I just purchased a Gillette Super Speed from ebay for < $20 w/ shipping. I had a period of time with a straight razor but found maintaining the edge to be an exercise in tedium so I went back to my Fusion. Now I'm just plain tired of paying fat $$$ for cartridges, want the best shave I can get and actually enjoy the manly process of REALLY shaving.
Hope I made a good choice in the razor! :)

I am in C-bus also, and also new here. Have fun, hope you enjoy your Gillette. I've got a Superspeed and a Merkur Progress on the way to me.

Cool! You'll have to let me know how the Merkur is. All my reading indicated that they're pretty agressive so I decided against one. Originally Posted by AceBuckeye

How about them "Blue Jackets"! You've picked the perfect razor to start with. I have always loved my super speeds.
