Hello, I decided to write my story about how I got on the path of classic shaving. I have very sparse stubble and sensitive skin, for this reason I always got irritation from the cartridge razor, the electric razor left a black and red face. I even thought about removing facial stubble with a laser, but my father advised me to pay attention to DE razor. My first razor was the RazoRock DE1, followed by Feather Popular, Edwin Jagger DE89 and Muhle R41. But they are large enough for my face and my hand. Also, modern razors are heavy enough for me to cause razor burn. However, I was intrigued as the DE razor has 1 blade and is not as traumatic to the skin as a 3-5 blade cassette. In general, I accidentally saw a vintage Gillette Old Type for sale in the city of Kyiv at a price of $ 8 and bought it for the sake of interest. Since then, I have been collecting vintage razors. They are lightweight, small, have enough aggression not to make many passes and have a low weight that does not cause razor burn.
P.S. My English is not good enough, so I picked up some words in a translator from Google.
In the photo is my very first Old Type.
