Hi I'm Dave.
In the gift exchange for Christmas, my brother in law Mike drew my name. Our price range was $30-$45 and we gave three gift suggestions. Mine were:
1) University of Kentucky fanware
2) Dopp kit with shaving gear (Schick quattro)
3) Air buds
What I got was an Every Man Jack gift set in a dopp kit that included body wash, shampoo, and deodorant and a King C. Gillette razor with 8 5-packs of blades from different companies.
Not what I asked for, but thanks Mike.
Although this is a perfect gift for Mike because he's way in to old school shaving. He even turned the half bath into his "shave den" and has a towel warmer and a floor to ceiling cabinet with old school razors including a straight razor, brushes, mugs, shave pucks in more scents than a Yankee Candle shop, and oh my God, at least thirty splash on aftershaves. He was way more excited to than I was to get it.
After they left, Dad told me I was going to slice my face like a loaf of Wonder bread.
But this morning I was going to do it. I was going to use that razor. I checked out a you tube video on it, because I couldn't even figure out how to put the blades in. I applied the Edge Shave Gel and I looked at the razor and psyched myself up a bit, and then I put it back in the box and in the drawer.
I shave every morning before work. I wet my face with hot water and use Edge Shave Gel. I shave with my Schick Quattro titanium blades, and a I use a little bit of Nivea Hydrating Balm.
I have seen other videos where you're supposed to shave three times to get the job done. I shave one time and the job is done. I even saw one that was called "Shave Like Your Grandfather Did." There's a reason most guys use modern razors. I guess there's a reason some guys use old school razors.
But I do want to shave with the thing until the blades are gone. But I'm afraid of cutting myself. The Gillette King razor review and demo was hosted by a guy who talked about how often he cuts his neck.
I have cut myself shaving before, but not since I was a newbie shaver.
So ... I willing to learn.
But I'm not willing to buy a bunch of gear. No towel warmers. No brushes. No mugs, no shaving cream pucks.
