i have been wet-shaving for most of my adult life , stared with an electric philip when i was 17 in 1982 then i moved to the usual gillette 2-3-5-n blades (sensor/mach3..fusion).
This year, after the infamous "toxic masculinity " ad i moved to schick hydro 5 (very good shaver)and finally, since april 2019 (after watching geofatboy and mantic59 videos) to DEs with great results. Two days ago i was on a short vacation and i just had disposable bics to shave (yes, the terrible white/yellow one-blade). To my complete astonishment, by applying DE technique (no pressure...beard mapping...prep etc etc) i got a great shave with no irritation.
I have come to several conclusions:
- technique is WAY more important than the gear you have;
- (if you use carts) lubricating strips...3,4,5,6,7..n blades are just gimmicks carefully studied to get more money from the bovine masses.
What do you think?
