It is a practical decision for me, based on finances and my personal health. I didn't jump on wet shaving because of some fad, or to feel close to my dead ancestors or anything intangible like feeling more manly or having a ritual. Actually, let me just continue to talk about my personal story. Plenty of guys on here have been pushed away from cartridges. My point is that it's not the same story for everyone. So yeah, I also got alot of bad shaves because of this habit. They were so expensive that I would also stretch my usage out for weeks on a single head, thinking that I had to get $3 out of it before I could justify tossing it. The best price I ever got was around $12 for 4. ![]() Of course, another huge issue is the tremendous cost of replacement heads. I also used the Schick Quattro for years before I switched to the Hydro 5. I would never switch back, because I wasn't happy with my shaves when I used the disposable plastic cartridge razor system. Recently, I'm discovering SE razors as well, and things are getting even better. So I switched to DE shaving for health reasons. I know everyone has seen the commercials. I suffered interminable ingrown hairs, due to the way the 5-blade system pulls and tugs with each additional blade to try and shave below the skin line. For me, it was very irritating and always pulled at my hairs. I shaved for several years with the Hydro 5. I used a cartridge razor, mostly the Gillette Mach 3, for 30 years and never heard of more than one pass shaving. The first time I ever heard of more than one pass shaving was when I got into vintage shaving and started watching videos. Besides, if you look in our shaving cabinets I think the argument that DE shaving is cheaper will be quickly nixed.Ĭ) See thoughts on quality shave above most people don't know and don't care what a quality shave is. A couple thousand dollars a year for cartridges doesn't mean anything to them. ![]() If it's good enough for her, why isn't it good enough for me?ī) Most people have excess amounts of money nowadays people regularly spend over $3 a gallon for gas and drive their kids to play soccer. Simply go pick up the latest cartridge and have at it with some shaving cream. ![]() You can get a good enough shave that any woman is happy kissing you without knowing anything about shaving.
