I started to shave with a double edge Gillette razor a few months ago for several reasons. Reason number one is that I left double edge shaving years ago for the Electric razor and later the multi blade razors along with the disposable plastic razors for traveling. A few months ago I was looking through the items in the garage and found a box that contained my late father in law's personal items and saw a Gillette Double Edge Razor. I remembered both seeing my father shave with a like razor and I also remembered my youth. Well, to make a long story short I cleaned and have been using it ever since. Now for my questions, I still use the foam shaving cream, however, I have purchases two classic Old Spice mugs and one Burma Shave Mug and I am now looking to purchase some more current soap as the only ones I have are classic Williams and Burma Shave and I do not wish to use them. Next, I have read a couple of threads about after shave and everybody seems to dislike Brut, I have used Brut in moderation for many years and do not have a problem with it, but I also use Old Spice and want to try some others. I would like to ask for some ideas about a non offending After Shave and shaving soap that would be right for a 65 year old that still likes to camp and go to Sports Car Races.

My last question is there anybody who can give me help with the name of a razor. I have a Gillette non adjustable razor that the top opens when you twist the bottom of the handle. The razor has no lettering on it to be able to tell the year such as an A-1 or anything. The handle is exactly three inches from the bottom of the shaving head. It has two shallow rings on the knob that turns approx 1/4 inch apart and another much deeper righ about 3/8 of an inch above where the knob attaches to the rest of the handle. The pattern on the handle is composed of many small dots looking like they form a diamond type design.

I know that I have taken a lot of space and asked what I am sure many will think stupid questions, however, any and all help that you might give would be very appreciated.
