Interesting story but the love of a razor is not to be denied! Just wait until you are married and on vacay when your wife forgets her razor at home and "accidentally" borrows yours to shave her stubbly legs...let the drama begin! Maybe it might be wise to either include a disclaimer in your pre-nup or whatever that specifically prohibits such acts of intrusion or you can date a hairless chick! :) Nice Blog BTW!

One thing. While the razor is certainly the central character, let's not forget the pre game warm up. Since changing from the chemically infested shaving gel that Gillette and all the other CPG's churn out, to the simple and sophisticated English lather and a badger brush my face has seen a revolution of sweet softness (and you save a ton of money in the long run...I've had the same English lather last me almost 12 months, just gotta invest upfront in the badger brush).

I don't know how any man wouldn't educate his son on the benefits of a silver tipped badger brush and English lather.

At least you only have to shave your face and not your legs, armpits, bikini line, etc. That being said, good razors are hard to find. Even some of the 23947293874-blade ones still hurt and don't even work!

You can get one free! Except that it was only valid until may...

I'm sure they'd do something like that again though.

Yeah, I don't know much about shaving and men, but even though men are usually considered to have it easy, I agree that it is tough for them to have to figure out the "intricacies" of us women. Ughhh!

That's precisely why she WON'T be shaving me anytime soon!

Oh, I know:) I did too.

Yeah, Gillette is pushing their new cocaine. I get it. I'm actually impressed with the workout on cost; obviously I'm holding out (til what? dunno...my next shot at adolescence and free Gillette stuff?).

Yeah, I'm like you with the lucky lighter shading, although mine goes red. And the face beard is just aggressive these days. Killing me, with effing crap disposable razors.

Also, you should make Shellster shave you. If you haven't, I know when I did that with my girlfriend (at the time) it was really, really funny how scared she was of killing me.

Gillette owned us as young men. I'm proud of you, man. Two blades. So neanderthal.

There's a FOUR? How long did that last?

And yes, Machs apparently destroyed the need for cream. I discovered that in college; now only with major facebeard do I need cream.

Right! Good luck with the next razor; could be a forever thing! And I'm down with the replacements, in fact I still HAVE blades! Just no stem! UGH.

Re: Shaving Revisited

Derek — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 23:33:29 -0000

Hm, the shaving brush - I've never understood. I mean, the Mach3 shaves like champ, so I'm happy. Right?
