After a couple of months of enjoying the 20-minute ritual of stropping and careful, focused shaving with a vintage straight razor, I shaved with my 1950s Gillette Red Tip. It took a total of about 7 minutes to get a perfectly good one-pass shave. If time and convenience were my main criteria, the Red Tip would win hands down. Still, I prefer the 20-minute old school ritual. Good ting I’m retired.
