Hello to all. My name is Craig and I live in Musselburgh, Scotland. I've been real shaving and collecting razors for around a year now and I'm loving every second. Here's a list of what I've amast over the last year. Gillette SuperSpeed 1951 Gillette Flare Tip 1954-1966 Gillette Ball Handled Tech 1950’s Gillette Old George Ibberson 1920’s Ever Ready 1912 Ever Ready 1912 Peerless Ever Ready 1914 Ever Ready 1924 Shovel Head Schick E2 1937 Schick Krona 1967 Mhüle R41 Yaqi Standard Limited Edition Bambaw Eco Razor It'd be great to hear anyone elses experiences of these razors.
Welcome to TSD @Craig Pryde-Ritchie At one time or another I have owned and shaved with all of the Gillettes you mention, as well as a 2011 R41. The Gillettes range from fairly aggressive (Old Type) to very mild ('56 Flair) The R41 is my most aggressive DE razor. Now I shave with straights, so an open blade is what I am used to.
Hi, Craig! Welcome to TSD Up until 6 months ago, I successfully avoided vintage razors. That changed when I first laid eyes on the ER 1912--beautiful razor and great shaver. I've since been given a Flare Tip that has rapidly become my favorite razor. Love that FT
Hello, Craig! Welcome to The Shave Den. As someone who does not have enough straight razors, I think you need a few more DEs. Other than that you seem to be doing fine.
