The opening and closing mechanism is so smooth,, really like when both doors close together and then the complete head moves down a little,, so smooth..
👌🏽👍🏽
The one you have is known as the super speed regular. For regular mans beard. The powered blue tip was a very mild shave and then the red tip an aggressive shave. Beautiful razors.
Nice bit of info! Thanks for sharing!
Oh, and if $2.49 is a good deal, then let me know and I’ll grab them all if you know anyone who wants one for trade or something?! I can afford that at least being a poor dad with no job! 😂😩. God bless and gimme a shout if that’s a good deal. If they’re discontinued, then I wanna grab them if that’s a good price. I know it’s better than the $8 bucks I spent on Amazon that’s for sure! Ha!

Agreed. I own two super speeds still in impressive conditions. Love to shave with them. Makes me look forward to mornings
Great video, thank you! I've been shaving with straight razors for about 20 years. I just bought my first DE, a 1957 (birth year) Flare Tip.
Awesome!! Enjoy it!
In honor of D-Day tomorrow.. I'll be using my 1939 pre WW2 Gillette tech razor along with my Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood shave cream... USA and Britain.
👍🏽 Nice, Rob!! That’s neat!
Love shaving with vintage razors! Just shaved with the Gillette blue tip tonight. Mild comfortable razor.
Nice!! I’m loving the vintage game so far. 👍🏽
Just bought this one in a antique shop for 4 dollars along with a Gillette old open comb for 12 bucks 17 years old starting my wet shaving journey tonight shaved with it got a little bit of razor burn but now super bad just gotta continue to practice now
Bravo to you, my friend. Take your time and let the device do all the work. Limit your passes and hone in on your technique. Welcome to the a trip down the rabbit 🕳️ hole.
I own several 1954's, my birth year...(code Z-3) both Flair Tips and Super Speeds... I also have a 1954 Gillette Diplomat, one of my absolute favorites...
👍🏽 nice!
Just ordered a clean vintage 1965 Gillette Super Speed Flare Tip from Razor Emporium. Can't wait to use the bad boy. Thanks for the video dude!
Cool!! Enjoy and thanks for watching!
I just got done shaving with my 1958 Flare Tip- great shave
Indeed!
You didn't find that 1958 Gillette flare tip a little bit aggressive when going against the grain?
Dude this thing cut me to shreds.
@@trueblu8 Are you sure you're using the proper blade angle and technique? Double edge safety razors require proper blade angle and proper technique to not cut yourself. But if you don't like the razor then that's fine you don't have to it's up to you, but for me this razor, like any other old Gillette gives me real decent shaves.
@@jonathan19947 yeah that's the bewildering part. I have found that vintage razors are usually very mild and smooth for me. I don't know if it was because it was gold-plated or what but this thing is not smooth at all. Maybe I'll try it with a different blade some other time. The only other razor that was like this for me was the brass Karve. Both of those razors gave me little minor abrasions and cuts all over the place, especially when going against the grain. I have like 40 or 50 different razors. These were the only two to ever do that to me. And I think you are right. I think it has something to do with blade angle.
My go to for Sunday shave is a Gillette Black beauty, date code RR- dialed at 4, really a great razor.
Sounds like it!
Hi buddy. Enjoy your videos and you piqued my curiosity about the Gillette Barbershop shave mousse so I ordered one from Amazon after checking a couple of stores around me, and paid almost $8 bucks for it, then found them at a store I hadn’t yet checked for $2.49 a piece! 😩. Just my luck, but you live and learn. Smell is great and I grabbed a couple for that price and in case they decide to stop carrying it, which again would be my luck! 😂. Take care and God bless. Oh, and I too have a ‘54 Super Speed and it’s just great! They sure don’t make ‘em like that anymore. Be well and have a great one. To everyone on here too. 👍🏻
Thanks for the kind words. Yes, they have discontinued it so it’s hit or miss. I heard that they sell it in Kroger stores if you have them near you - stock up.
