Welcome Tommy,

Put a blade in that razor and start cutting! If you get past the first week, it's all smooth sailing afterwards.

Hi Tommy aka @Meatballfunk and welcome to B&B!

First, please read this really great intro on how to shave with the DE by a really fine member. Many of us read this advice & guidance first

The Wanderer's Guide To DE Shaving - https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/the-wanderers-guide-to-de-shaving.532194/

Check it out, and if you have any questions, just ask!

Welcome Tommy!🫶
Ah yes, the King C. Gillette is a really nice razor to start with. Just be careful because it has some blade aligment issus. I suggest always checking after inserting the blade, not only with King but any razor.

Welcome, Tommy!

Everything you should need to get started is contained in the guide that @Alum Ladd linked above.

Beyond that my only advice would be to make liberal use of the search function up top and check back in with any issues you may have.

No such thing as a dumb question when it comes to dragging steel across your face!

I've never experienced blade alignment issues with the KCG.

YMMV.
