I just wanted to introduce myself. I am not "new" to DE shaving. My first shave back in '79 was with a DE Gillette. I now wish I would have taken that from my father at the time. Since then, I have been using the multi-blades and getting inferior shaves and neck rashes. I am tired of the high prices of the multi shavers and am now going back to where I started.
I have just acquired three razors so far, two Gillette Knacks and one '64 Gillette Super Speed. I am awaiting my sample pack of blades to get back into it. Until then I am using my old Atra and practicing lathering up with Proraso and my Tweezerman Badger Brush.
I enjoy the reviews and appreciate the sharing your shaving experiences.
09/13/09,completed two shaves with my 68 Knack, used Gillette (red package) thin blades (still waiting on the sampler pack). A little blood letting on the neck but not a bad shave all in all. The second day was better and only one nick. I am very pleased and can't wait until I can use some better blades.
