Modern May 2024

[Texchappy]

That time again…

For the month of May, who wants to challenge themselves to use there most Modern razors?

After vintage April, my poor new razors are feeling neglected. So how about dedicating May to those shiny new razors? I had two ideas to what modern is. Maybe it’s where Vintage April left off, ~1974 on? Or possibly it’s 21st century razors? I think I’ll just leave it up to y’all.

I'm in for this. I've been using my vintage Gillette's for so long it will be good to get reacquainted with my modern razors!

Great idea, especially after Vintage April. Unfortunately I don't have any modern razors but I'll follow the thread to see what cool stuff y'all have!

 

[awk_m4]

Well this one should be easy for me because I've been using Henson razors for almost three years. Count me in!

I was wondering if there was going to be a Modern May. Thanks for starting it up. I'm in for as many as I can, but not modern every day. Fatboy Fridays are out.

I don't have any modern razors

If you have access to a 3-D printer, you can go to thingverse and print off something designed by @SlimGem or @twhite that uses GEM, Injector, or DE blades. It’s what George Jetson would do if he misplaced his Micromatic.

I missed out on Antique and Adjustable April. And like a Parisian listening to the sounds of my wife and her lover in the next room, I am the sad, sad Clown of Love.

I had to do a mental calculation of my "moderns" and I discovered I can indeed sustain a month of that restriction. Perhaps this will pave the way towards more restrained behavior?
