Horrible,,, could not even finish the right cheek.

I grabbed one of the current production Sharks out of Egypt for a fine shave.
I have a few other strays lying around, so they will be put to the test in the coming weeks.

Had your tetanus shot updated?
I guess if you haven't had your shots updated we can have some PEACE and QUIET, after you get lockjaw.

There's always hope! ";"Quote:

I have & use Don Juan blades. Got a nice box with 100 blades in 5 blade boxes. These are from the 50's best I can tell. Some may have a tiny bit of rust but it cleans off easily. Being as I shave with straight's most of the time, these should last a while & they hone well for me. Mainly use the DE when I travel.

That's quite a collection! Just make sure you don't get your Durex boxes mixed up when you're fumbling around for one! :-P
Here's a few but I think most have been posted already.

I have some others that I need to dig out and post yet too.
Looking good & the thread needed a bump.
I am a big fan of the Gillette super blue blades, I pick up a NOS pack every once in a while, and I always get great shaves from them, no matter if my razor is mild or more aggressive, they seem to give me flawless shaves and work in every single razor for me.
Hey guys,
These were tossed in the box with one of the open combs I received. We will add them to this thread.
Thanks for looking,,,, :D

I remember going to a huge antique store were they had boxes filled with stuff that you had to dig into. Anyway I reached my hand in and got stabbed and cut because the bottom of the box was filled with loose old DE blades. After that I looked around for someone to yell at and noticed 2 young children digging in boxes close to me. After I saw them I grabbed the box and threw it on top of some tall shelves. I ended up getting to yell at someone when the owner saw me throw the box and yelled at me.
