A few more razors I picked up from various venues. My first Durham Duplex that I wasn't really shopping for but it came in a grab bag. It hasn't had a bath yet but it looks like it should clean up all right. The other three are a $6 Slim, a BlueTip, and a $8 Fat Handle (late). Not sure what the BlueTip cost since it came with some other items including some vintage blades and such. Besides the Durham, the other three have had their first cleanings and they're all decent user grade. I had another BlueTip I bought a while back but after cleaning it up I discovered some nasty corrosion at the top of the handle so it went into the razor graveyard drawer. This one shined up a lot better and I've already shaved with it twice in the past few days. I had always held off from buying one since it's supposed to be Mr. Mild but so far it seems to shave not much different than a regular SuperSpeed.
Of all the razors I've come across over the years, I think the Slim is what I've found the most often. Gillette must have sold a couple ton of those over the years.
I picked one up in a lot purchase last month, and I came to the same conclusion; it's only slightly milder than a regular flare tip. In fact, it's rapidly becoming one of my favorite shavers. Something to do with the light handle, heavy head combo makes it an outstanding razor, balance wise.
Butterface Barbershop Quartet Tallow Shaving Soap and a I4 Gillette Slim (My Birth Year and Quarter). You will see them on tomorrow's SOTD below. http://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/sos-july-20-2015-july-26-2015.46076/page-4#post-862933
I could drink mojitos and daiquiris (the real ones, not the frozen banana things) everyday. Sit on the porch and contemplate Papa Hemmigway.
