Because of progress... mostly from the viewpoints of the big companies.
because cartridges and canned foam are better...
blasphemy
I can't answer why men have averted away from DE shaving, however I can tell you why they will convert to DE; because it affords better results. Most probably we steered away from it because of time constraints in an era when we were all looker for quick fixes and remedies. I believe that people will come back to DE shaving for the same reasons they abandoned it, as the traditional shaving renaissance demonstrates. Happy Shaving. Sam
+1And riding a horse instead of walking is also being lazy by some of the posters logic. Using a gas or electric stove instead of chopping wood and cooking in a fireplace or wood cookstove is being lazy. Saying that someone who is working full time, going to school, raising a family, doing volunteer work, serving in the military etc, is lazy because they don't use the apropriate razor according to some members is preposterous.
I'm not of those who say 'Sraight, DE & SE are the only real shaving methods', I'm of those who say that cartridges are too expensive for what they're procuring to me. Every time I ever used a Mach3/Fusion, after a 2 days regrownth its like someone spank my face.
