All us poor saps who were tired of paying out the nose for carts. I might have spent $150 for this razor, but I'm only paying 9 cents per blade. Lol
My advice, for what it`s worth, is to buy middle of the road products. Try a few different combinations until you find what you need(not want). There is one problem with this method.... there`s a good chance that you`ll get hooked on the procedure, as I did, and go overboard on shiny gadgets. So stay focused on what you really need and enjoy wet shaving. There are a lot of decent shaving accessories at your local shops that aren`t expensive. Happy Shaving and God Bless
Hmm, lets see. The thing i hate about wet shaving I would have to go with is probably inconsistency. Most of the time I can get a good shave, but I can also have bad shave days where my technique can be way way off where I end up having irritations, or a little bit of stubble. Another would be if I'm sporting a goatee or outlined beard that I accidentally shave too much off the edges. Once you take off too much, it's kinda hard to patch it up and make it look good again.
I hate that I quit wet shaving and tried the latest, greatest razors on the market. Then I awoke from stupidity and started DE shaving again.
I agree with the "wish I was introduced sooner" complaint lol. Definitely could have picked up some great razors in Asia.
Definitely that I didn't start sooner and that I have missed out on trying and collecting different soaps and razors from all over the world. Definitely on my next deployment I will be procuring many things.
I enjoy the whole DE shaving process and wish I had started much earlier. But I really wish it took a little less time. This morning I spent over 5 minutes on touch up alone. I would probably have spent more except work called and woke up my wife.
Here's what I hate. It started with the wet shaving and how good my face felt when I was done due to both the razor and the preshaves, soaps and aftershaves. This lead to buying natural soap, a scrunchie and a natural back brush for the shower. I used to shower with whatever was on sale, drag a cart across my face and tear it up and be out of the bathroom in 10 minutes max. Now I wet myself in the shower (okay people, get your heads out of the gutter, I mean with water), lather up the scrunchie and back brush, turn the water off, lather up my body, rinse (and I actually use the shower head with the hose now to get those hard to rinse areas), use the natural soap on my head instead of the buck ninety nine a gallon shampoo. Then I towel dry, wet my face with the hot water that my shave bowl and brush are soaking in, put on some pre-shave, do a nice 2 or 3 pass shave with touchups, cold rinse, apply balm and splash aftershave, put on deoderant -, clean everything up and apply cologne. Somewhere in all this, occasionally the brain will say "Brian, you have become such a girly man" because that is how I was raised to think. That thought is what I hate about wet shaving.
The cleanup after Shaving. When I use an electric there's no cleanup other than rinsing out my Shaver. Clayton
