You must elaborate on that shaving experience, Mrchick!
Yeah, I'm intrigued with the vibrating DE like the Stahly and the one Mrchick just posted. Do they provide a better shave when wound up?
MrChick, I have a Stahly Live DE but never heard of a Vibro-Shaver. More info and pics please. Also have an electric DE.

The Vibro-Shaver is a windup vibrating razor. This one has a Gillette Old Type head on it. I loaded a GSB, wound it up and proceeded to shave. I did the first pass in vibro mode and found it a little difficult. The side button has to be pressed with the thumb to keep it running. I found this awkward and gave up half way through the second pass. I finished up holding the handle lower and ended up with a very nice BBS. I really like the Old Type heads.
I didn't see any difference in the shave with the vibrating mode engaged. It looks like it was just a sales gimmick.
I tend to love sales gimmicks for the sake of a mind that thinks sideways at times. I listen to my impulses (at times) and googled Vibro-Shaver, hit an eBay listing and bought a working one on the spot. Budget is stretched and bent for awhile (more beans for dinner) but it wasn't expensive by any means. While life isn't always good it can be pleasant on occasion.
MrChick, if I read right the original had a curved SE head on it. I'm also curious as to what style head is on mine.
Mr. Sharptonn, sir, as you may know, my Hobitt heritage impels me to acquire those implements that reflect upon and are similar to the lifestyle of distant antecedents. There are numerous articles from the past several centuries that are surely based on, or derived from, those that were used in bygone days. You, yourself, saw to the rehabilitation and restoration of a valued straight razor designed for those of diminished physical stature for my exclusive use. May praise be reaped upon you head for the fine work that you did.
This translates to...
Too young, to give a crap, and too old, to care. Har!
Thank you gentlemen! Your comments make me laugh, making a crappie day just a bit better...:rock:

Been a long time since I've shaved with such a narrow blade. Albeit two weepers from wrong angle, a very close, and comfortable shave.
Thanks Mike, she shaves a treat.
Hope the stache razor works the same for you.
How ya like that Ceaderwood Doug?
