I consider myself a shaving purist and moved away from multi-blade nonsense to a traditional double-edge razor about 5 years ago. It's very therapeutic, and the cost savings and quality of shave trumps modern razors at the expense of a few extra minutes. To put cost in perspective, for $20 you can have a 2-month supply of razors and have an almost brand-new blade touching your face every 2nd or 3rd shave. When time is precious or I'm traveling, my windfall is a nice electric razor. Here are some good resources for picking up the art. I tend to prefer the Robert's wet method shaving technique. He's based in Austin, TX and makes all his brushes, soaps, and oils by hand in his shop off Congress. http://shaving101.com/index.php/education/11-method-shaving.html http://shaving101.com/index.php/education/11-method-shaving.... http://www.youtube.com/user/mantic59 http://www.youtube.com/user/mantic59
