[croapDFS]

I was electric shaving with Philips for years, then found some wet shaving gear in the thrift store a Gillette TTO w/ super stainless blades, badger brush made in Germany. I already had some Yardley Original Shaving Soap in a maple or beech Bowl from 25 years ago. This combo gives me the closest shave I have ever had. Now I'm hooked!

Where do you find your vintage shaving gear? if it is not a secret.
I go to thrift stores, and antique malls so far.

I found a thing or two on Kijiji over the years, but that's about it. For the majority of my purchases, I look at our BST (Buy-Sell-Trade) forum and the deals that our great fellow members offer up.
