I have a English made red tip flare (if thats the correct model description?) that I picked up at the same time as my slim adjustable a few months ago.
The two razors were in the same box with the red tip very much the worse for wear in comparison with the slim.
I've been reading the tutorials here regarding cleaning etc and had a bit of a go last week.
Soaking overnight in baby oil !!! after a cleaning soak etc.
It has definitely made a difference in terms of usability as I think it now shuts the doors fully down. It was very vicious previously?
Is there any way of pinning down dates on the English made Gillette's?
Here are a few pics of the inscriptions
I can't get PB to rotate this one
