What razor/blade did you use today

8/10: Lord Racer, Lord Plat, Dove soap, VDH boar, Old Spice. Wonderful cool-water shave with a great budget razor. BBS of course. Next shave: 1919 Gillette Old Type

Today was a vintage day again, Sunday always is but usually on Monday I want an easy “no brain involved“ tool.

But....today I reached for the black handled 1973 Super Speed. Not sure why but I just follow my gut on such things.

I LOVE the audible feedback that older TTOs provide. The sound of the blade working seems to be magnified by the hollow head and transports me to a place where a piece of sharp steel and myself are doing this dance I can feel and hear.

Goofy? Maybe but I didn’t get into DE shaving for it to be a soulless chore. 😇
