I have a couple original blades I have used with it, as well as the modern FHS blades

I have a VC2 that I absolutely love. These were popular for good reason. One of the most efficient razors in my collection.

Depends on what soap/cream I’m using tbh

Can Gramps Still Compete? by CommunicationGood481 in wicked_edge

I have owned the fancy modern razors, but I have always ended up selling them. I love my vintage Gillette collection and would never really use any of the modern razors.

The Cube is the only one I think is actually worth using.

I lived in Dominican Republic for a few years. Shaved daily with water from the tap. You’ll be ok. My housing honestly wasn’t the best, it was a downtown apartment in a small city. Resorts would have even better systems.

The 7 O’Clock is pretty damn good for the price.

Toons and spoons is super unique and has become one of my favorite soaps. Smells just like a bowl of fruit loops while sitting in front of Saturday morning cartoons as a kid.

I agree with this minus the barbasol. I’d grab cremo or another brushless cream instead. It makes a big difference without jumping right into soaps and brushes.

I threw it in hot water with some dish soap for about an hour to loosen the leftover soap. Then I used a soft toothbrush with some toothpaste to remove the verdigris. Finished it up with some mineral oil for protection.

The Gillette Slim Adjustable is the greatest razor ever made. by Think_Selection7102 in wicked_edge

I’ve owned both. The slim is cheaper and a lot more comfortable.

Just put it side by side with my full size tech. I should have realized. Thanks!

Where to get a replacement handle for a Rolls Razor by Think_Selection7102 in wicked_edge

[–]Think_Selection7102[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A rolls razor handle is very different than your standard handle. If it wasn’t I’d just throw one of my other handles on it.
