The Gillette Flare Tip combined the hugely popular Super Speed with a more grippable handle, and now you get the best of both worlds!

This razor is one of the best of the best. It is uniquely designed to give shavers the ease of maneuverability with its sleek short handle design. The razor has a highly desirable grippable handle with a classic flare tip end where the shaver can turn the TTO or twist to open mechanism to load blades. The razor is compact, sleek and gives a highly comfortable shave. One of the peaks of Gillette's long standing history of double edge razors.

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.
