The time has come for those of us who admire, collect and regularly use vintage Gillette DE razors to join together in a new club to celebrate those marvellous wonders of engineering that changed the shaving world forever-- the vintage Gillette DE razor. In this club "vintage" simply means from the time Gillette started making DE razors until the time they stopped, i.e. anything before Gillette carts.
Membership requirements are simple: you must own at least one vintage Gillette DE razor and share an undying admiration for these wonderful shaving tools.
For those of us who choose to shave with a true legend, a vintage Gillette DE razor, you have come to the right place to share pictures of your collection, wax on eloquently about your favourite Gillette DE razor or tell your favourite story about your best antique store find. Tell us about your first shave with a Gillette (maybe it was a gift from a special someone). Talk about that heirloom vintage Gillette that belonged to your Dad or Grandpa (or Grandma) that is now your beloved daily razor.
Maybe you have a serious love triangle thing happening and can't choose your favourite DE among your Aristocrat, your Fat Boy and your Heavy Tech. Tell us your troubles and we can weigh in and offer advice. You are among friends here at the clubhouse.
What was the first vintage Gillette DE to be displayed on your shave den shelf? Share your reasons for choosing a vintage Gillette over a newer razor as your daily go-to razor. Maybe your vintage Gillette DE has a special story to tell!
Now I ask you, where would the traditional wet shavers of the world be without the beloved vintage Gillette DE razor?
And should you decide to join this club of merry men (and women) you may proudly hold your clean shaven chin up high and add 'VGRFC' to your signature line! Come one, come all to the VGRFC!
