Greetings fellow wet shavers,
I have been wet shaving for more years than I would like to admit. First started with a Schick injector, then moved on to the multi-blade monstrosities of present day. A few years ago, I had a renaissance period of using my grandfather's Gillette 1954 Super Speed Red Tip. From that experience, I enjoyed years of great shaves and no infected hairs. Last year I fell in love with the single edge razors of the past. Gem, Ever-Ready, Star, and etc. have been my go to razors.
Of late, I have been looking at the straight edge as my next mania (queue the Mr. Toad reference). I purchased a shave ready Wadsworth Razor Co. XLNT. However, I have no clue other than watching videos on maintaining a straight edge. So I shelved the idea until this past week, where I purchased a Feather AC folding razor. I shaved with it last night and the new mania begins.
