Ok I think I fixed the picture in my last post, but the blades are as follows if it still doesn’t show up;
Only been doing this a year. Only nicked myself once. Occasional weepers. I have a goatie, so I dont have to worry about mustache or chin. Good luck and welcome to B&BHaha yes my dad and brother were very skeptical when I mentioned safety razors, telling me I’ll hack my face up, but I am undeterred. So far anyway...
Ok well I got sort of distracted for a while (like, a yearI will keep you all posted on my progress as I clean these up and start using them, as well as any new additions. (you know it’s going to happen
) and I still haven't used any of these razors yet, but wouldn't you know it two more showed up at the antique shop so for another $25 I now have a fat handle Canadian Gold Tech and a Slim Adjustable! Really need to get motivated and order some blades...Both are excellent razors. Personally I like the tech over the slim. GSBs work well with both of them for meOk well I got sort of distracted for a while (like, a year
Yes I think the Tech is my favourite one as well, if only for its looks. We'll see how I feel once I start using these
Ive always used some cheap ones from the local store, I think they're Gillette sensor2's and occasionally some knockoffs. Gets the job done but definitely nothing glamorous haha. I don't usually have to shave much more than once a week.
Ok I was worried they'd be too old to be usable but I'll give them another look, thanks!
If you like the Minoras they still make them. Hmmm not sure if those are out of Russia too so depending on where you live they may be difficult to procure, but they should be fine blades.Ive always used some cheap ones from the local store, I think they're Gillette sensor2's and occasionally some knockoffs.

I don't have a brush or soap yet, the options are a little overwhelming for an indecisive person like me
Alright being indecisive around here wont do it. Here you go...... I picked it for you. If you are in CONUS or Canada that is. Simple RazoRock synthetic with some Proraso Shaving Cream (Blue) and you are good to go for about $23. Now if you get up to $60 you get free shipping just saying, but that is all you need to really get going. You can just rob the kitchen for a bowl as a lathering bowl or you can go straight face lathering. Easy peasey.....Ive always used some cheap ones from the local store, I think they're Gillette sensor2's and occasionally some knockoffs. Gets the job done but definitely nothing glamorous haha.

Thanks, I have now placed an order.
Congrats. Happy shaves ahead of you. We will all look forward to your experience.Thanks, I have now placed an order.
Geez now you're making me self conscious!
Slow and steady wins the race. Don't use pressure and let the razor do the work. Work on technique. Look at the wiki here or watch a few YouTube videos for guidance. Geofatboy has great videos.Geez now you're making me self conscious!
I currently moving and have my other razors and the older blades packed up so I likely won't have anything to report for a few days, but I'll be back later, licking my wounds...
You complete your move and get settled and we will be here waiting waiting waiting for the anticipated shave.....LOL. You take your time get into your new place and we will be looking forward to your first steps into DE shaving.Geez now you're making me self conscious!
