I had the pleasure of my first vintage shave this morning, and I can guarantee that it won't be my last! After picking up a half dozen vintage razors over the last few weekends I finally got them cleaned up on Sunday and decided to try a Flare Tip Super Speed for this morning's shave. Talk about a nice shaving razor! Nice and mild but very effective. One of the three best shaves I've had since I got into DE! The size of the handle compared to the iKon Bulldog handle that I've been using took some getting used to, but other than that, it was great!

I gotta try this stuff myself one day
I prefer my '59 Fatboy and '62 Slim to my EJ and Merkur. They all deliver great shaves. The retro Gillettes got the best vibe.

I've got a '59 Fatboy and a '63 Slim sitting in my cabinet waiting to be tried, those will probably be next.
+1 on the FB. Once I started using my '60 Fatboy that was it. In terms of DE razors. Next step is straights.

I'll definitely keep my iKon OSS, but once I hit 45 days on B&B my EJ DE89 and Muhle R41 are going up on B/S/T, now that I've gotten into vintage, they won't see any use.
+1 I have left all "new" razors for vintages and love my Slim (or both of them... 
) more than the other vintages in my collection, including my FB

32 Gillette New is my favorite DE.
