Hi from SE Missouri

[Ironw]

Hey everyone. I started wet shaving with a de razor a few years ago, but stopped and went back to a cheap multi blade razor after several months. Last winter I grew a beard and recently shaved it off and got back into wet shaving. I had forgotten how satisfying the classic shaving experience is.

The wife thinks I'm nuts as I'm getting back into this. I've bought a couple new shave soaps and a vintage Gillette razor (a 1917 Old Type).

I look forward to learning more here!

Welcome Ironw,

Our better halves already think we're nuts anyway lol.

You've gotten great razors, old types are awesome so are new types.

Cheers n happy shaves,

Greetings from STL, MO. That 1917 Old Type can be a bit of a challenge if you didn't already know that from experience. If you are searching for an inexpensive closed comb razor to add to the mix, you might try a Gillette pre-war fat handled Tech. They are easy to find on Ebay, are inexpensive and are a great daily shaver. I have a couple of Gillette Old Types, but they really require close attention to detail, which is why I also have the Tech razor.

Just a thought and welcome!

Yeah I learned quick that the Old Type requires a good deal of attention. It sure does give a great shave though! It's ironic you should suggest a pre war, fat handle tech since I just had one arrive today. Too bad I don't need a shave until tomorrow but I guess I have something extra to look forward to now.
