A while back, we had a fun conversation about razors and shaving (one of my favorite threads, BTW), in which I said I'd had enough of the gimmicky four, six, twelve..howevermany bladed cartridges out there, for which you need a federal background check to purchase. Since then I have been experimenting with numerous types of shaving apparati. My face isn't nearly as handsome as the Dark Star's, so I figured what the hell.
I have settled on the traditional double-edged safety razor, the kind your grandfather probably used. Not only does it give the second best shave possible (behind only a finely honed straight razor), the blades cost about $0.20 a piece rather than about $4.
Also, my new preferred shaving equipment is made in the old country, Limeyland. My razor, my badger hair brush, and even the shaving cream, which is made by a company called Taylor of Old Bond Street, which just sounds like somewhere a millionaire would shop.
At any rate...sometimes the old ways are just better.
