Hi all!

Shave Newbie
Hi all,

My username is pronounced Gillette LOL.

I have been shaving with a blade and cream ever since puberty starting with Trac 2 and with a brief interlude in using an electric shaver for like two months in my teens and then I switched back to blade shaving. I switched to DE 15 years ago. I am almost 50 years old and switched to SE razors because I have a very tough beard. I occasionally use DE razors.

I have an artist club shavette but I rarely use it.

I stumbled upon this forum when I came across BarberDave on YouTube while looking for a Saponificio Verasino shave soap! BarberDaves Straight razor videos are outstanding!

Hope to make new friends here!

@gLet Welcome aboard! You have found a great group of guys.

What SEs are you using? I've pretty much abandoned my DE razors.
 
Welcome to the TSC! I think the Blackland Vector is about the best SE razor I’ve ever used. Have you tried it?
 
Welcome @gLet ! Dave’s got some masterful shave skills for sure! You should pick up that shavette more often! Love my Feather SS folding.

Glad you could join in!
 
Welcome! I keep forgetting to finish watching Dave's videos, so thanks for reminding me to do that! 🤣 Jump into conversations that you find interesting, even if it's an old thread.

Nice line-up. Good mix of old and new. Looks like you like your razors on the aggressive side.

They have to be to mow down my stubble lol.
I also use the RazoRock Wunderbar with a feather blade which are only good upto two shave for me.

I have many DE razors as well. The Red Tip, Super Adjustable and PAA Ascension being my favorite.

But my favorite DE razors always change for me lol
