    Jason, Congratulations on the first straight shave!

    I also enjoy using the vintage DE blades when I can. I think I have several years supply of vintage blades! I was able to get some of the personna 74 also. That GEM is a nice razor. I have not tried using a SE yet.

    If all goes well I should be up for my first straight shave this weekend! My work has kept me busy. I want to take time to do it right. I have a nice 5/8 W&B special shave ready I will use.


    The vintage DE I have :

    '48 super speed
    '66 super speed
    '75 super speed

    '61 tech
    '59 fatboy
    '66 slim

    RKP: Thanks for the postback! I hope your shave goes really well this weekend. That's a nice collection of DE's you got there. And a nice straight. SE's are a bit different than DE's. I can't explain it. But make sure you use a good blade on those as they can be tricky and sometimes harsh.

    My straight is a Landers, Frary & Clark 5/8. It's used and in surprisingly good shape. I wanted to go inexpensive as I didn't know if I'd like it, but I think I do. Had my first shave yesterday (you know that already) and it went pretty darn good. Not much blood!
    Take care,
    Jason
