Gillette 1983 Super 109 PD Shave

I have an original Henson MED (I was an early purchaser - before they even began marking the plates) and loved it. It's my go to travel razor. If you get the MED and need a bit more aggression, you can back off the tightness of the handle and head by about a quarter turn or so. It kicks up the aggression a bit. I've done it for a final or first pass when I needed it.

Good shave Chris! I like the Personna blades for Gems, injectors and de’s.

@@bwmacho9461 thanks, I haven't tried the new injector blades I have a bunch of the vintage ones, I'll have to pick some up and give him a try

Great shave Chris. I saw Matt's video introducing the new Rex razor blades. He doesn't try to hide the fact that they are rebranded Czech blades: Tiger/Tatra. On the Razor Emporium site I noticed they are selling at quite a mark up. So IMHO only worth it if you want to pay extra for the fancy Rex packaging and rebranding.

@@pauldenali6367 thanks Paul, I didn't watch the whole video I just saw he was selling new blades thanks for the heads up

Hey Chris! Nice shave with a REAL adjustable!!😅😅 If you have a Sally Beauty Supply near you, they sell US made Personna DE blades in a 5 pack. I love those, really smooth and sharp! If you ever wish to invest in a good adjustable razor, maybe try the Rex Ambassodor. I have one and the build quality is top notch. They are expensive, but they are lifetime warranty. Matt from Razor Emporium stands behind his products! Thanks for the video! JimG

Finished off a tub of Captain's Choice Nor'Easter today. Already put out the V&E's Summer Sky soap, and AS for the rest of my shaves this week!

I think I may have sent you some Personna USA blades.

@rightsideupvt thanks! I found them. They were in the black dispenser thats awesome. I will test one out for all my upcoming De shaves. Once I get all these vintage razors fixed and sorted, I will be getting some more v&e's soaps and splashes .
