Happy Lather Games. This is my 4th Lather Games. But I have not always played “to win” as much as a lot of people have over the years.
This is one of the few razors I’ve never tried, even “back in the day”. This is a NOS (New Old Stock) razor from 1980-1985 time frame.
It was roughly during the same time that I began shaving “regularly”. I spent the summer of 1980 at Ft. Dix, NJ and was required to shave every day. (Boot Camp). Razors were cheap disposables from the PX.
My Freshman year was the Fall of 1980. All the dorms were full of “free” stuff during freshman days. Gillette made sure we all got a Trac II starter kit. Like any good drug dealer, the first one is free. I have always used a mug and a brush (canned goo too), but finding a good razor was always a challenge.
The soap, the aftershave, have both been in my den for a couple of years. I keep forgetting the “new to me” stuff and it seems harder to find things. The brush has a new Maggard V5 Synthetic. The soap worked pretty well. The aftershave is, IMHO, vile. Three passes with the incredibly mild Injector for a DFS.
A lot of these items will be PIF’d later.
