Its crazy to realise the $$ thrown in the trash in the name of disposable convenience.
I used a straight razor just about my entire military career. Put up with all the headaches from command and pussies alike. Been using a safety razor for a few years now and thinking about switching back. Total dissatisfaction using a plastic mutlibladed money maker for someone else. I cant remember using training wheels on my first bike either.
...with the current price of the multi-blade cartridges , the cost of a good plain Davo pays for it’s self in a few months.
Guys have to remember the original safety razors by King Gillette gave the holder away for free because the prime business was the continued sale of blades...until one died and and even after for the final shave by the mortician, who likely used a Gillette safety razor.
