Could you please link to posts on this site that demonstrate hatred of them, they're junk, anything to back up your claim? I've been here a very long time and I've never encountered even one. But it is merely a rule. Maybe you're confusing a rule with everything else you claim?

Perhaps I am and I may have gotten the wrong impression. Just the vibe I have gotten as a new comer.

We try to keep this forum on the topic for a couple of reasons.
1. It is the 3rd iteration of the forum, and keeping the tradition alive.
2. SE razors really were the 1st safety razor. Most folks think of safety razor as the unmentionable ones, but that is due to marketing, I suspect,
3. The history of these razors is astounding and weaves through many different eras and that is one of the draws that we appreciate.

Today a D-unmentionable.
Thursday a SR-unmentionable.
Saturday 13th a MB-unmentionable.
Saturday 6th a Sh-unmentionable.
This month 6 shaves with “mentionable” razors.
I love all shaving systems, and I love to play with them all.

How long for you?
I use unmentionables fairly often in my Youtube videos. I find it brings new people i and then they can look through the videos and maybe get hooked on real razors.
Happy shaves to ya!

I use all kinds of razors. I decided years ago that the SE and Injector razors were at the top of the food chain. A razor is a razor but some are better then others. The SE's are for me the best easiest shaving razors around. The early models were simply works of art. Beautiful designs that functioned great. I don't think I can say that I hate other types of razors. I just think the SE an Injectors are far better designs.
On other forums these wonderful razors get shoved to the back. Everyone is tied up in the hunt for the perfect blade and razor combo. I was caught up in that for a time myself until I realized there is no such thing. A razor is a razor and a blade is a blade. Any difference in a blade is sorted out through solid technique. I took over The Original Safety and have not looked back.
Happy shaves to ya!

It's a Fuzzy thing. I have made the mistake of posting unmentionables a couple of times. It was all innocent, but the bricks started flying. I haven't seen any bricks for a while now.
I still have the launcher.....
