Going back to Barbosol in a can and a Gillette cart

[Ron Scott]

Do any of the faithful ever do this?

 

[Wingnut]

Not that they'd ever admit to here!

 

[Toothpick]

nope. never used Barbosol.

I was a Gillette gel man.

and I don't ever plan on going back.

 

[martym]

Not gonna happen

 

[Allegrabene]

I use a cart every so often but never use canned goo.

 

[grendel]

I actually like the foamy cans like Barbasol and Gillette. But I'll never go back to cartridge razors unless on short work trips.

 

[Kilroy6644]

I routinely do. Originally, I was just keeping my "Old Faithful" Mach 3 in service, and using up a can of Barbasol. But I like Barbasol, so I bought more, and I bought more cart razors to try them out, so I added them to the rotation. Now I have certain days set aside for cart use.

 

[AceByTerror]

Not ever.

 

[mikeschu]

I was stuck on a trip and for space considerations (one-bag only on a flight) I went to a Mach3 and a can of Gillette gel.

I can deal with a Mach3 for traveling, but after that shave I said to myself that there is no way I can do goop unless I absolutely have to.

 

[BBS Kirk]

Never.

I once retried the cart, maybe 3 month after jumping in the DE tsunami, it didn't impressed me. I also tried Barbasol with DE, it didn't impressed me I didn't touched a cart or a can of goo for about 18 months and I don't plan on ever switching back to carts.
The only reason why I'd use a cart/Goo again would be If I'm travelling in a place where I don't trust the water in the sink....or the sink itself !

I use Barbasol for shaving my head, but I still use an injector for the shave. Can't imagine that I'll ever go back to a cartridge razor.

I still use carts some of the time, Barbasol, no. I've used it enough to know I don't like it at all.

 

[mmack66]

I occasionally use both together, or a DE with Barbasol yellow, or a cartridge razor with brush/soap. It all worked good for gents in the Sixties and Seventies, and it works good for me.

 

[John Von Wuggz]

I went back to the Gillette Fusion and goop once but just for body hair maintenance. I wanted to see how I felt about it after learning about wet shaving. It was ok for body hair removal but not as good as my Futur and TOBS. It tugged enough that I never felt inclined to try shaving my face with it again.

 

[Foyle]

I still think Barbasol is about the best canned goo that America produces. It's not as good as a brush and a good soap, but it's pretty good considering it costs less than $2.00. The gels never worked well for me. I have a can of Proraso foam on the way to try out for kicks. I'd use Barbasol over some soaps I've tried. I throw the Sensor into rotation every so often so you never know; I could wind up using some Barbasol and the Sensor on the same shave someday.

 

[Mick]

I've never used a system razor nor any aerosol shaving anything.

started with a DE, brush, mug, and soap.

Got a couple of electric razors from well meaning relatives for xmas and bday presents but most got a quick buzz then put away and brought out to sit on the counter when the giver came visiting.

 

[Craig_From_Cincy]

You can have my shave brush and traditional cream/soap when you pry them from my cold dead fingers.

 

[MixedMotives]

i still use a fusion and canned stuff to shave my head i still haven't got the balls to shave my head with a DE or straight

 

[chilliman64]

the closest I come to this is using a Schick I1 and a soap stick - I will never again use a cartridge or canned goo unless I have absolutely no wetshaving options available
