What was the first razor you purchased? When?

I really can't remember...I'm pretty sure it was an electric though....

 

My Dad was on the design team for the first Philishave razor, in Holland, so in my house, electric was in. I did not even try a wet shave until a very brief, painful experience with a Gillette Techmatic in 1973. (Everyone thought I had some terrible acne, due to the nicks I got over a few days). I then grew a large beard, until about 1997. I gravitated to the multi blade cart thing until November 2014, when I decided that there was a better way. I was suggested to purchase the Lord L6, as I was not too flush with money, and had no idea that there were a few stores in Edmonton that actually sold DE razors. I could not wait for the Lord to come in, so I found a Schick Krona in an antique store..... and the rest is history.... all 6 months of it.

 

My first razor that I bought was a Sensoe Excel in '91. My first Straight was a Dovo Carbon Steel 5/8 razor about 3 years ago. My first DE was an Edwin Jagger DE89 about 2 months ago.

I know, the order is all out of whack. But I got the straight as a curio piece and ended up liking it. I got into DE's after I went cartridge shopping for my Fusion and was disgusted by the prices.

 

I thought this was a first satfety razor thread. In that case I have no idea, maybe Mach 3 but I am not certain.

 

I first bought a Trac II, I have to guess. somewhere around 79/80.
shortly after,I got a brass razor and brush. I've still got the razor and brush, the stand went away.

 

A Schick Injector, probably an I since that was the one on the market at the time. Bought it about 1956 or 1957 when I started shaving.

 

My first real razor was a Edwin jagger de89.


Of course i had carts before that.

 

My first double edge razor was an Edwin Jager DE89 purchased 1 year ago this week.
