Do you use a cartridge razor?

Cartridge razors aren't going to go away and they do have their uses. What I want to know is: Do you use one and what do you use it for? Personally, I use a Gillette Sensor for one pass quick shaves if I'm going out at night or if I'm traveling with just a carry on. I still use a brush, cream or soap however. So how about it? Is there a place for cartridge razor in your shave world?

 

I use one on my head. I wish I could fit a DE onto my Head Blade.

 

None here. I went straight from Electric to DEs and will be moving onto straights. No room for Carts in my world..

 

Not at the moment. I will freely admit that I have been pleased with my Mach3 for several years... UNTIL I tried DE... and I can't see myself going back anytime soon.

I have spoken.

 

A Sensor on occasion. A Sensor and Trader Joe's Honey Mango shaving cream is my current goto when I'm really rushed.

 

On occasion I'll use a injector for my head, but for everyday use it requires too much concentration. I use a M3 in the shower (on my skull) and it requires no thought. The hair up there is soft and they last a long time.




and it blade buffs like nobody's bidness

 

No, no, no way--a DE, or a straight for me, please. I threw away my Mach 3 and Sensors, and the blades for them.

 

I switched back to DE razors in December 2006. I still have my Sensor, Mach 3, and a Fusion NIB. With my vast collection of DE's, I have no intention of using them again. Maybe tag sale items. Or: GARBAGE!

 

That's the only thing I would use a cartridge for.

 

Fusion, if I'm in a super hurry and I'm really shabby looking, I'll rake my face and deal with the consequences later.

 

Either a Straight or DE if in a hurry for me Although one of my co-workers was raving about his 5 bladed cartridge razor today....maybe I can convert him...

 

no

 

No, I don't.
I don't like buying all that plastic with the blades.
Still have a Sensor handle at home, though. I wonder what I should do with it. I don't wanna toss it but I don't need it for shaving either...

 

In the past couple of months, I've used a Mach3 at the gym as work because I was shaving in the shower. While it worked well initially, I found I was getting razor bumps after a few days use. So, I'm re-thinking how I will get shaves in the gym when I need them; the Mach3 can't be the preferred solution.

 

Chris, how about a travel-razor? Merkur makes 'em and you can also find Gillette travel-razors on ebay.

 

Ya know, I've got one (and had forgotten about it -- HA!). I do remeber the cramping though with trying to hold it. Nonetheless, I should give it a shot. Thanks!

 

What would be the problem with bringing any DE? It's not like it's a huge apparatus to haul around... If you can carry a Mach3, a Tech shouldn't provide any problem IMO.

 

Nope, never.. I tossed away my Sensor some years ago..

 

YMMV

For me M3 >>> DE's

 

Rich, I'm just to this day not able to understand how the cartridge razor became so popular in the shaving world with canned junk. Strange, yes?
