Awesome site, can't wait to absorb your knowledge. I've been reading up on saftey razors for several weeks and took the plunge today by ordering my first. I'm headed over to the ladies thread for advice on blades. I'm excited to get started and I'd like to be able to cover my mistakes with jeans before shorts season starts! Wish me luck!
Welcome Eva! You likely will find more information than you can wrap your head around. I just purchased a Lady Gillette starburst patterned razor in blue for my wife. She likes it.
Glad that you landed here at TSD. Join us on The Shave of the Day thread. It is fun, and you will see all kinds of products. And please Mark YOUR location on the TSD map - instructions here.
I looked at those... They are so pretty but I got nervous about purchasing vintage over the Internet bc I was worried about rust... Maybe I'll find one in person some day.
Make sure whatever you're interested in has really good pictures. If there is a better picture that you'd like to see, ask the seller. Most good sellers would be more than happy to show you whatever you'd like to see. Even if by the off chance that you get something that was misrepresented, if you paid via PayPal then you have buyer's protection via PayPal. Just find something with a good description and good pictures and you'll be ok .
A warm welcome to you from North Texas. You might want to take a look at some of the references contained in my signature line below for discussions of the 30 Day systems and more on hardware. With that being said ... Welcome to the Den. We know you'll fit right in. So grab yourself a comfy chair, and give our threads a spin! Burma Shave
