Description
Available is this spectacular revamped Gillette Red Tip. This classic Gillette Super Speed model has been cleaned, polished glass bead blasted, and plated in Factory Nickel to give it that magnificent modern matte finish. The TTO or twist to open function works perfectly, allowing you to open the doors in a swift motion with no problems.
The red tip is one of the most popular razor choices for wet shavers due to the close shave provided and its exquisite durability. If you need an aggressive shaver or looking for a bit more heft, this is the razor for you!
Vintage safety razors pack some of the most bang for the buck, but knowing if they are fully functional, hygienic and shave-ready is a different story. This razor has gone through our complete tune up process. We first clean the razor in our industrial ultrasonic machine to remove any soap scum, mineral deposits and grime. Disassembly is carried out for the best results whenever possible. Next we carefully polish the inside and out of the razor, bringing the vintage metal up to a high luster. Mechanical adjustments are made to ensure the best functionality of the razor.
