Overall, the razor is in relatively nice condition, considering its age.
The handle shows some plating loss and wear, and remains attractive.
The head shows some plating loss and wear (a significant number of "spots" of corrosion beginning), but maintains some luster.
No end caps (cosmetic only) are present.
The red tip remains rich in color, with some limited wear.
The TTO function working properly.
Please use the pictures to properly identify and evaluate.

Fast Facts:
The Gillette Red Tip super speed was manufactured between
1955 and 1960. It is a TTO (twist to
open) double edged model. At least
partly attributed to its relatively heavier weight, it was known for its aggressive
shave. The handle is wider than other
super speeds and uses knurling to improve the grip.
