    Well, Mike, I'm afraid that I would be no help to you.

    My last one fell out of the highest shelf in the bathroom and landed in the porcelain throne. That was 4 or 5 years ago. I know that the one I had wasn't waterproof.

    Jim, I've followed in your footsteps this month and just about used all of my DEs once in December. It has been fun getting acquainted with the DEs again as I've put them aside in favor of my injectors, SEs and SRs.

    Interestingly enough, I really like some so much that I wonder why I ever put them aside. I also found some that I might either sell or PIF because they're just not that good.

    The rockets, new long combs, fatboy, 48-49 super speed and 47 aristocrat are keepers! These are awesome razors! The rest, well... some are okay and others might go.

    I also found that my 2 year old Edwin Jagger has chrome peeling off its base plate. I maybe have 50 shaves in it! Hmm.....

    Either way, thanks for kicking off DEcember!

    Very cool. We both like the same Gillettes. Saturday, I will have used all of my Gillettes this month. I will then reuse some of my favorites. I think I will be piffing some razors next year. I don't need three travel techs. I don't need two slims either.

    Saturday's two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Travel Tech T3 w/EJ Ebony handle and a Personna Super blade (24) gave me a close, comfortable shave. I replaced the original Travel Tech handle with an EJ Ebony handle to made the shave more comfortable.

    Christmas shave consisted of two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Aristocrat Jr. with a Personna Super blade.

    Jim, glad your surgery went well, and hope your therapy and recovery are going well. You have a very nice collection of Gillette DE razors, not only in diversity, but they all look great!

    It has been ten days since my surgery, and it has put a major crimp on my lifestyle, but I am improving a bit. Left handed shaving has been a challenge, but I have not missed a day. I just wait and shave in the afternoon.

    The 28th shave with the Personna blade. Still going strong. I am palm stropping after each use. Today's DEcember shave featured my Gillette President.

    28 shaves on the same blade? That's great! What's your record?
