My Parat is the ultimate 40's Superspeed. I haven't tried a Flaretip besides the black handle, but I want to someday.
My favorite is the one I'm using at the moment ... Gillette got it so very right and mass produced millions of Super Speed razors for many generations to enjoy!
My red tip. Then my 47. Followed by my NDC 40s. Last but not least my flare tip.

For me they give the same quality shave but, i only do WTG as i have to shave every day and great shaves leave very little to shave the next day which in turn isnt a good feeling shave. Different balance of course. I like the knurling on the red tip more though. I will say i like the 47 more than my regular rocket. HD 500 is a step up from them in smoothness i think.
Yes, I too have to shave every day but would really have to skip two or three days to get the best, most comfortable result. I suspect that's a big reason milder razors like the Super Speed work so well for me. I can do three passes every day if I have the time with no irritation or weepers, but even just one pass is good enough.For me they give the same quality shave but, i only do WTG as i have to shave every day and great shaves leave very little to shave the next day which in turn isnt a good feeling shave.
Yep. Me too. Mine's a D1/1958.My birth year/quarter flare tip.
