I just converted a friend to DE shaving, and his birthday is coming up. He's currently using some cheap modern DE razor he got for $10 so I want to get him something better.
My razor of choice for him is a vintage Slim. He likes the idea of an adjustable, and it's the razor he remembers his dad using back in the day.
I'd like to get one in excellent working condition, although a few visual flaws are fine as long as the safety bars are straight, the 1/4 turn lock works and the adjustment knobs clicks smoothly between settings. It's a plus if the numbers still have their paint but it's not essential.
I'd like to spend a maximum of around $40 or so, if possible. Thus, I'm not expecting to get anything that has been replated or is in flawless visual condition. I just want my friend to have great shaves.
Feel like doing a good dead for a new DE shaving? Got an extra Slim that isn't getting much love anymore? Please contact me.
Thanks for your help,
Nick
