This is a great list. Vintage ads are one of my favourite things so love seeing it here.

!straight_razors@sub.wetshaving.social is ...pretty niche. But yes, some of us still use straight razors. Often ones that are over a century old. And it's not as dangerous as you might assume--in fact an edge carefully honed by hand can be easier on the skin than what comes off a factory line wrapped in too much plastic.
