Hi all!
After spending some time on this forum I decided to join. M(34), Croatian, service technician. About two years ago, I remember standing in local supermarket and choosing what with I will shave next. Stash of disposable razors (I think they were Gillette twin blade or similar) was going to dry up. And they were PAIN to shave with. After only few strokes they clogged up and after that I spent more time trying to unclog razor than actually shaving. I remember my face hurted so much afterwards, and neck, I hated shaving, often I would use hair clipper to remove my beard. I didn't know how to shave. There must be a ton of guys like me.
Back to the me standing in the market, looking at disposable razors... prices just went up... anything on sale? no, ok... too expensive, too expensive, tried-doesn't work, and then I saw Wilkinson sword classic (the plastic one). Looking at prices and doing some quick math I realised it is worth of risk buying it, so if it doesn't work I won't be disappointed. Bought it, went home, watched some tutorials on YT and tried it. I was like, why nobody told me about this? I was aware that people shaved hundred years ago with DE, and it was technology that worked very well. Why to change something so simple that works so well? Since then I was in love with it.
Since then I feel so relieved because one life issue went away. Cheaply.
So I'm here to learn, share my experience, and just for a sake of it.

(BAD). It wasn't cheap in the beginning because I always buy spare razor when buying one. I store it unopened so if primary razor breaks down I have second one ready. I have this habbit with my tools also... Never enough blades also, must be ready for "shavepocalypse", right?
