Just thouht I'd take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Jeff. I've been using a brush and mug for years and just got my first DE razor today: a Gilette Super Speed (pre-1951) that used to belong to my grandfather. I'll use it for the first time tomorrow and I'll post the results.
Hi Jeff and welcome to the Shave Den! SuperSpeeds are great razor and having belonged to your grandfather adds to the value
Welcome aboard, Jeff!! I've used a SuperSpeed and agree that it's a great DE razor. Having the family connection is a great plus. I look forward to reading your thoughts about it after your shave.
Thanks everyone for the welcome! I think I'm getting the hang of this. I had a real good shave yesterday and a BBS shave today! Wow, DE is making a huge difference.:happy108
Welcome! Ah! A 40's style! That's my primary razor (1951 W-1), but recently I have been rotating through a recent haul. It is so cool to use a 72 year old open combed New.
