Rant: Just can't get a good shave with vintage Gillettes...

Bottom line is if your one of the group that don’t get desired results from Vintage Gillette.

Find something you like, that works, and repot back via NEW POST.

These two statements are a little contradictory.

Either these razors are extremely easy to use, or there’s a code to crack. Can’t be both.

I think the problem is chasing BBS. I am sure millions of people were happy with just getting a socially acceptable shave. It’s when I am trying to get a BBS quality shave that I have issues.

You can read lots of posts here from people who do get BBS shaves with these razors. So, that means it is possible to get that result with these razors.

Unfortunately, you are not getting the BBS results you want, even though many others have. Meaning, it is probably not some limitation in the razors themselves, and you might be able to get similar results, also.

That doesn't seem contradictory.
