    So I bought a couple of items at the local flea market including a Gillette Red Tip for $20 bucks.

    I watched a couple of YouTube videos and a couple of hours later, well I think it came out great for my first rehab.

    The pictures really don't do it justice.

    Thoughts?

    What do you normally shave with?

    An excellent outcome. Great shaver, too.

    Just keep in mind the Gillette Red Tip is slightly more aggressive and until you use to it, remember to treat it accordingly. Not trying to shy you away from it; it's a very nice razor and is very efficient. :)

    Excellent job. Looks great but still shows the battle scars from many shaves. A classic.
