A friend of mine moved and found her Dad’s old razor when she was packing. She knew of my addiction and joined the ranks of much appreciated enablers and gifted it to me. It’s a wonderful Valet VC3. I’d never used one and always thought they looked a little funky. After some research to find current blades that fit I got it ready and gave it a whirl. Wow, this is a fantastic razor. Super close, super smooth, and super easy.
