My Smoothest Double Edge Shave Thus Far

[bwnewton]

Thanks to Badger & Blade, I just experienced my smoothest wet shave with a double edge razor yet. I've only been at it for about a week, but I started transitioning to it about two and half weeks ago.

You can read about it at Bart's Blog.

That's good news! With time, it will be even smoother!

Bart welcome to B&B! You had a great score at that little shop. You must post pics of those razors if you can. Which gillette are you using? And the ivory handled SE is raising alot of eyebrows!!! That ivory handled SE, if you can't post pics, try to describe it. By describing it, we can pull some of the pics from the forum to match it. You may have something very special there.

I'll try to get some pics soon but right now I'm temporarily digital camera free.

I hope I wasn't misleading on the "ivory" issue. It's ivory-colored like this one which means plastic or plastic-like. However, the metal looks like it was a gold-tone but some of the finish has worn to a silver.

The Gillette is a Super Speed, I think.

Thanks for your interest and warm welcome.

You weren't misleading at all. Its just when anyone says SE and ivory handle in the same sentence thoughts go to this pic, courtesy of Ray. Check out this link

Wow! Thanks for the pic & link.

Just this morning I walked into an antique shop and picked up two razors for a total of $7. A Gillette Knack and a 1912 Ever-Ready SE that has very nice chrome.
