    Word is it was designed to be aggressive, or at least more so than the blue tip and nickel tip.

    That's the way I find them, but the red tip is not too aggressive.

    While it might be slightly more aggressive than a regular Flair Tip, I think of it as a more efficient razor. It gives me BBS or near BBS shaves in two passes.

    That's my idea of a perfect razor.

    Listed as an Italian shaving brush, though the seller said it had no marks on it saying so; he said his father immigrated from Italy to Canada with it.

    I liked the look of it and the price was right.

    A 3 piece Yintal bronze from Alibaba, ordered about a month ago. Still hasn't shipped yet, I guess with this coronavirus all things from China are really delayed. I hope the package will be safe, when it arrives.

    By the pics, it may have been green at one point (paint chips on edge).

    Great catch Jim, I'd say by the knurling near the neck and lack of bracing on the center bar 1948 - 1950.
