You won't regret it.

Yeah, I even built a nice mahogany razor stand with a marble base for my shave bowl and added some gold leaf accents.


When I broke my arm, I had to shift "obsessions" as my wife calls them from weightlifting to something else. Wetshaving somehow happened.

It took me a few weeks to get the technique down where I could get a perfect shave without cuts, but it's amazing how superior old razors are to this new multi-blade garbage where they charge you a few bucks per cartridge. The best razors were made in the 50s and 60s. That black-handled adjustable one I posted is a 1970.

Bought a few razors off eBay, a few from Antique shops...they polish up amazingly with a Dremel and some MAAS Metal Polish. They look cool on my counter too.

Bonus - Talking the wife into letting me shave her legs.

Rock and roll. For that reason alone I'm going to buy one. So the double edge blade, how does that work? Is one edge sharper than the other?

They're identical, there's just a sharp edge on each side. Convenient because you can shave one cheek, flip it over and shave the other before having to rinse it off.

There are single-edge blades too (for SE razors) but they're about obsolete now. They aren't as good anyways.

That's why you learn to do it right first.

She'll love the warm lather. If you do it right, you can shave more than her legs.

agreed, there's a little bit of creep factor involved with shaving someone else I think
