I have been a lurker for a bit and have been asking santa for a nice de for a while but while I was out killing time today I stopped in a old junk shop and snagged two razors a old gillette de and a straight I also bought some wilkinson sword blades just to try it out. I did get some weepers but not near as bad as I thought it was going to be thank god.I have always used the 3 or 4 blade razors and refills but they blow goats compared to the de I love the shave I just gotta figure it all out.Wish me luck.
