    Shaving with a safety razor is kinda a hobby for me. Its just feels like I’m treating myself.

        Wont regret it. I do recommend picking up a blade sample kit though just so you can find what you like and doing some research on the material of the razor body. Zamak tends to be too brittle and often snaps. Also maggardrazors has many deals so keep your eyes peeled. Think I picked up my first razor for like 20$ at the time it was a fatip classic

          I still use an old 20s-era Gem that I got at an antique shop for $10. Once you get the shaving technique down it’s a nice soothing ritual that ends with a great shave.

              I’m childless but I hope someone will keep using it. I haven’t refinished it, but a small part of the nickel plating has worn away on one side, so I might look into getting it plated. It has a nice size & balance!
