I basically didn't ask if it was different than the cheapo Bic single blades & let the blade come unscrewed while shaving in a rush. Oops.

However, it takes more work to get a close shave with a safety razor than it does to get a good shave out of multiblade.<br /><br />They say that the best shave comes from a straight razor, but they also say that it has the steepest, longest learning curve. <br /><br />Incidentally, the switch from straight to safety razors came about around WWI. The Army issued both types of razors to the Doughboys, who overwhelmingly preferred the latter. They carried this preference home with them, and the straight razor fell out of favor.Young Fogeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-69797036717150454152011-11-02T11:06:17.408-07:002011-11-02T11:06:17.408-07:00There is more to a great shave than closeness, in ...There is more to a great shave than closeness, in my opinion. <br /><br />There's an interesting discussion about Mach III vs. straight razor going on here, I suggest you check it out. <br /><br />http://straightrazorplace.com/shaving-straight-razor/75399-mach-delivers.htmlConnor T Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15402898628067226789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-70055891503301608462011-11-02T07:13:38.316-07:002011-11-02T07:13:38.316-07:00Mach III and all that will wreck your skin.

Unfortunately, I don't always have the time, so often resort to the quintuple-bladed ultra-lubrified™ mega-razor (cost for one cartridge: 50 gazillion dollars) for the grunt work, then finish off with the safety razor (cost for one blade: 10 cents).<br /><br />There is nothing like giving yourself 10-15 minutes to luxuriate in scrubbing your face, working up lather with a brush, and getting a nice, close shave with a real razor.
