Being that I'm a Marine, i help to facilitate a local group for mothers with sons that are deployed. Being both prior enlisted and ending my career as an Officer of Marines, I can an accurate portrayal of what their sons, grandsons etc. are experiencing on a daily basis, what's going through their minds, and the best care packages to send to their Marines. (Come on who hasn't received a Gummy Blob because someone thought you might enjoy some gummy bears in 100+ degree weather?)
I was discussing the other day randomly after the meeting about my DE shaving, and asked one of the older ladies there is she knew of any antique stores that carried them. I've been wet shaving for probably 8-10 years now and only own a 38C (previously had a 34) a Vision and a 72 black handle SS I picked up on ebay just last week on a whim. She said she didn't but she'd be looking out for me. Well two nights ago at a meeting she brings me in a bag of Older Gillete Adjustables. Two were here father's and one a former fiancé. Inside were 3 razors (unknown to me what they were off the top of my head so I came here and checked it out)
The contents of the bag? A 1962 Slim Adjustable (H.2) and TWO Black Handle Super Adjustables one a 76(W.1) and one a plastic bottom 77(X.1) The kindness of this lady surprised me greatly but said they may as well go to someone that will use them, and it was her way of thanking me for my service and continued involvement with the Moms and Grandmothers.
Pics will come later in the evening. I've got to run but this is the first chance I've had to post about this event and had to share it.
