Anyone Else Use One Of These?

Just curious

 

[fmgee]

Nope, too busy letting my beard grow.

 

[smokinfireman]

Sure do! Love the old fashioned experience. Saves money on razors too.

Very nice blade you got there, are you actually using it?

 

[warren]

I have a barber that does.

@ Mr. Warren :rofl:

Yup, use a 200 year old G. Johnson with buffalo horn scales here. I also have a Dbl. Duck with yellow bakelite handles, and a Merkur 15C safety razor.

 

[heffeweisse]

I use a merkur double edged razor, so far it gets the job done.

I used to use a straight, but wasn't comfortable with my left hand and couldn't shave all around holding the razor in my right
I have several double edge safety razors, oldest is a '31 Gillette Good Will.

Only on prostitutes in 1880s London.

That's a really nice razor Chris. I've thought of trying one but I shave my head too and I'm afraid I'd scalp myself or something. I have considered a safety razor though. ::

All the time. I have a Dbl Duck Satin Edge, a Dovo stainless and few others in my rotation. I use a Belgium Coticule to sharpen them. Jim, I wouldn't advise using one on the head.

It takes about 30 minutes to shave. I enjoy the ritual of it. And I think it produces the closes shave. I lather up and twice and shave twice. I use an alum stone to let my fingers grip the skin while I use the razor with the opposite hand. The hardest part was learning to use my none dominant hand for the other side. Takes a bit of getting used to and practice.

Nice one Mr. Todd. LOL

 

[wayneteipen]

I do. Have been for several years now. I use a DOVO Bismarck.

 

[roderick]

I have one similar to yours that honestly I bought on a whim. I probably only use it once a month or so, but thoroughly enjoy the experience when I do.

 

[shikano53]

My DOVO and my Thiers-Issard are my goto blades along with my Dbl Duck. The DD has yellow bakelite handles as well.

Chasingembers, I'd love to see a picture of that G. Johnson

Same here

 

[shawnofthedead]

Used it once, gave me hell of a razor burn, went back to my disposable razors...
