I've been shaving with DE razors for 6-7 years now, the last few years with my 1959 Fat Boy and just recently by adding a 1957 Red Tip. I use a rotation of TOBS, T&H, and AOS creams. However, due to travel needs, I will on occasion switch to a Mach III cartridge razor and Edge Gel in a can, mostly so I don't have to check my bag.
I had to do the Mach III/Edge thing this past weekend, using a new Mach III. Jeez, did it ever remind me of why I like my DE shaving experience! It felt like shaving with broken glass. While I got a reasonably close shave with two passes, my face was killing me when I was done. I can't believe this is how I used to shave every day.
This morning, I was back to my FB and regular creams. Got a BBS shave with absolutely zero irritation. How do guys use that other stuff?
