    It's a 1955 A2...I used Scrubbing Bubbles to clean it up a bit.
    I plan to try it out tomorrow!

    Congratulations on your find. Polish it up with some FLITZ, and it should shine up nicely.

    Red Tips are very underrated in today's "I wants Morrrre Aggressive!" world. They are very efficient shavers, and a light touch will result in a nice shave.

    Probably the first time I've heard anyone call a Redtip mild.
    But then I do recall saying that once technique is mastered, even the most agressive razors can give a mild shave.
