Hello fellow chrome domes:
Hope all is well with U and your families. As some of U know, I have given up my Fusion, Hydro 5 and M5. No... I haven't given up head shaving. I have entered the world of traditional shaving (double edge, single edge, straight razor). As of April 4, 2012... I have placed my cartridges in retirement.
Since April 4, 2012, I have been enjoying my safety razor journey using a DE (double edge) razor for shaving both face and dome. I can say that I get the smooooooothest shaves with DE razors compared to any cartridges. It takes me longer but the results have been amazing.
My DE journey has been challenging and fun. Challenging in that U have to be very slow and careful with your head shaves. Fun in that there are many blades and products that U can "test". BTW... blades are super cheap. My current favorite DE blade is the Astra Superior Platinum blades. U can get a 100 pack at Amazon for under $10.
My current favorite DE razor is the Edwin Jagger 89L and Weber DLC. I also love the vintage Gillette Super Speeds, Lord L6, and Feather Popular. I can talk forever about my fun DE journey but I'm gonna stop here. On a side note... if anyone has questions for me regarding safety razors, please ask or give me a PM. Enclosed is an awesome youtube video of DE shaving with one of my favorite razors the EJ89L (Edwin Jagger). The video is from "Geo Fatboy" who owns shavenation.com and does some awesome youtube videos on DE shaving. Hope U enjoy.
