I'm never going back. Not only do I get a splendid shave, I tend to nick myself far, far, less than when I used the Mach3 style blades. You see, they call them *adjustable* safety razors for a reason. I’ve been doing the badger brush, old school double safety razor thing for the past year. I’m never going back.

I bid on a 40's Gilette anyway, but I didn't win.

I really enjoy the process much more than I used to and get a better shave than I used to.

I have a badger-hair brush and whatnot but could never quite break the disposable-cartridge habit (Mach 3 and counting). However, I must say the best shaves I've ever had were performed by traditional barbers. Now THAT is a ritual, and one I really wish had survived as a part of normal guy-life in the US and Western Europe. Can you get a real shave in Cumbria? Cool.
