1. I am a pig as far as shaving goes; I have shaved for years with cartridge razors, usually Mach 3 and the like -- I wish to reform!
2. I sometimes don't change the cartridge for months; shave still fine, just push harder !
3. I am concerned about cleanness of shave, safety and reasonable speed of completion; growth probably medium, not wire, not peachfuzz;
4. All of the above said, I think I want to go DE, medium aggressive; I wear a beard (not clean shaven since '91) and I need to be reasonably artistic in shaving up to and not over the line;
5. Due to beard, I really want to avoid brush/lather and use a shaving product that provides translucency with lubrication; this could be a bar I rub on face, a cream, I've been known to use hair conditioner! Will use witch hazel; bay rum -- brand suggestions?
6. I would like to understand comb vs. no comb, shaving oil (can I shave with it?) and any suggestions re razors, blades probably longer handle, lower cost.
Many thanks, Bearded Ones!​
