I received an Art of Shaving kit with a Merkur Vision adjustable DE when my first stubble came in. It was horrible. The soap, the blades, the razor, the experience. I didn't know at the time. I figured it was my sensitive skin disagreeing with shaving.
For a very long time, I only shaved infrequently with a buzzer. As I grew older I wanted a sharper look. I picked up the Merkur again and could not get it to work for me. I bought a $200 Braun electric shaver to get a "close shave." I couldn't believe how bad it was. But it was the best, right? So again, must be my skin.
After many mornings of loud buzzing, missed spots, and dead batteries, I knew a single blade had to be the only way to a good shave. I did my research, tested products, experimented with my technique.
Three years later I'm here, still learning and loving the process of a nice, wet shave.
(KAI blades, Simpsons Commodore X2, Merkur 25C or Henson AL13 (still testing).)
