    The (insert name here) razor/blade/soap is the best because it worked for ME!

    Well. It would save money if we didn't use the money we save on blades on soaps and more blades and aftershave and balms and razors and soap and blades and creams and soaps and blades and soaps and creams. I think you get the point haha.

    Goodbye Wet Shaving! Hello Infinity Razor!!!!!

    I'm back. The blades were dull right out of the box and I cut off half my face. The other half is nice and smooth thanks my my MTO and my Personna Reds.

    We mustn't forget the 20 odd vintage razors.. Years ago life was so simple with 1 DE razor

    I still like the DE89. I should have stayed with it and not bought every razor I saw. Then I would have really " saved money by wetshaving ". Except for the soaps and after shaves and brushes and........

    I know exactly how you feel. I started with the DE89 and it does most of my shaving. The slim and the fatboy still see service but the others are just shelf candy now. It doesn't work for everyone. I had to "go around the horn" before coming home and realizing that it was a great choice for me.

    Maybe, but my razor still serves me fine. No need to go looking for something else.

    True, but it's not a myth then ... some people do use the same razor every day.

    I could not live with just one soap though ;)

    Yup, I used to be a one razor brush soap etc. man but then I found this place and my little spot on the shelf in the Medicine Cabinet turned into a whole 4 shelf plus Razor and brush wall hanging area Shave Den. Oh well

    Good on you!,I am more of a collector/restorer,so I use a different razor every shave!,but if you have found what suits you,why change?.
    A great shave,is a great shave,so why try and fix what isn't broken?.

    I enjoy collecting razors but have narrowed my daily shave down to one or two razors. I don't really have any other collections so my wife doesn't mind. A box of razors doesn't take up much space.

    And it's less expensive than collecting vintage cars or motorcycles!
