    Funny, the first time i shaved with a black tip after first stroke i ran water over the razor and opened it up to see if i had forgotten to place a blade in the razor. :-) Yup there was a blade in there.......
    The Black Tip is an extremely conservative razor, .... very comfortable shave.
    Only manufactured for two years,....1951 and '52 i think.