Thanks for your reply brother...I picked them up at a Giant supermarket (one that my wife always shops at and I had no idea they had them!) here in Mechanicsburg, PA! Couldn’t believe they were just $2.49 and I got shafted for almost $8 bucks for one! Ha! Oh well. Now I know. I have a light beard and pretty sensitive skin, so I barely had anything to work with tonight but I really wanted to try the mousse so I used my 1940s Gillette Gold Tech 3-piece which is mild, and a Gillette Silver Blue blade and I didn’t get one nick! That’s a first for me. Has to have a lot to do with that foam I must say! I LOVE it and thank you again for your promoting it, even though I got shafted on Amazon! Lol!!!! Love the smell and feel and it’s even better than some of the soap pucks I got. Lost my job last year due to Covid so I’ve been shopping online more than I should! God bless and keep up the fun and informative videos. Blessings to you and your family. Take care my friend! JP
Great shave!👍
Thanks!
That's a nice mild razor. I have a 1955 Flare Tip and a 1951 Tech 3 piece razor. All still give great shaves. People who don't like them need to work on their technique. Nice video.

UUUh take care Percy rolling in the grass could be a dead bird or something else smelly lol great video as usual...stay safe....cheers...Peter
Cheers! Yes - they love to roll around in road kill 😂
@@averageguytested lol yes
Gillette Foam Mousse the best shaving foam a man can get 😉 Great shave as usual Tony!👍
Indeed! Thanks for watching 👍🏽
Great shave!! The Jacqueline Mink that comments on your videos, is that “YOUR JACKIE?”
👍🏽
theMediaMart Nice 👍
Nice video!
Thanks, K, Vance!
Hey Buddy! Cheers!
Cheers back to you, brah!!
Nice shave , have you tried the Harry's shave gel?
Yes, I love it👍🏽
I have the same razor it was my great grandpas but he never used but it's new
Awesome!!! That’s so cool.
How do you compare the flare tip vs chieftain jr in terms of aggressiveness i love the flare tip but would like it to be more effective
Have you tried an adjustable DE? If not, I’d suggest you do - that way you can dial in the aggressiveness.
Dude this razor cut me to shreds. 1958 Flare Tip. Used a brand new Feather in it.
Feather blades will get you every time.
@@averageguytested You think that's what it was?
Feather blades are extra sharp. The sharpest out there. Try the Wilkinson Sword blade.
I have almost the same flair tip...Mine is a 56..I can attest that the feather blade was not a good match in mine for me..(new)A friend told me about feather so I bought them first..But I have been using the Wilkinson sword,and the derby blades and I have not been cut once since then.Been a couple months..I just had to reply since I had a similar experience...
@@1911acolt1 I will be sure to use a milder blade the next time I attempt to use it. Thanks for your response. Glad to know I wasn't the only one to have a bad experience using a Feather blade in there.
Good night, i know that it's not father's yet but i would like to say happy father's as i remember
Thanks! Likewise 👍🏽
You are welcome
👍🏽
Tony does that super speed have the quarter turn lock?
The super speed doesn’t
@@averageguytested thank you Tony;)
Loved it bra
👍🏽✅
1954 ... Eisenhower was President... unreal..
Unreal - indeed
Uh actually, Eisenhower was President. 🇺🇸
@@josephrocco2954 LOL what was I thinking!
🤪👍🏽
😂👋🏽
Ever use shave soap ? I prefer it over cans that end up in landfills. Since I care about our planet I opt for the all biodegradable shave soaps.
Yes. Williams Mug soap is very good.
I have 2 can of that gilette moose
It’s good stuff!
Looks like the King C Gillette took more off in the first 2 passes. Maybe you need a Muhle R41.... a real mans men razor.... $40 on amazon today or maybe a Fatip.....they even have an open comb slant..... Maggards has it....
Good idea - will check them out.
@@averageguytested I just finished using the King C Gillette for the 1st time. I did not get a good shave like you did. Probably I am more used to a different angle....or never learnt this one.... might try a different handle. I think I get better shaves from the vintage Gillettes. Keep shaving....ohhh and yes I also got a "G. Foamy" can....
