Perhaps the Perfect Vacation DE

[Twelvefret]

So, been using two Bakelite (vintage design) DE for the beach this week with wonderful results.

Soap the a gifted Arko stick and a 1305 Semogue
Boar.

Anyway, excellent, near perfect results and no concern about salt air with razors

I've got a small Bakelite DE (vintage) -- and I do like my Arko stick. I need to try and locate that DE. This week (except for Micromatic Monday) has been daily shaves with my Schick Krona. I like it, it's a good razor. It feels ultra-mild relative to the Lather Catchers, GEMs and other SE razors; but it consistently got the job done in 3 passes and a super-light touch-up.

Love the Krona.

Love the Krona.

I was reading your posts about it from last year and figured that out -- as usual, we are on the same page, I am a fan as well. Picked it up a while back, and really glad I did!

I will say that the Bakelite slants deliver and should be In everyone’s shave den or collection. At $19, they are the best kept secret

Are they Gillette Bakelite Tech’s @Twelvefret?

Sometimes, ‘Less is more!’ (Less weight, less muss and fuss, fewer options, etc.)

These are vintage reproductions of almost impossible to find razors.

So, I have a great selection of vintage DE and SE razors that I use routinely on the Daily Double.
