Just arrived thanks to postman Pat.
Can't believe how quickly this was shipped and arrived. I'd been trying to get the black tip superspeed, but that particular beauty went for about 15 quid more than I was prepared to pay.
As it was, I got this black handled M2 flare tip which is in super condition. I did want one since I got the S1 one for my brother's 50th. I'd obviously given that a run out before I re-cleaned and wrapped it!
Has anyone ever tried the blades you get with these? Part of me wanting to give it a bash and the other saying no, don't be a dick, it's not been wrapped and protected, could have been used and you're bound to get folliculitis or worse!
The surprise was the Brit flare tip that I got for less than £20, i.e. less than some soaps I've bought! Late 50's (looking at the weight etc.). It had a lazy door and was a bit stiff. A damn good soak,little bit of toothbrush action and concentrating on the riser and door mechanism means it's now got a smooth action and is ready for a run out. Let's see how it performs compared to the USA Z3 flare tip. It's 1g heavier, not sure of the blade gap. I may do a side by side SoTD to really compare them.
Not sure which of these will get it's run out tomorrow
