Good evening all.
Its nearly been a full 2 months since I started shaving with a double-edge razor after giving up my Mach 3 (first my Beautytrack now my 39c Sledgehammer).
What I really like about double-edge shaving:
The shave is far closer without any bumps or rash. And it is much more enjoyable partnered with my brush and cream/soap.
Using a razor that is 100% metal without any plastic in it. It feels a lot nicer on the skin. When I first got my 39c Sledgehammer my wife thought it was a weapon compared to my Mach 3 as its so much heavier and more imposing! She has warmed to it now and she likes it very much.
Having so many different makes of blades to choose from without breaking the bank.
Finally the general satisfaction of getting much better shaves!
This forum has been a massive help so thanks to all of you!
(Just a side note. Even my wife addresses my razor as 'The Sledgehammer' instead of 'Razor'!)
