First SE Shave in 25+ Years!

[bigfoot83]

I started shaving with a Schick Injector and used it until after college. Just a few weeks ago, I was down in the basement and came across my Dad's '59 SS, Gem G-bar and Ever-Ready (1912 type) that I'd forgotten he gave to me when he switched to an electric.

Well, I located some Treet blades (made by ASR) locally and just loaded up for my first shave - WTG / XTG / ATG.

WOW! Now that's BBS close! The muscle memory from the Injector came right back with only one small weeper on the middle of my cheek. I've gotten BBS before with my other razors, but I think this will definitely be the razor for those special occasion shaves!

Good for you, and welcome back. I had kind of the same experience, only for me it was 40+ years. I'm glad I found my way back too. Good luck.

That's pretty sweet. I should probably start asking older relatives of mine if they have any shave gear they wouldn't mind giving up. Welcome back sir!

 

[mankini]

It feels good doesn't it?

Glad you are back

I primarily use the Slant and Futur, but boy those GEM's are sweet. I love the sound the razor makes when cutting the whiskers too.

 

[bigfoot83]

Yeah, the sound is completely different from my DE's. The SE is not to be feared, but definitely respected!

That's great... Using a razor that you know where it comes from is the best!

Welcome back 35 years away for me

Oh... IDK.. some razors are best left with unknown origins .

But in general family razors rock.
