first Safety Razor shave this morning....Love it
I picked up a straight razor a few months ago and could never really get the hang of it, I'd do the right side of my face with the straight and have to do the left with my cartridge razor so I put it aside for another day. I recently ran out of blades for my cartridge and decided that rather then buying the ridiculously over priced replacements I decided to look at safety razors and see what I could find. Well In the classified section here I found a first quarter of 1961 Gillette razor for a nominal price and decided to go for it, I then went to walmart to find some cheap blades (wilkinson swords) and set about shaving. I soaked my brush in hot water before my shower, got out made my later, lathered up, checked some email, went back to get to shaving. I had the razor set at 1 to begin with but after a pass I realized that it was too low so I bumped it to two and ended up at 4 by the end of the shave. Really enjoy it :rock:
