British Red Tip vs American Red Tip

The blade gap on the US one is 0.73mm

The. UK RedTip SS is 0.81mm....so a little bump in efficiency there.

I haven't tried the US version but the UK Red Tip is verrrry smooth.

Cool, thanks! How does it compare to a rocket HD?
I wasn’t able to find the blade gap for the British HD.

Red Tip UK (maybe even US) has "III" stamped under the baseplate.....this was meant to be their highest efficiency for tough beards.

The Rocket HD, some of them have "II" stamped under the BP, many have no such stamp even.

So Im just guessing that a Rocket HD might be slightly milder....you can always try it with Feather blades and dial it up a bit.

Basically regular super speed is a blue tip, the rocket hd is like a grey tip.

The British Red tips sell for too much, my HD sold for the same price as an American Red Tip and that’s why I purchased it lol.

My HD doesn’t have the II under the baseplate.

I have both red tips and the red tip rocket. I can't really tell the difference between any of them.

Have you shaved with them?
You can't tell major difference by looking at them....
