Finally got a DE
Seems everyone has one but me! Never even tried one, but have used a Gem SE, which was very good. My straight collecting has gone pretty much full-circle, so I figured an old DE would be cool. I did not want anything new, anything like what everyone else has, Gillette, meh. Since Henckels straights are some of my faves, I have absconded with an old Henckels Henso. They ran from 1914-WWII. Supposedly not too aggressive, between an old and new type Gillette, I read.
This one looked like it had been drug thru the war. The case is super dented and scratched. The head of the razor looked the same, so I polished it down to brass. The handle was green and filthy, took a lot of scrubbing.
Pretty neat razor, I think. I will give it a run on my Sunday SOTD!

I rest my case.

No pun intended but I think you've gotta gem there (ok, double pun intended).

So now you'll be giving up the straights before too long ....... slippery slope, but think of all the DEs you'll have to buy ........

Love the knurling on that handle not like the fake pressed stuff you see so much of these days. Have fun with it.

Tom, not ashamed to admit, I love some of my DEs. Particularly the slants, but also Gillette Big Fellow, and the Barbasol. Shave with them occasionally . Kind of like riding a Honda, you might enjoy it, as long as no one knows about it. Originally Posted by sharptonn

Darry's a youngster! It's all Googlefu! Yeah, those slants look likely! Guess I will kick this thing askew a bit, make it slant! Originally Posted by JimmyHAD
