It is very interesting that most of the comments that I have received when I talk about DE shaving is parroted straight from modern shaving commercials. It is like having the discussion with Spinal Tap over the volume setting. "11 is higher than 10." Well what the spinal tap parody was showing was user ignorance disguised by a numerical slight of hand. I have shaved with the multiple blade devices and the electrics so when I started with DE I remembered a little secret I learned in Marketing classes. Marketing is designed to make a product more attractive than it is, so that the profit margin can be increased anywhere from two fold to four thousand fold. So if you got the handle for free and you use the replacement blades and the canned goo, anywhere from 50 to 95% of your cost every shave is operating revenue and / or profit for some big company.
