1956 Gillette Red Tip Super Speed Safety Razor – B2 Date Code

A beautifully restored example of one of Gillette’s most desirable vintage safety razors.

This authentic 1956 Gillette Red Tip Super Speed, date code B2, comes from Gillette’s classic color-coded Super Speed lineup. The Red Tip was designed to provide a more efficient shave while retaining the smooth, intuitive operation that made the Super Speed series so popular.

This razor has been expertly refurbished at Razor Emporium in Phoenix, Arizona. It was meticulously disassembled, cleaned, stripped, and replated with three times the original thickness of the original plating, making it even better than factory new.

The classic twist-to-open butterfly mechanism operates smoothly, making blade changes quick and easy.
