My exploding razor knows secrets
I was not interested in looking for a birth year razor at first, after all, the time when I was born ink cartridges became the mainstream, and the number of DEs still being produced was very limited.
And I live in Asia. Between World War I and the Vietnam War when vintage DE prevailed, many countries in Asia were in war and poverty, and there were few high-quality items related to wet shaving.
Unexpectedly, I encountered it during a walk on the weekend.
It's a double miracle:
●Miracle 1── I saw a brand new unused Gillette Black Beauty in a cardboard box at the corner of the roadside stand. Even the box was shiny new, and the five blades included were still there.
●Miracle 2── I checked the date code when I got home, and found that it happened to be my birth year razor.
At the beginning, I planned to save money "avoid buying razors" and throw it back into the cardboard box. It was my beautiful bride who kept instigated + the razor was perfectly preserved + I found out that the boss didn't know anything + only 15 dollars... I decided to bring this brings Black Beauty home. (When buying also consider reselling. On the way home, I also joked with my wife, "I hope the razor doesn't happen to be my year of birth".)
The third hidden miracle──The year when Black Beauty changed to a nylon lower base plate happened to be my wife’s birth year.
Maybe I've spent enough much money on razors, and the shaving gods decided to give me a little reward, although this reward still has to be purchased with my own money.
