Hello from the humid and hot state of Georgia. I’m new to this forum, but have been wet shaving for several years. I’ve acquired plenty of DE, SE, and straight razors and have used everything I’ve ever purchased (modern and vintage). My current daily drivers are a Gillette Slim that used to belong to my father in law and an Above the Tie Calypso (aluminum version of the SE1).
Hello and welcome, love my calypso I have the R1, and the mild plates. The R1 may be the perfect razor in my opinion. The weight defies everything I thought about razors and weight. It feels almost plastic (aluminum alloy), but delivers a heavy weight shave.
Welcome to the Den, from the hot and humid state of Alabama! I was born in Georgia, but raised near the state line in Alabama.
