Idk. I switched to a safety razor and everything is better now, save for slightly worse nicks, but a shaving block takes care of that. And the cost of a cartridge (couple of quid each?) certainly is NOT better than the cost of a fresh blade in a straight razor (25p or so). Edit: old style i.e. safety razor, soap and brush is also far more environmentally friendly than new style i.e. cartridges plus foam out of a can.
