I don't. I was born in 1951, and graduated high school in 1969. If I understand history correctly, the Trac II was the first cartridge razor, and it was produced in 1971. I know I started shaving pretty early, around 12 or so, so I must have used a DE or a SE of some kind. I went in the Navy right after high school, and what I do remember about shaving in boot camp was that there were a few of us with heavy beards who were designated as "morning shavers" while the rest of the company shaved at night. Otherwise, we wouldn't pass inspection. I don't remember what we used, which was issued and was probably a Gillette DE. According to Gillette (who should know) the Mach 3 debuted in 1998, but I could have sworn it came out much earlier than that. I do remember the introduction of the Fusion, and I've always used Gillette products...I never tried Schick or other shaving products, except for electric razors. I did shave for a while with a Norelco (never got good results with it) and then a Braun (which gave me really good shaves as long as I used it every day) in the early part of the 2000s. Now, I only use either a DE or a Trac II.
I wish I had a better memory for these kind of things. My memory is strange...my wife, for example, can remember her elementary school teachers' names, while I certainly can't. I guess my "hard drive" only has so much space available...and older stuff gets deleted. I need an upgrade, both memory and processor! LOL
