I was at my Grandfather's yesterday and we were playing chess, he asked me about shaving with his Gillette Slim Adjustable(1964) and how the shaves were...and (wait for it) why in the name of hell was i shaving with a DE.?
(My grandfather no longer shaves and has a beard, which is why he gave me The Gillette Slim Adjustable)
I told him that the shaves were great and i really enjoyed shaving traditionally.
Making my move, i asked him about his shaving routine, his setup, his gear, etc etc. As it turns out my grandfather really enjoyed shaving.He told my about some english shaving soap he used to shave with (he didn't remember the name), he used a shaving brush and bought the slim adjustable that i now have in the late 60s or the early 70s. Gave me a couple of tips on shaving, cold water shaving being one of them.
Taking my bishop he asked me about the creams, AS, etc i use. I told him about my shave setup and my gear.
I even told him about B&B and he was surprised to hear that a lot of people still use DEs and that the art of traditional shaving has not been lost.
