Red Tip++
Such a pleasure to use, especially coming from using a Black Beauty for a couple of days. I really do prefer razors without any positive exposure.
I haven't had much sense of smell the past few days (not COVID thankfully) so using Scots Pine Sheep multiple days in a row hasn't been a problem. It's not a bad scent, there's just not much too it. And the mutton base, as we all know, is great.
Your red tip doesn't have a positive exposure?
I have the British rocket version, and I think it has a decent exposure. I'll have to double check.
My Red Tip is suspiciously mild.
Maybe some joker painted a Blue Tip red π
I suspect it was a democrat (unless it's British, then I blame the Tories) π€£
Those sneaky democrats, first they steal the election, then the exposure :shakes_fist_at_sky:
The paint is chipping off (as it does) and there's no blue paint! Maybe it was a regular Flare Tip that got painted?
Probably! I don't see any other option :)
