That's really crass.

However, now that the gate is open, keep me in mind when you want to dump inventory.

I used one of the screw-top Gillettes when I was in service (back when they were, uh, new-in-box). I regularly shredded my neck with them. I have lately wondered if it was the razor, my skin or absence of prep and technique. Dad used one a few times and gave it to me. Maybe that should've told me something. He went back to his big pop-top dial-an-edge version.

This is beginning to sound like another bloody learning experience. I remember my dad using them. It seems like once a week he went out the door with a piece of toilet paper stuck on his face with a little red spot in the middle of it. Maybe not that often, you know how memories are :<0) So I am still not really pumped up about this but I guess I am going to have to try it.

{Future post} "WTH was I thinking"""

I have a feeling that your shave prep experience & shaving with a straight may be more than your father's, so your experience should be great. I went from straights to DE without a cut.

If you say so, I trust it. You never steered me wrong before. Except that Avon thing smelled like poop. But that wasn't your fault and I love that little anvil :<0)
That is a very nice collection you got there by the way.

Those little travel razors are cheap on Ebay, I think a couple of them were cheaper than the shipping cost.

Look at you, from don't know what to do with these to D/EBAD, I have only used an astra blade, it was good, but nothing to compare it to.
I haven't heard many good things about derbys, but who knows.
Enjoy the new experience.

72 blades will probably last me till I die :<0) Else I would have went for a bigger variety pack.

Then let me know where the estate sale is so I can get some Ducks!

+1 on Royalshave, they've been good. I too wish they had a brick/mortar.

Lets hope it runs out prior, otherwise it was a waste of money

Just to give you a little incentive you do not want, if you have problems and cant use it I will buy them both and frame them. I can then go to a meet up and say I am the proud owner of the DE 10pups could not tame. Who knows they may be a collectors item then, I turn a profit and can buy Ducks

Swishing in the sink is what i should have said and final rinse in fresh water. Also if you are in a hurry go to Wally world they carry Wilkinson sword.
Good luck Buddy I am sure you will do just fine.
