What's new

OCtober 2014

I'll get in on this too, sounds like fun! (I decided not to do RazoRocktober because I already used RazoRock soaps almost exclusively all summer. Time to change things up.)
I currently have three OCs: two FaTips (Piccolo and Retro Grande) and the Ikon Deluxe OC. Maybe this is the excuse I need to add something else to the rotation...
 
I will participate as well. I week be using the following ;
1 Razorock Jaws Hammer
2 Walter Rosenberg - New LC
3 Uncle Bob - New LC
4 Ever Ready 1912
5 Gem MMOC
6 Gillette Old Type
7 Gillette Goodwill
A different razor for each day of the week. Photos to follow when I get home.
 
I'm still a newb, and don't yet have an OC, but you can bet I'm gonna get one in time for October! And if She complains at yet another razor purchase - I can just blame you guys!
 
I have two OC razors so I'm IN. They are a New LC and what I think is a Old Type copy, it could be a Gillette but not sure. The Old Type is in terrible condition but paired with a Feather it gives very close irritation free shaves.

I'll try and post pictures sometime.
 
Count me in.

Gillette New Short Comb
 
Count me in, I have ordered a Cadet Open Comb and will hopefully get it before the start of OCtober. But if all else fails I have my Gillette Canadian New, though it is a bit too lightweight for my tastes which is why I decided to purchase the Cadet.
 
We are up to 31.

Add me to the roster. I'm new at this DE stuff, bought a couple of OCs I haven't used yet, so what better time to get started.
 
I'm in! I only have one OC razor, and that is my FaTip Grande in nickel. I only use Personna Lab blades in it, but what the heck! I'll rotate through blades and see if I can work on perfecting my technique. I'll likely start with the Personna Lab since I haven't used it since last it came up in rotation, and still have a few to cycle through.

For those of you that own a 1937 Gillette Sheraton, I'm truly envious. My father was born in 1937, and I've tried several times to get one. I'm either sniped, or it's in such bad shape, it's not worth it. I'm really hoping that one day I'll find one in great shape, and I'll finally have that razor that rounds out my collection.
 
I am interested in getting in on this as well. I have many OC's but have not used some of them yet. Looks like this will be the perfect time.
