Great vid, John! A little misunderstanding. Gillette never used copper in their razors. They used two different brass alloys commonly known as yellow-brass and red-brass. The red-brass contains 25% more copper in the alloy and was used because of the extra antibacterial properties copper has; it was believed that the red-brass top cap would prevent infections when the razor was used in the trenches and other less clean enviroments. Have a great weekend! #WAD
Nice job John, really like my 1951 Black tip!
