Hi all,
Just joined the forum, to be honest I didn't really know there was a UK forum and have been lurking on Badger and Blade for a while now. I found this place whilst fantasy-googling vintage Gillette DE razors, heh
I bought an Edwin Jagger DE89, Derby blades, some soap and a really crap shaving brush a while back off Amazon after reading about the fact that DE razor shaving could help to reduce skin irritation and ingrown hairs.
Since then I have been happily sawing away at my face and have seen a massive improvement in my skin and to my surprise a shave as close as anything I have had from any number of fancy pants disposables.
Plus, if I'm honest, I secretly feel slightly superior to all other men using 'ordinary' shaving stuff who aren't 'in the know', hehe
I travel a lot and work out of the country so want to buy a second DE razor and bits and have been kidding myself that I will find a bargain DE razor on ebay - in actual fact the decent ones seem very expensive. This DE razor thing is really taking off!
I guess my fantasy razor would be a 1966 British Gillette butterfly type DE razor (if such a thing even exists) - 1966 is my year of birth.
TL ; DR : Nice to join, and Hi!
