So, how long has it been, since you stopped using Cartridge Razors?

Not yet anyway....

 

I hated to shave, which is why I usually did let my beard grow for a few day before shaving. I then hated how the cartridges would clog. More than a decade ago, I received my first DE: a plastic Wilkinson (a free gift from my parents in law). I tried it a few times but I was not impressed as it clogged too. So I cut off the safety bar on one side for the WTG pass. I did some experimental shaves like that, but never really liked the razor and I never bought any more blades for it. Instead I went back to cartridges until around Christmas 2012 when I bought a Mühle R41 2011. It was at this point I seriously begun using DE and what I really count as my start. This was the only razor I used for at least 6 months, if not more.

 

It's all good. You are correct, some around here take things too seriously. Kind of like starting an Arko vs Williams soap discussion.
