The razor he is showing you is a vintage gillette starburst in blue. There were 3 colors and the razors were marketed for women. The colors are pink, gold and blue. The long handle made it ideal for women to shave their legs. A lot of razors have been developed for women some were very short handled and were meant shave the armpits. I believe Parker makes a few razors based on the Gillette starburst and they come in a variety of colors.

 

Oh, wow. That's really cool. Vintage razors often have so much style. Vintage anything really, haha! I'm going to be on the hunt for that razor. You are right! I remember seeing those on Parker. Wish they had the cute little stars on them...

 

Hi. Nice to meet you. Good bunch of people here. Im new ish but I like it

 

Focus on what you have currently. Once you learn how to use it and are confident, then you should move on to another. It's just shaving but it's a different way of shaving. It requires a different approach to it. Cartridge / disposable razors were almost error free. A DE razor and blade will and can cut very easily.

 

Just found several of them on eBay. I know what I'm asking Santa for Christmas this year!

 

If you havent seen it riding the cap is a common term around here. When I used a cart I would literally scrape the hair off my face, the approach is quite different with a DE. Little to no pressure and a different angle then what you are used to. When I started I had the blade way too steep and was being more aggressive then I needed to be.
Place the cap on what you intend to shave and rotate until the blade makes contact and you found a good starting point.

Great advice. Really helps you to get to grips with your new razor

 

Greetings from Denmark...nice to have you here.

 

Hi there!

 

These guys pointed me to a thread called 30 day rule, which suggests you should stick to all the same kit for 30 days at first to learn technique. It's worked great for me but I just gave that up last week to try some new razors - I got greedy and bought a few. If you're only getting the one it may not apply as much to you

 

Thank you for the tip!

 

It's easy to go wild with all these lovely products and razors! They're beautiful!

Absolutely. Don't get into the habit of checking "just to see what's on ebay". They're all so different yet most will work exceptionally well. It's hard not to consider just one more.
