You make it sound like if one uses a cart razor, he is limited to using canned goo. Nothing saying you can't use a brush and all those fantastically scented soaps and creams with carts. Just sayin'
Exactly. My first step toward shaving happiness was Harry's carts and VDH soap and brush. At the time I didn't understand the single edge versus 5 edges issue. Then finally VDH (Weishi) razor.
When I got my ming shi DE razor I couldn't believe I had been using those multi bladed carts....Unbelievable..... Then I got my Schick I2....I really couldn't believe how I ever got into those Carts..... This morning I shaved with my beloved OC Micromatic, and it is really unbelievable that I ever spent years using those carts.....or the DE's either....ha,ha....I love these SE Warriors, can't imagine life without them....Wouldn't want to either....
I guess if a man choses to use his pocket knife, DE, SR, SE or Cartridge to shave with, it's up to him what gives him pleasure .
I wish I had never learned to shave with a cartridge. Although if I hadn't I would never have learned to appreciate DE's so much.
