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!
"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.
