Meanwhile, wet shaving trend is coming back into focus as well. DE razors and straight razors are getting wildly popular and I must admit -- I paid $90 about 4 years ago and I still have enough blades for another 5 years of shaves. The soap/cream is dirt cheap and lasts an incredibly long time too. To top it off, I even have a lifetime supply of cheaper blades my wife can use.
I'm not sure why anyone would want to use any of the modern razors when the old school method works so well and is so dirt cheap.
Gillette is not the best a man can get (unless we're talking about their 7 O'Clock Super Platinum [1] or Silver Blue[1] DE blades which are pretty nice)
It's weird to think that I'm shaving like my grandparents used to. One of my grandfathers was a barber and I'm sad his old gear was thrown out before I had a chance to find it....
I also recall remodeling a wall behind a bathroom in my childhood home and finding hundreds of razor blades stashed in the wall because the old medicine cabinets used to have a slot to dispose of your blades. That always seemed like a bad idea to me because we had tornadoes...
I guess I'll stop waxing nostalgic now :-)
