I used one of those, and used Old Spice after shave when I first started shaving .

This was the type of razor I used back then

I think my current razor has four blades. It's a bit silly.

I still have mine and use it exclusively. I've got Dupuytren contracture which makes appling shaving cream difficult otherwise.

That looks like the face of a person who just applied Skin Bracer after a shave.

These days I just use an electric razor. Takes about 4 minutes. Too easy.

I use Gillette Mach3 razors now. This is the last package I bought on Amazon. They last me a long time, and I don`t get razor rash. I have sensitive skin

Pre-1950. That's when Transcontinental and Western Air became Trans World Airlines. Not sure that name would fly these days either.

Sound's like you need some Johnson's baby lotion on that tender skin of yours.

Deja Vu. My dad had the very same Old Spice mug and brush set in the 1950's. He used a straight razor until sometime in the 1970's when his hands began to shake too badly. I remember lathering up the brush and smearing it all over my prepubescent face, but the one time I tried the straight razor was the last time.

Congratulations! That's a great feeling. Burned mine a couple of years ago.

we threw extra principal on ours for years, and when we bought this house we went for a 15-year instead of 30, and still kept throwing extra, and we paid it off a few years ago.

Quite a few of us have done that now. Good for us.

No you're absolutely right Esteban, years in the making and we're all hopefully enjoying the rest of our days.
