    Nice group so far. Now that you're looking at vintage you've really started down the rabbit hole! They're is no cure...resistance is futile.

    Impressive collection. However, it needs a nice Gillette Super Speed.

    Off to a good start! The vintage path can definitely fuel the RAD! An adjustable would be an excellent addition to the den! (Not trying to be an enabler, I promise!)

    A fine collection. You will need to pick up a pair of sunglasses so you can stare at all that shine...might damage your eyes. ;) And yes...no point in resisting...just fall down the rabbit hole...

    I will soon be looking for a birth year black beauty also 1977. I mentioned in other threads that I have a trip to Europe in April with the military and I'll be hunting for some gems out there :happy036:

    Now go out and get yourself an SE injector razor (Schick, Pal). Whole new rabbit hole, well worth exploring.

    I am trying the all little by little but so far I can say that the Maggard MR5 and the Merkur 38C are in the lead. I just tried the Gillette super speed and I really liked it, I have to give it a few more shaves to see if the Gillette will take the lead. Lol[/quote]

    My Muhle is my only new razor...only because I was given a $100 AOS gift card and wanted a non consumable present. It looks nice, even used it a few times, but I prefer any of my vintage gillette's over it.

    I've said it before. Coming to The Shave Den reduce RAD is like like jumping in the ocean to reduce moisture.
