Excuse my ignorance - what is DE shaving?
Double Edged - old school, single blade safety razors.

DE is the way us old timers learned how to shave.

So I'm guessing this has the possibility of being more dangerous? I've watched a you tube video and it doesn't seem too different. Is the main difference the blade is not in a cartridge?

Very true...and we flew a lot of hours in the C-47, too.

From what I'v read, you have more control of the shave. Apply more pressure to areas that can take and less where you tend to get irritation. Also, I like the old school factor of it all!
Also, with it being a single blade there is less opportunity for irritation. For every one pass with a DE you'd be making at least three at once (or more) depending on the blades in your cartridge of choice.

You guys have just about got me sold on this. A few questions Doug: did you find it easy to use right away, or was there a learning curve?, and about how long does a blade last you?.
I'm sure I'll have more questions as I think of them.

DE's are not as forgiving as the 2011 type of razor. (Fusion etc.)

It was fairly easy and I was very hesitant/slow because I didn't want to have a blood bath. I got very few nicks, and the ones that I did get were minor. What I've read is that a "bad shave" isn't necessarily a result of a bad razor but a not so sharp blade or a technique issue. It's definitely a YMMV sort of thing.

Agreed, but with time and practice I think that they can beat out a Fusion or the like. Different strokes for different folks.

I have sensitive skin and hated shaving. Now I love it. It has turned into a hobby since I stared DE shaving. Plus I love the fact that is is about one cent per shave. I can get about 5 shaves per blade. Plus you can build a sweet shave den. Pick up alot of fun scents and show em off....See my other post for pics.

Are there any more reviews or verdicts, yet? I'm as anxious as a one-eyed cat watch’ n two rat holes, to hear what y'all think.
