Well I did not see a sub forum for DE razors so posted here. So my wife came to me the other day saying her Gillete glide which is a decent off the shelf razor was out of blades and that they cost like $12+ for some refills. So I looked on TSS at the Merkur DE shavers and found her a Merkur #38 Barber Pole razor on clearance and blades for this beauty.

Hope she likes it and it shaves well as compared to a grocery store Gillete of course!

Any suggestions for her from anyone that has used these safety razors? I bought her a brush to have for herself too rather than use mine to soap up her legs. I plan on giving her a container of Poraso white to start out with since I have alot on hand and the cooling sensation of this soap a real nice feature.

Anyway..........figured a German DE would make the Gillete seem like a Ford Pinto as compared to a nice luxury car.
