Checking in to say hello and give a short intro. I've been a brush and soap shaver for years but I fell away from my trusty Shick injector about 30 years ago. I guess I fell for the multi-blade cartridge hype. Anyway, I ran across a wetshaving discussion on another forum community I belong to (shout out to the other FL members who are here). The guys were talking about using their vintage Gillettes and Schicks and a lightbulb went off over my head. A vintage one, not one of those curly types.
Think of all the money I could save by not paying the gouge rate for the latest Buck Rogers "shaving system" paraphenalia! Think of the points I'd score with my granddaughter and my SO by ditching those environmentally irresponsible plastic cartridges! Think of all the neat old stuff I can go out and buy with that money!
I have a feeling the money I'm going to save is going to go right into the pockets of various ebay vendors, but that's way more fun than handing it over for cartridges.
Anyway, just wanted to say Hi. I have a Gillette SS X4 coming and a Schick G8 too. I hope that learning curve isn't too steep...
