    I have been collecting vintage double edge razors since 2012. Something my late wife & I did together. Antiquing & thrifting, so much fun finding treasure’s in the wild. Something I miss doing, as it was our thing to do together. These days I mainly stick to eBay. But I’m looking to broaden my horizons. Change is never easy especially when you're as big as an introvert as I am. My first razor was a 1956 Gillette Flare Tip found in a thrift store, next was a 1953 40s SS it snowballed from there.
    Well, enough about my story I want to PIF to the community that has helped me in my journey. I’ll keep it simple…somewhat

    This PIF is for anyone into wet shaving
    You never owned a Gillette Red Tip
    I ask that you do not sell any of the items
    If you don’t like it PIF it on TSD
    Will let it run till sometime on Sunday Feb 26, 2023
    Will use www.random.org
    CONUS only

    The razor 1955 (A4) Gillette Red Tip:
    The bad: Brassing under the head, slight plate loss on handle & a squeak in the TTO.
    The good: It’s a Gillette Red Tip

    Just say: I’m In & post a pic of one of your favorite musical artist.

    I saw 'em in concert at Freedom Hall in Louisville in 1977 or 78. Tom Petty opened for them. I still enjoy listening to their music.
