Forget the risk of buying online, paying shipping, shipping the razor to us, paying for service work, only to receive the razor back and be disappointed because it wasn't a perfect candidate to begin with.

Made to order Gillette Red Tip

Beautifully done! I ordered the razor in rhodium and it arrived in like new condition, operating perfectly. Shaving with it is a dream. I find the razor to be slightly more aggressive than my 1949 Super Speed, which I like. I've wanted a red tip for a long time and I treasure it!

High recommended Razor

No doubt it lives up to its title Super Speed. I feel lucky to get this while its still available revamped by Razor Emporium. I used Muhle open comb two piece before this razor, and got nicked here and there. However this super speed shaves as close as the Muhle and no nicks. Its a beauty to look at, and reminds me of 1959, when it was manufactured. I highly recommend this red tip if you love shaving, the traditional way, and are a perfectionist when you shave, or are in the military or are a CEO where grooming for men matters. I am sure you will love it. Thanks to Matt that he offers revamping. It looks brand new. Works flawlessly.

Gillette red tip de razor

The razor looks good and shaves great . The whole process took three months it was hard to be patient to wait that long . I was told it was due to covid and then the weather and the postal service is slow too
