Looking for

[David7307]

I have a Gillette Blue tip razor for my daily shave ,well its my only razor, and i would like to get something along the same lines for aggressiveness, Maybe not even a TTO, I had a cheap 3 piece Gillette with a aluminium handle ,was my first razor but the threads striped, so into trash, any ideas what would be a good reasonable priced second razor to start my collection ,or any one on here have something to sell

David, do you care about obtaining a birth razor?
If yes and depending upon your birth year and maybe even quarter depending your age, there are a few different vintage options. If not, Gillette Slim or Fatboy are generaly mentioned as good alrounder razors for most folks and are adjustable too.

i don't care what year it was made,
What is the difference between the slim and fat boy seeing thy are both adjustable

Slim has a slightly longer, yet skinnier handle.

Slim and Fatboy also have slightly different head geometry, Fatboy handle is thicker and it feels heavier in the hand - different balance. See my post in the heads up thread for a couple listed on eBay at present.

I heard stories saying that birth razors can give you better shaves. It is rumored that, if paired with a birth blade, a birth razor will procure a BSS that will last a week. That's what the rumor say anyway.

have a good day.

...and a Shick Krona Adjustable will generate it's own lather.

That is what the rumor say, indeed. Apparently, you need to say the words 'Open Sesame' for the doors to open and each time a new P74 will appear.

I've 2x P74's in front of me, yet alas, still no Krona adjustable
It makes me sad
