I had been using a long-handled Super Adjustable since November, but picked up my '58 TV this morning instead.

the Gillette Tech IMO is one of the best ways to transition from mach3 to DE. a truly gentle and effective razor. it's great for travel because it comes apart and can pack real well without taking a lot of space in the kit. also the price (no more than $15 with shipping) is one of the best around fo...
