shaving update

2006-11-30 18:28:43.523833+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

After my query on shaving technologies a few months ago, I tried the latest N where N>=3 bladed wonders, a couple of different creams and gels, and eventually ended up back where I started: A good old style single blade (double edged) safety razor, a good badger's hair brush, and mug soap. Closest shave of all of the options I tried (although it takes just a little longer), and although the capital costs are a bit more, by far the cheapest per shave of any of the blade related options.

In fact, the ancient technologies have so impressed me that I've considered getting a good strop and a straight razor, but I think that'd be more time than I'm willing to commit to.
