Easy Peasy! About all I shave with! I might even throw in a vintage blades or two! (If I use a vintage blade on a new razor, will that count?)

Paging @mgweatherly , @Alum Ladd , @Whiterook , @ChrisPL68, @lasta, @Mannic to name a few.

I only just came upon this thread. The ping did not work alas Guido.

Ah yes, vintages. The Alpha and Omega of DE shaving. The Creme De La Creme of razor design and performance.

I only have and use proper razors, so obviously in.

The newest one is a ‘73; still old enough. I should be able to find something here.

Only if you mean by new before 1973.

Aha. Serendipity would then have it you see it anyway. Glad you are on the list Simon!

Recently I was speaking with a gentleman several years my senior and he thinks that the problem with young men today is that none of them are joiners. I was thinking while I can't be spoken of as a young man anymore I had better getting to joining.

I'm in!

@Tanuki, do you know about this thread?

 

[Tanuki]

@Tanuki, do you know about this thread?

Well, I do now...
I am doing straight razor/safety razor doubles these days, after months of safety razor focus. There is no reason April shaves can't all be vintage SR/safety doubles. My personal definition of vintage will be 'no longer on the market in the mid-1960s'. That will protect me from any possibility of a Gillette Techmatic shave.

Maybe some vintage blades and soap will come into play as well. Only brushes with vintage knots? I'll think about that.

Let's update the definition of 'vintage' to include any DE or SE razor manufactured 1974 or earlier. In other words, any razor 50 or more years old.

Ouch, That makes me vingage. Ohh well, I'm in. I have two currently, a 1948 Super Speed and a 1967 Adjustable Slim. I will add more later in the month of April.

Only if you mean by new before 1973.

You said manufactured in 1974 or earlier in post #1. If my '74 Super 84 Adjustable is disqualified, I will surely be crestfallen and unlikely to recover.
