Shaving implements of yore

Is anyone else here a fan/user of the more eclectic forms of shaving (i.e. Straight razors, double edged safety razors)?

 

I know of at least 2 gentlemen here who are your brothers in arms... razors...
Hopefully, they'll be along.
Hola, and welcome to the Forums, Jesse.

Edit - I just messaged them.

 

Thanks GG

 

Welcome!

 

I have a beard.....so ...no !
but I like blades of all manner.....but only quality steel !

 

I have used a straight razor every day for the past five years.

 

So did my old barber........

 

In all the time I've been doing this, I've only had 3 razors.

Madras




Gillette




Schick

 

My current straight razor. Made in Germany. Full hollow-grind. Ivory scales. From about 1880.

 

I have sold all types of shaving gear except safety razors which I consider too new-fangled, but have no use for them myself.

 

Shaving is for girls

 

Haha, shaving is for all

 

This one ends in seven hours. I couldn't find another the same online.

Brand new fakes of this brand from Japan are regularly selling for $300+. Apparently the collectors are more interested in shiny.

 

Those are some beautiful utensils you got there boss. I am a fan of the vintage gilettes as well. I have gotten several new brand de razors and they just aren't the same. Either the angle is weird, or they aren't very ergonomic. I have that same schick, but I need to clean it up and buy some razors for it (there aren't any stores that sell injector razors around me). I really like that you have those great looking cases for them too, you don't see that a lot with the vintage implements.

 

Like these?

 

Yeah like those. I know they carry them on Amazon and the bay, but I'm trying to hold out until I'm ready to make my yearly blade purchase (I usually get the 100 pack of personna medical preps)

 

Show off !

Oh...wait....that's what we're supposed to do !!!

Sorry Terry.....please continue !!

 

The girls are under-represented here, indeed, Jesse.
Well!
I don't mind being a trail-blazer.
I use a Ladies' Panasonic Cordless Wet/Dry... I picked the hot pink color.
Eat your hearts out, gentlemen.

 

I got my wife a woman's merkur in pink and she loves it!

 

See? Girls have a place in this discussion! Thank you, Mr. L.

But... your wife is braver than I am. That thing looks scary! I'll keep my electric!
