I recently picked up my first Red Tip. So far I love it!
Very nice razor, smooth shaves with just the right balance of sharpness and comfort, good luck
Oh, so far I love it. Great bite to it. I can't wait until the month is out and see how it likes blades other than these Parkers.
I think you will find better blades, gillette blades from Russia are very smooth

This is my favorite DE razor...I had the unfortunate experience of starting with this razor at the beginning of my DE shaving.Unfortunate because all the other razors I bought lacked the balance of blade feel,Aggression,feedback..Etc.I eventually just realized that maybe I started with the right one...I have two..One is like new,the other is the one I use..It’s also in good shape but has some wear..The red is nearly gone..I especially like the highband years..YMMV

I'm very much looking forward to tonight's shave. All through the month of March, I've been using my Red Tip for the FFFMM challenge*. I love the razor, but the Parker in there isn't quite what I was hoping for. Great shaves, but a little meh. Good, but not mind blowing.
Anyways, I'm also sitting on a couple (hundred) GSB blades as well as Sharks. I'm looking forward to seeing what one of those will do in there!
*Yes, I know it's been over for almost a week, but that Parker is still shaving well, so there was no real need to swap.

A2 red tip, nice smooth shave, 73g, so somewhat heavier than the original.
Very nice handle

Thank you very much 
You’re welcome sirThank you very much
So all throughout March I've been using my Red Tip with Parker blades. Great comfortable close shaves. So April 1, I jump back to my '56 SS for a change of pace. Today, I went back to the Red Tip with a fresh Shark. Man, what a difference! Nothing against Parkers, but it did even better with the Shark. I think it'll take a GSB like a charm.
