    The red is definately heavier by far. I've shaved with the black tip twice now and love it. I gotta clean the red one up a bit more and then i'll give it a try and see. Thanks for all your help guys!

    nevermind, i found the pictures of the black tip next info on the above sheet. looks like mine is the steel version of the 1952 black tip. Thanks a million for your help!

    Next question, what are the differances between the 2 above razors or are they basically the same?
    You can tell the difference because Mama G only made certain razors certain years. The didn't make a black tip in '77, so we know it has to be 1952. Btw, I have a 1951 black tip. I can't shave with it. All the DEs that I have accumulated give horrible shaves. I don't have a problem with SE, and of course I'm learning SR, so I think it's probably me. However, SE gives me such a superior shave, I don't really care to learn DE. Anyone want some razors?
