Thread: %$#$$%% OMG - Unbelievable!

Just received my DE this morning after I had already shaved.

It's in great condition, little Gillette Thin Blade inside the little tissue box (har har), the case was in great condition.

Since I had already shaved, I looked at the DE for a few minutes, carefully unpacked one of the Lord Platinum DE blades, placed it into the razor, and had another good look at it.

Maybe there is some scary memory buried deep in my psyche, but this razor absolutely scares the heck out of me! What a paradox, completely comfortable with a straight, yet this looks like it will butcher me given half a chance.

I'm terrified of the thing, it looks like I'll lather up, and then proceed to rip the entire right side of my face off!! Sheesh, I remember using these things, and I didn't have to watch any videos or read any prep material, you put the soap on your face and dragged it across.

Well, it's fun to read, so maybe I'll read some stuff here...any tips using these things for the first time in over 30 years??
