    SOTD, Feb 11th 2020, Flare tip Super Speed February and I was looking through my storage razors and came across my M3 Black handled Flare tip, This razor is OK for daily shaving but is not as well built as my Gillette 1956 all brass nickel coated flare tip IMO.
    I think the handle is Aluminum and has a brass head but it delivers a good shave.

    Razor: Gillette regular M3 flare tip with coated black handle-MFG 1967 3 qtr
    Blade: Personna red (5)
    Soap: Colonel Conk Bay rum- Good soap
    Brush: Yaqi wolf whiskers 24 mm
    Pre-shave: Brush wash my face with CeraVe hand bar soap + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
    Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 2.+(clean up)
    Post shave: FINE fresh Vetiver aftershave with witch hazel + Nivea Men balm.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG]great shave!

    Thanks, Gary!
    The tip has been repainted, other than that I believe it to be original.
