My first razor was a DD Special No. 1 purchased from my barber in 1968. Still have it and it still shaves great.

Acquired my first in 1968 in Morocco. It was probably French made because Morocco was no longer a French possession, they had close ties in consumer goods. Next move it was packed in the bottom of a box and didn't surface until 1977 when it emerged with numerous chips. Next step was consignment to the dustbin. I do still have the horsehide and carborundum strop. It is going strong 46 years later. I have cleaned it and worked strop dressing into it and replaced the leather grips.
