Just wondering if anyone can give a bit of a clue on the relative aggressiveness of red tips, blue tips, flair tips... and any other tips made by Gillette in the 50s. All I know at the moment is that blue are "mild" and red are "aggressive".
As a baseline... I'm currently using my Slim on setting 4. I'm also very impressed with the Weber polished head I got recently. But I'm also rather fond of my Fat Handled Tech. If, for example, the blue was as mild as the Tech and the red as aggressive as theWeber... I'd have something to go at.
The reason I'm asking... these razors are in the ball park for a birth year razor... B1 is actually what I want... so I could do with a bit of prior knowledge if something desirable suddenly pops up, but I'm not in the market at the moment.
PS... as well as the birth year thing, I also think they look bloody marvellous!
