Well, for my opening post, it may as well be about receiving my very first Double-Edge (DE) razor.I'm very excited and can't wait to try it. It is a 1954 Gillette Super Speed that I purchased from a wonderful man going by the alias of "Shave4Fun" on the ShaveMyFace forum (a wonderful place to gain a LOT of knowledge by the way). It was posted in the "Selling and Trading" section and I couldn't pass up the price.
Below are some pictures of it (taken by Shave4Fun) and I have to say I am very pleased with its condition.
He even threw in a brand new Derby blade for me to try.
So, I will definitely be posting on my first experience with it soon.

Looks very nice. And many like the Derby blades, as well. (They didn't work for me, but others love them.) For more information on blades, see this post.
Remember: good prep, light pressure, and good blade angle---and stubble reduction through more than one pass. :)
This is "Shave4Fun" and I did some polishing on this razor after it sold, so it looks better now. But, a shine does not make a razor shave better. Leisure Guy knows it's a good razor mechanically, good prep and a blade that works for you that makes a shave work well.
