Having deserted Cartridge Shaving, I got back to DE Shaving in late 2013. I decided
after an unwise choice of TTO, to go for Modern Adjustable [ unaware of Vintage Stuff].
Discovering a forum [not this one ],i went down the Blade Acquistion trail.trying
various one`s out. Then I discovered this Forum, and then only purchased those rated highly
by NTS. So Have quite a collection, bearing in mind my age.
Like many I explored the various areas of the forum , and was intrigued by the SE
area, and the pictures of them on SOTD. So Late Sept 2014, not really knowing what
i was doing, purchased a Streamline/ Shovel Head ! [ yes, it was actually a !912 ]. Paid
too much as well, enjoyed initial shave so got a Featherweight too. Had the occasional
shave, but in the main stuck with DE razors. Then after a bit more reading, decided to
go a bit mad, and brought a Streamline. Wow, Very nice too. I was hooked.
Now a few months down the line, have all sorts of ER/ Gem`s. Thanks to Dick
just tried the MMOC,why was i worried ? I had shaved with a 1924.
Decision Time- SE or DE ?
I think I will stick with SE, keeping my DE`s, Only 3 of Value, and use them occasionally.
Will have to work out what to do with surplus blades, keeping real good one`s,
in case I decide to return to DE shaving.
