I've been busily hunting my birth year razor (Apr '61) and was just about to pull the trigger on one when a thought came to me. A few years ago I had to say goodbye to my Dad, he had lost his fight with cancer. My Dad was my best friend... he was a man's man. Strong hands and a tender heart. When I had no one I could turn to I could turn to my Dad. Watching him grow weak and finally lose his battle with cancer was the hardest thing I have ever done. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him or wish I could call him. It does give me hope that we were both Christians and I believe I will see him again one day.... ANYWAY, I thought that if I'm going to invest a bit of money into this hobby I think I would rather have a nice Gillette from my Dad's birth year instead of mine. It would do my heart good to shave with a razor from the year he was born, kind of like we are together again... is that weird? I mean I know no material thing is going to be the same as us being together, but maybe in my mind it would bring some joy. Anyway, what do you guys think?
