Happy Safety Razor Day!

Dec 2nd 1901 the one and only King C. Gillette began selling the now ubiquitous and iconic blades we know and love today. Oh how far we have come.

Wow, 119 years. Boy am I a slacker. I only found the hobby < 3 years ago. I flat out wasted 116 years. [emoji6]

Might need to take the Slim for a shave, being it's Gillette and all. Thanks @OpusX . [emoji106]

Definitely time to celebrate. In fact, let's have a zoom call tonight to celebrate!

I thought every day was safety razor day here.

Some days are UN-safety razor days! Like some days when Murphey show up, or when Matt @Luecke3262 uses one of his 100's (1000's?) of straight razors!

This is true, 95% of my days are Un-safety razor days. I'll have to break out the Gillette Double Ring this afternoon, for this rare occasion. Annnd the current tally is 880 straight razors(so still in the 100's)..... Not including the 200+ in the parts/junk pile.....

KJ, @Spider your software collection dwarf's mine lol. Between the two of us, we could set up 100's of new shavers with dens...
