When I first started shaving, I used my dad’s safety razor (I’m sure it was some model of a Gillette TTO).
I made the fairly common progression from there to cartridges then to a Norelco, and here I am, back to a safety razor.
The one I picked up is apparently older than me (it’s from 1962, I hail from ‘64) but it is adjustable which is more than I can say for myself.
When I first bought it, I was using it the way I did back in the late 70s/early 80s - with canned foam “goo”.
For Christmas, my family upgraded my shave equipment. I now have a cheap boar brush and a sleeve of 100 Feather blades from Amazon, an unscented shave soap from Stirling, and a marble shave bowl by Beau Brummell (not sure how to spell it).
I’m stylin’ and profilin’.
Now, I just need to get me one of those neato nifty Blackland Blackbird razors and I’ll be in like Flint.
