Hi all,
I'm a, reluctant to admit, middle aged man in my very early 50's. I have used my two vintage Gillette adjustable de razors for some time (1959 fatboy and 1964 slim). I love the fatboy.
For Christmas just gone I treated myself to a 1930 solingen straight razor which I have fallen in love with. I began with a shavette to see if I could get on with this form of shaving. The shavette is brutal, fortunately the scars are gone now. The solingen is a delight in comparison, though she has given me a couple of playful nibbles, the minx.
I am not yet completing a full shave with her, I go as far as I can before having to call for a paramedic, then finish off with the fatboy, after all it's a skill which needs to be developed.
Next stage honing he
