I'm old enough that I started shaving with an Ever-Ready 1912 type razor. Then a few years later I tried an electric razor (Sunbeam) and I like it. But I always enjoyed wet shaving more. I used the electric mostly, only because it was less effort and faster. Most of my life I used an electric. Then I discovered B&B in 2011 and I went back to wet shaving and have not looked back since. I love it.
