Disposable Vs DE

This morning i was in a rush to get ready since i had to get my kid to school. Since i needed a shave i opted to shave with my wife disposable razor (Gillette)
it was also a good way for me to see what its like to shave with one of those, as im shaving with a DE close to 2 months. I lathered up with my Boar and some nice RSC cream and did a WTG pass, XTG and ATG. Well, the only thing that was good about my shave was the speed and the amount of the time it took me. Comparing to my DE (which is an inexpensive Diamond Edge Classic razor), it felt like scratching my face, and it did shave me ok, but not close at all there was no "fresh" clean feel in the end as i get with my DE. Now i know why i switched to DE !! it is nice to compare the two, and than to go back to the DE.
I can only imagine what its like with a better razor, like a EJ or Merkeur!
 
You don't have to spend big bucks for a BBS shave. For $10 to $20 you can pick up a vintage Gem or Star or Ever-Ready SE razor. You'll be amazed at what a good shave you'll get from one of these inexpensive razors.
