I'll start by saying that if it were for objectivity, I'd still be using Nivea foam and the excellent one bladed BIC Sensitive disposable razor.
I'm not saying that this combination gives the best objective shave or comes close to traditional wet shaving. Nor am I saying that there aren't true objective guys among our members, who are able to evaluate things, well..., objectively!
What I am saying is that I don't care for the objective aspects of shaving (past a certain performance level, which I believe to be the case of at least 90% of the products used and mentioned here).
So, whenever I'm choosing a brush, a soap or a razor, there's so much more into play than the reasons I try to convince myself of. Maybe that's just me, trying to get rid of buyer's remorse or fighting some ill resolved early childhood psychological issue.
The fact is that whatever I use, buy or contemplate buying brings with it much, much more than the actual product.
When I was objectively shaving, this thing used to be a damn tedious chore! Not anymore!
