Gillette Red Tip!

**nmg82** · 09-14-2009, 07:05 AM

I shaved this morning for the first time with an old Gillette Red Tip razor loaded with a Red Pack Personna blade. It gave a fantastic shave! I absolutely love it and can't wait to use it for the next couple of weeks.

Any other Red Tip lovers out there?

I acquired a RedTip 2 weeks ago from another B&B member. I am now torn between it and my fatboy for which one I like best. It's OK, everyone NEEDS multiple razors, right?

Red tips are great.

I acquired a Red Tip recently as well, but haven't had time to try it yet. However, my Black Handle SS and Flair Tip SS are great shavers.

My first BBS shave was with a Red-Tip.

Of all the Gillette DE's, the red tip Superspeed is my favorite. The only other DE that I've had experience with that I like as well or better is a Barbasol razor.

That said, my favorite safety razor is an SE. My daily shaver is a 1900/1901 patent dated, lather catcher style, Gem Jr. Bar Razor.

Regards,
Tom

I have two. One for travel and one for home. I also roll with Red IPs. They're the best. However, I just scored a Gillette Old Type open comb so I'm excited to try that. Gillettes seem to have this power over me....I...can't....stop....BUYING.

I need to set aside some time to polish up a redtip my friend Jakespoppy sent to me out of the kindness of his heart!

I am going to try it with a feather! I think i have one somewhere in the den. *crosses my fingers*

Red Tip + Feather = shaving bliss (IMO)
