ABSOLUTELY! I was reading and hoping to see him discuss DE...disappointing. He's still overpaying for even worse shaves now with the generic cartridges...I know...I did the same thing with store-brand Sensor carts before seeing the light. HORRIBLE shaves and still multiple dollars per cartridge.

I actually just sent him an e-mail--I read the article over lunch. I'll post his reply should I get one.

I just read the on line comments to the article. A few (ok, very few) do mention DE razors.

As did I. I just received a brief comment from the author. Nothing earth shattering.

Someone should PIF the guy a Super Speed, some Feathers, and some not too expensive shaving cream. Until he gets the thing in his hands, all we are is a bunch of retro shaving weirdos.

He's not coming on board with us anytime soon. He sums up his attitude in the article:

"We don't like shaving, and no matter what you do, we never will. All we want is a razor that will do the job without nicking us, either literally or figuratively."​

To him, we're just strange, antique razor weirdos, who get some sort of bizarre pleasure from performing something that is just a chore and then crowing about it as if we're better than everyone else...

(of course, that part's probably more or less correct... )

The guy is lost.
Anyone who refers to themselves in first person plural, like he's the Queen, is a wierdo.

"If you look at the sales data, consumers are willing to pay up for a better-performing razor."

You mean that of westcoastshaving.com, classicshaving.com, etc?
