Good News! I finally broke down this morning and shaved for the first time the 1966 L2 gillette superspeed my uncle gave me and a derby 'extra' blade, in addition to my usual bigelow cream and boar brush. after multiple passes my face looked good. although i did catch myself doing the jawline going left to right it didn't bleed bad. I did use what was left of a mach 3 disposable for the last pass only because i couldn't tell if the neck was good or not because of the poor lighting in my bathroom.
