I tried to get a 56 some years ago but couldn’t find one so I have a 58, I guess they shave about the same
Thanks, I should use this 1956 B-2 Red Tip combination more often. There is little story about how I found this razor in a shop several years ago. It was in mid December. The shop was in a two story brick building. This razor was in a glass cabinet but there was no razor case with it. I asker the clerk if there may have been a case for it. She said I'll check. She talked to a large man with a white beard on a tall ladder who was hanging decorations. It was his razor. He went outside the shop and brought in the case from his car and said Merry Christmas and went back to hanging the decorations.

Had a couple of days of nice shaves with my D4 Red Tip.
Quick question, is that vintage old spice or a replica? Thank you in advance
Not vintage. I bought a bunch last year from Walmart... Partial link (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Old-Spice-After-Shave-Classic-Scent-4-25-FL-oz)
Thank you for your quick reply, I will look into it
All three Red Tips. I love them all! L to R: U.S. Red Tip, Brit Flair Tip and Brit Rocket.
Is the rocket your favorite?
If I had to choose yes. It's just so solid and nicely balanced plus I love the mechanical TTO action. These days hard to find a Red Tip Rocket in good condition. Found these years ago, mostly from the UK.
