I get a lot of value out of the Gillette double-sided safety razor my father gave me when I was around 15. I'm still using it half a century later. It is one of the few perfect inventions in the world that cannot be improved on. When tightened into place, the blade is held at the perfect angle for shaving, and when loosened, it is easy to wash out the soap and stubble with a shake under running water.

I wonder if, back in the 1950s, Gillette intended to make a razor that would last over 70 years? Well, that's what they did. There are lots of them still around, and several companies make new ones on the same basic design.

If you are using one of those phony three-bladed, or four-bladed, or five-bladed razors that the razor makers designed to replace the safety razor, which get clogged up and don't work very well, I urge you to catch a clue and change to the double-edged safety razor. You've been wasting your money and getting shitty shaves in the bargain.

Damn good choice! Used one I got from my dad too and even gave each of my sons one that they still use to this very day. You can't improve on perfection.
