I'm going on a three-week trip around Europe next month, and I am doing the "one bag, no checked baggage" thing, to simplify and wonderfulify things, so I couldn't chuck my normal SE blades in my bag. After a search around here, I found that Bic Sensitives were amongst the top rated disposable razors, so I picked up a package.
This morning I decided to try one out to see what I'll be working with. My technique has gotten scores better since I've made the move to wetshaving, but it did feel very strange to use this almost weightless papery plastic thing to shave with, supplying my own pressure instead of using the heft of my favorite OMSs (Olde Metal Shavers). Listening to the strange little feedback, I did a few passes until I no longer heard hairs being cut, and felt my face.
Ack, I was scarcely shaved. I didn't want to try another pass with more pressure, as my time with other single-blade razors told me that was the wrong road to go down. Frustrated, I lathered up a final time and picked up my Gem G-Bar. One easy pass, and I had had my DFS, with substantial comfort and control gains. It was enough to make one laugh.
Luckily, I've just found out that my traveling companion plans to check a bag throughout the trip, so I can slip a pack of Pellas into his rollie and call it a day. *whew*
I feel like a big primadonna now, how can I *possibly* get by without a spectacular shave every day? hehehehe

I'm remembering a crazy awesome weekend flea market I attended in Berlin a couple of years ago that would be just the place to find such things. I might need to visit again now that this new obsession is in place.
