Thread: Thanks, Jerry/Gasman!

Been using safety razors for 7yrs or so.



......I've got two.

Just keep hanging around this place and many different cases of A.D. will sink in.

It wouldn't be unheard of to get 100 for $100 or even less.

100 for 100? Damn! I got to get out and look some more.

Umm........Gasman, don't you already have almost 200?

When someone asks me why I need another razor, I'll tell them I need a quality backup tool and don't want to have to get one of these....

Ever wonder why they call them ‘safety’ razors? The folks who use them cut themselves so much that they have specialized words for it like ‘weeper’, and ‘nick’, nick being something that occurs on a regular basis and accepted occurrence, and ’safety’ razor folks look for products to ‘seal’ those nicks and weepers. Razor burn seems to be a common and spoken of as part of the ’safety’ razor experience. As a side note, ‘safety’ blades struggle to get 5 shaves - I’m on shave 78 with my Filly 14 Sub Cero and it’s still knocking out DFS every single shave.

Another 100 wouldnt hurt. I might have to find somewhere else to store them, but...

I just had my first bloodless shave with that square point razor you gave me, Gasman. Had to keep telling myself to slow down, easy on the pressure, watch the blade angle....


WATCH THAT SHARP POINT!!!!

When you get really good Slim, I’ll loan you a kamisori, aka ‘terror stick’ - both the toe and the heel can bite! But you’ll learn how to shave softly.
