So I’m cleaning out the old den today, when I find none other than... an honest to goodness cartridge razor! My old Gillette Mach 3s! Ewwwwww!
Lol! Ok so when I started wet shaving a little over 10 years ago, a big part of my reasoning was to save some money while I went to grad school. I got absolutely NO utility from shaving back then, so I’d have tried just about anything.
As most of us did, I fell hard for the culture and dove deep. I quickly spent way MORE on shaving than I ever did! I got into DE’s hard. Not long afterwards, I got into straights pretty hard too. I have a nice collection of DE’s with a bazillion blade’s to go with them. I have a great collection of straights too! I mostly use my Feather Artist Club “kami” now, but i’ll not “loyal” to it. On any given day, you’ll see me pull out a straight or a DE. I love em all.
And speaking of loving them all, I recall loving my old Mach 3 in the shower using hand soap, but getting a smooth shave all the same. Moreover, I just looked up Mach 3 prices, and they seem pretty cheap now!
I don’t want to ever go back to cart razors. But for nostalgia sake, I’m going to use the Mock 3 in about 5 minutes (shower first) with some great soap. What do you think? Am I going to:
Love it
Hate it
Pretend to hate it, but secretly love it
