It started two months ago when I purchased a Merkur 34C and began my DE shaving journey. That sturdy fella has served me well, but then one night, in an hour of vulnerability, I began reading about all-stainless steel razors and ordered myself a Weber PH. Good. Remaining calm. Plenty to work with here.
Until last week. Last week, spending a dangerous amount of time here on B&B, I figured I'd do what so many suggested and check out a vintage Gillette. So I bought a nice-looking 1958 TV Special Super Speed from eBay. Whew. All good.
Until a day later when I couldn't resist a beautifully replated NEW short-comb.
Oh and meantime I had a bid on an original-plating gold NEW long-comb. I mean, I have to compare them, right?
Now this week. This morning, nabbed a red tip, since it's so well loved. Surely it's worth a try, yes?
And now I have bids on a great looking Fatboy and a Slim.
My god. What is happening to me. I think I can stop now. But getting one just made me want another. I haven't even received any of these Gillettes yet. And yet, and yet, I just want to try them all.
I must be stopped. My friends will distance themselves. My family will seek help for me. I've been shaving this way for two months and I'm already in. I'm a goner. And I'm totally stoked to check out all these gorgeous razors!
