Here's the review I promised, and I'm sorry I am late, I've been busy dealing with Christmas buying stuff for my family. Here's my review of the Gillette Black Tip. Again, if I make any mistakes or errors please correct me. I'm just adding what I know about the razors.
In the 1940's, when the Milord and 1940's Super Speed was introduced, Gillette introduced another steel handle and knob one piece razor called the Black Tip. This was Gillette's experiment to see if they could make and sell colored steel knob razors, thus the Black Tip was born. At the time, it was just called the Black Tip, now it's called the Black Tip Super Speed; and it's now a part of a 1940's trio of steel one piece razors, alongside the Milord and 1940's Super Speed. One example date code of the Black Tip is W2 which means it was made in the second quarter of 1952. The Black Tip may have been an experimental one piece razor by Gillette but it is also an excellent shaver. I prefer the Black Tip over the 1940's Super Speed as it seems the Black Tip is a better gliding razor.
Hope you enjoyed. Correct me if needed. My next review is going to be of the Gillette Red Tip SS. That's coming very soon.
