Vintage April, 2024

[Guido75]

As our Vintage Leader @never-stop-learning needs his attention elsewhere at the moment - and rightly so I might add - I hope he doesn’t mind me kickstarting this year’s seasonal vintage sessions. And if I was too quick I apologise.

Please join David and me for Vintage April, 2024!

We'll dedicate the entire month of April for vintage razors of all types, DE & SE!

Let's update the definition of 'vintage' to include any DE or SE razor manufactured 1974 or earlier. In other words, any razor 50 or more years old.

Beginning on 4/1, we’ll start posting our vintage DE & SE shaves to this thread. If you would like to do so, please feel free to post your vintage shaves and comments.

Have Fun and Happy Shaves.

And as David is one of our fine moderators, I am sure he can transfer the thread from me to him if necessary. Credit where credit is due.

Go Vintage!!

I’m in as a ‘side effect’ of being in on the adjustable April. Here’s the weapons of choice…

 

[Wgg2017]

I'm in with a 1962 Gillette Slim Adjustable that I'll already be using for Adjustable April.

Nice razor stand by the way @Russ622 - looks solid and accommodating to a broad spectrum of razors that will fit.

 

[Russ622]

@Guido75 thank you. I bought it on Etsy he has different configurations and colors, fast shipping and great prices. I was messaging with him the other day and he’s working on a new design that I am looking forward to seeing.

Here are my two vintage razors. In the front is a T2 (second quarter of 1973) Gillette Black Handle SuperSpeed. This is actually a birth year and birth quarter razor! In the back is a 1967/68 Schick Krona. An underrated razor, in my opinion.

 

[Obetron Rex]

I'm in, I love using vintage razors. Looking forward to seeing everyone's vintage razors!

A picture is worth a 1000 words. About 99% of what's shown is vintage (older than 1974). The cases below the curio on the right have "overflow" razors. I need to get busy PIF'ing.
