After a few weeks of holding back, I gave in to my newbie urge to acquire a few razors - quickly. Some of my specific considerations leaned towards - vintage razors, razors that I can use now as a novice, and due to a lack of time to hunt locally...I needed to acquire online. I think I accomplished all of the above and am satisfied, to where I can let go of purchasing online for future purchases and take my time poking around at flea markets and such when the situation presents itself.
Here they are:

Bottom - Schick Golden 500 - this actually came last week and I've been using it already. I purchased it with the idea that I wanted a more narrow head to trim more precisely around my mustache and goatee. In the first few uses it has done exactly that. Actually, I like it so much that I'll probably even use it to learn full-face injector shaving. Disappointed that the cleaning lever does not work, but I understand that it is not critical for normal use. I probably could have gone with a different injector razor but this one was nice and clean and came in its original box.
Two Birthyear razors (1955)
- Gillette Silver Flair-tip Superspeed.
- Gillette Tech Ball Tip
The SS is in mint condition and the Ball Tip is almost as nice. I haven't used either yet. Will probably use the Ball Tip today.
I'm using my fourth razor - Gillette Gold Tech fat handle, everyday since I received it a week or so ago. Since I'm more used to it, the others won't be used for awhile as I begin a June 30-day rule using the Gold Tech.
Now I understand the AD condition I *read* so much about on the Den!
Cheers!
