I graduated from HS in 1971........... all my shaves are vintage.... but respectfully, I only have one razor that would qualify unless we can really count the Progress... though mine was a Christmas gift from our youngest son last year. I gave him a Progress XL..and he gave me the standard one. I do have my birth year razor... so I know that one qualifies... but I'll have to quietly bow out... we'll be in Bali for most of April... and most of May as well.

No worries, my friend. If you do shave with your birth year razor in April, please post it to this thread. I'm very okay with occasional vintage shaves. :)

With about 45 razors in my "accumulation," (not a "collection," per se,) less than a handful are newer than 50 years old. This should be easy to do, harder to decide which one to use. ;)

I know which razor I will be using starting in April. I am even not shaving a day till April 1 to being. I do like this honestly I have a few vintages to use plus some I haven't used yet, like EFB Tech, NDC Tech (looks quite nice like the one above) so it will be fun.

I think I’m going to start tomorrow with my 1967 Slim. I am participating in the vintage Polsilver blade challenge, and someone pointed out that using a TTO makes flipping blades in and out for a cheek to cheek test very easy. Or maybe I’ll use a Ranger Tech. Or the 1947 Super Speed I had replated by BRG and haven’t used since I got it back. Too many decisions!
 
I would love to join you guys in this group, but unfortunately the only vintage thing I own is my face…

I too am old but hunt is for a Gillette Slim like I got as present from my Uncle Sam on 06/30/1965.

Every weekend I hit a garage or estate sale or two looking for a Slim someone one is selling.

No luck today, want to restore & use. Might try Saturday am.

Gillette Slim is one of my dreams of consumption, in addition to Fatboy 58 the year I was born. I will try your great tip and look for it.
I thank you very much dear friend.
