What was the first razor you bought new?

1967 black-handle Gillette DE for the BX at Iraklion Air Station (decommissioned), Crete.

1961 Slim Adjustable, G4, I think I bought it in Jan/Feb of 1962.

I still use it occasionally, looks like it will outlive me...

I've never had a new razor. All of mine are/have been vintage.

Weishi classic

Parker 89r. Very happy with it. solid, nice weight.

Gillette Fat Boy in 1960

I only own quality vintage tools

Merkur 38c - discovered i prefer shorter handles after that

Merkur 34c

EJ 89 Barley Chrome, It is on loan to my son. In the 5 months that I have been DE shaving I have picked up a couple of vintage Gillettes.
My son can keep the EJ if he wants. I told him that he will probably be like me and will want a more aggressive razor after a few months.
If it was the only one that I had, I would be happy with it.

First razor I bought ws from the Rick Harrison ad. MicroTouch....Liked it but PIF'ed it. Next was A Merk Progress Long Handle ...liked that too...PIFfing that one as we speak. Winner will be decide on July 23. I much prefer my old Gillettes but that's just me

Super Adjustable, probably around 1973?. I had shaved to that point for round a decade with hand me downs, but ended up losing them at the same time I needed a shave. Can't spec the date precisely, but recall being p.o'ed after spending the 2 bucks or so on the SA a month or so before the free carts started showing up in the college mailboxes. Then $2 was a pitcher of beer .. or 2 pitchers on Thursdays

A Mergress - before they were "mainstream"

The first purchased razor was an Edwin Jagger De89. I used my father's black handle Super Speed for 24 years before the De89.

My first brand new razor was An ATT R2 Atlas. 185 bucks but darn well worth it. I have this thing about razors... They gotta be made out of Brass and/or Steel or I do not buy them.

Merkur 34c....Bought it, discovered old Gillettes, sold it.

Gillette G2000. Paid for in Dutch Guilders (way before the EURO).

Parker 91R

My first razor was bought new in 1980. It was a Merkur (34?). I bought it in London from the old DR Harris store south of Piccadilly.

Merkur Futur.
