WiffWaff said:Just wondering if anyone can give a bit of a clue on the relative aggressiveness of red tips, blue tips, flair tips... and any other tips made by Gillette in the 50s. All I know at the moment is that blue are "mild" and red are "aggressive".
The reason I'm asking... these razors are in the ball park for a birth year razor... B1 is actually what I want... so I could do with a bit of prior knowledge if something desirable suddenly pops up, but I'm not in the market at the moment.
PS... as well as the birth year thing, I also think they look bloody marvellous!
WiffWaff said:US Diplomat duly noted. Gold-plated might make it a bit more fancy... then maybe I could shave with it on my... erm... birthday!
I agree, I use a skanky Aristocrat (it looks horrid, but shave like a dream) on a regular basis, together with a red tip superspeed now and then, I have quite a few others, never use them.dodgy said:If you like using a Red Tip, you will enjoy the Diplomat. Maybe try to find either that one or the more common Aristocrat to test drive and see if it's for you. Can probably find a user grade for not much cash. You're lucky to have that sorta birth year razor as an option.
