Dedicated to the manly art of shaving like a man. Battery-powered hunks of plastic are for CHICKS! Inspired by our times, I will always endeavor to explore the BEST and CHEAPEST shaving solutions. The point here is that shaving can indeed be a cheap and enjoyable daily activity that you will actually look forward to! This is NOT about sacrifice!

Gillette Old Type
OK, I've always been interested in trying the "Old Type", the very first DE. This 'estate sale' example from 1904 included a nasty scabby Schick PP blade so the thing was in use as late as the 70's!
It looks way scarier than it shaves. It gives a great shave with no drama. Blade alignment is a bit fiddly, but nothing to be afraid of.
