Well you know I was tired of tearing my face up. My dad just moved onto DE shaving a little bit before I did so I guess we're learning together and teaching each other things. The only time I will use a cartridge razor now is if I'm in an absolute hurry or I'm away for weekend drills or what not.
For the record, thank you all for being so friendly and eager to accept newcomers. Plus the girls I have brought over think it's so cool that I shave old school and they think it's some sort of deadly art.
I don't know about narrowing down a list, in fact I think the phrase" omg not another Damn razor" will be engraved by swmbo on my gravestone.
Luckily mine still thinks it cool when I find a new one, of course at some point I'll probably be hearing that phrase myself
& hope you enjoy the ride. I also have Proraso, green tube, in my rotation. I really like the cooling menthol.
