I bought my first (3) DE razors today!
Well I started shaving last year when I was 15 with a straight razor, and I love it, but am always open to more convinent ways to shave, and somtimes I'm either not in the mood to do the straight rozor prep or just need a quick shave. Although I don't plan to quit shaving with a straight razor all together, I love it too much to quit, I do plan to have a DE on hand just to have if I need it. I went to a local flea market last week and saw a little DE gillette razor but didn't even bother trying to buy it until later when I really started to think about it. I went back today and I couldn't find the guy he wasn't in the same spot as last week but there was another woman who had a box full of DE razors for 2 dollars a peice, I found another Gillette razor and a razor that was marked "property of the US Army" and then a little later I found the original razor I saw last week and the man only wanted 1 dollar for it, so I bought 3 new razors today. I bought the only blades I could find which are "Wilinson Sword Double Edge Razor Blades" they were about 2 dollars for a pack of 10, so I figured I'd buy them, hope they work decently, I couldn't find anything else. Anyways, I'll post pictures in a little while if you guys want to see them! I'm off to do my first Double Edge shave now :)
