About turtle

Mick (turtle) former Steward in the Cafe and Shaving Soap forum.

I came to B&B in 2011 looking for a recommendation for a recommended replacement DE blade as I had run out of the stash of Gillette Spoilers I had amassed a couple decades prior.

I've been wet shaving since the mid 1960's and for all of the time up until finding and joining in here at B&B I shaved with the same razor, brush, and shaving mug for over 40 years. I came to B&B looking for a recommendation for blades as I had run out of the ones I stockpiled years earlier and found that Gillette no longer made the Spoiler blades. Since joining B&B I have expanded my horizons far beyond my old Gillette Super Adjustable razor and have shaved with just about every DE, SE, and Injector razor ever made.
