    I hope I don't offend the SRP gods by showing this off a little.

    Nice. Looks like a keeper.

    Did the blades come with it?

    I doubt they came with it originally, more likely came with a larger pack of Super-Blues. But they did come with it when I got it.

    I picked up a 60s flare tip yesterday. It had a similar box but was white with clear glass (plastic). I plan on shaving with it tomorrow, hopefully.

    Nice one! The razor/red looks solid and the case looks new! I won a red tip on an auction some time back that had a blue blade in it. The auction description was 'Shaving mug w/ old silver razor' ! Yep it was a red tip. And a 'buy it now' for I think 12 bucks. It cleaned up to look great but yours looks new off the shelf!
