Hey everyone, just started using a DE razor about a month ago.
I was using a schick hydro 3 and was in need of some new blades. Not wanting to spend a ridiculous amount on the new blades I started looking for alternatives and came across DE razors and needless to say, I have not looked back. I was fortunate enough to score two razors; a gillette gold tech that belonged to my grandfather and a gillette new improved that belonged to my great grandfather. Its pretty cool the be using a razor that is almost 100 years old. I have found the new improved give a better shave than the gold tech, but i'm still playing around with different blades.
Shaving has gone from something i had to do 2 or 3 times a week to something I now want to do everyday (although I cant because my beard doesnt grow that fast). I'm excited to delve deeper into this new found hobby and it is great to have a forum to go to that has such a wealth of knowledge.
