Grudge Match: Old Type Thin Versus Old Type Thick
Gillette change the world when it came out with the their original Double edge razor. Gone were the days of stropping and honing and they brought in the age of trouble free shaving.
From 1905 to 1921 Gillette's original deign used a thin cap. In 1921 they changed the design to a thicker cap which continued until 1928.
Did Gillette improve the design or did they get it right the first time?
For the sake of history we want to settle this once and for all. Which is the better razor?
The rules are simple:
2 razors.....1 face....3 shaves
You agree to preform 3 shaves through out the month of April
You agree that during the same shave to shave half of your face with the Old Type Thin and the other half of your face with the Old Type Thick.
You agree to post the results of each shave round.
If you own both of these razors just post below that you are in....If you have what it takes.
Here are some of the Guidelines:
You have to use the same type of blade in each.
Old Type can either handle type. Please state which type you are using.
Try to pick similar types of handle for both razors if you can.
No shimming allowed.
You are locked into the same two razors during the whole 3 rounds
You have to use a Made in the USA razor. No English or Canadian or any other country.
NO CLONES ALLOWED.
Round one will be Old Type Thin on the left and Old Type Thick on the right.
Each round should be judged in the following ways:
SCORE CARD:
Efficiency: Old Type Thin or Old Type Thick
Smoothness: Old Type Thin or Old Type Thick
Ease of the shave (grip, stroke and angle....): Old Type Thin or Old Type Thick
overall experience: Old Type Thin or Old Type Thick
Winner of round (one, two or three): Old Type Thin or Old Type Thick
If you have both of these razors and want to settle this once and for all, post "You're in" below. The Grudge match will begin April 1st and run the whole month of April.
