My flying wing is giving me a bit of a fit so I set it aside this PM in prep for my daughter's school play. First use, BBS! Hate to say it, but this may be the best razor I own. Still, I have a black tip super speed and a tech or 2 to try. Right now, this flare tip comes a very close second to my NEW from about 1930. No wonder the vintage Gillettes are so sought after!
