ya i second that. Just beginning to use a DE razor at the moment. And guess what you can get a great shave from a single blade!

I hesitate to recommend this place, for the amount of time it could consume in your life. However, http://www.badgerandblade.com … You have been warned! You will be captivated by the amount of shaving culture going on right under our noses. (and under our chins, and that spot above your adam’s apple, etc)

Of course, I must plug my own modest shave blog (one entry only)
http://woknews.blogspot.com/2007/02/shave-blog.html

But in all seriousness, do have a look at “B&B”, you will enjoy it.

While I hate shaving, as a person with thick, persistent facial hair, I can’t go too long without shaving or I get ingrown hairs.

But I found that if I went to, say, 3 blades, I couldn’t return to 2 blades. The old razor just wasn’t satisfactory. I’m stuck now on 4 blades, but that’s it. Anything more is absurd, and scares the heck out of me that I’ll slice my face – something I did a great deal when I first went to 2 blades.

I’ve happily settled on a Mach 3 for a couple of years now. Every so often I’ll experiment with some crazy lubricating strip. Or not. Either way, I know I don’t need 5 vibrating blades doing their best to soothe me while simultaneously attempting to slice through the dense forest of vicious three day stubble.

This also reminded me of one of the best Onion articles of all time “Fuck Everything, We’re Doing Five Blades”.

A Mach3…I can’t justify spending any more.

After trying every foam, gel, and oil and still getting irritated skin, I now shave in the shower with no product, and I get a great shave, especially if I haven’t shaved in a couple of days.

Oops I was wrong, it is 5 plus 1.

And I do love the power, just shaving with the power off, and then turning it on makes cutting through my admittedly touch facial hair so much easier.

And good shaving creams also helps quite a bit, especially if you double shave (once with the grain, then relather and once against the grain).

I use the unpowered version, and honestly, it’s the best shave I’ve ever had. Don’t go with the matching shave gel, IMO it sucks. Nivea makes a few really good shaving creams.

I’ve got a Fusion as well and I was traveling to California last year.. and the vibrator turned itself on during security in the airport somehow. TSA was searching my bag b/c I had like 2 laptops and a hard drive or something geeky in there and they freaked out when they heard my razor making that sound heh. But overall I like the Fusion..

Well I usually cruise the web for free stuff and have only bought one razor so far for my entire shaving history (my first…) and I got a fusion once. It didn’t bother me that much but it didn’t last as long as multiple other that retail for cheaper.
