Hello.
Fr. Ted here (you may have bumped into me if you frequent certain old budget car motoring forums).
Bit of a noob, but also a bit of an oldie if that makes sense.
I used to use a Souplex DE which started out life as a raxor we (I) used to use for pubic shaves when working in general surgery at Wythenshawe back in the 80's - my razor was retired from a life of shaving old chaps and suitably autoclaved and then pressed into service shaving my chin (prior to that I had a Gillette G1000).
The NHS now use some quite horrible blue plastic DE things that dont last one pass on your average short and curly shave.
I lost this a couple of years back in a house move and went to using Gillette Mach 3's - which were fine, until I came across another Souplex recently. Which I foolishly lost two weekends back whilst camping (not having a lot of luck with the Souplex here).
I have just bought a Merkur 42 to tide me over, but dont really get on with it so Im going to offer it for trade and try a tech headded razor all being well - however I have also taken the plunge and ordered an Ikon Buldog handled OC headed razor - so watch this space.
Currently using some Gillette 7 O'Clock blades which I rate very highly, though 3 shaves is their limit I think.
I alternate between some Taylors Gentlemans fragrance soap applied with a bristle brush and Sommersets shaving oil.
Anyway, now you know almost as much about me as I do myself.
