Hello everyone! Long time listener, first time caller here. I feel like I've finally found my tribe, so thanks for being here. A few months ago, in a nostalgic moment, I thought it would be neat to shave the way my Dad used to. When I turned to The Google to investigate, I was pleasantly surprised to find it was not a lost art, so here I am. I wonder if the Gillettes, Schicks etc., will ever acknowledge the groundswell of men who like an old-school shave. It seems to me there's a significant share of the shaving market shifting toward buying Merkurs and whatnot. It'd be great to see a TV commercial for a DE Safety Razor again, wouldn't it? Anyway, I'll be tuning in to you guys for info & advice, so thanks again!

Welcome to B&B! Good to have you around. I'm now shaving with the Gillette Slim Adjustable my dad taught me with in 1963.

Goober says, "Judy, Judy, Judy" or "Hey," whichever is relevant at the time!

Welcome to B&B!
It's a great group of mentors and enablers.
After you're here for awhile you'll know what I mean by enablers.
Enjoy!
