Hello Everyone!
I've recently ditched the Mach III, the electric and the bic, having stumbled accross Mantic59's 'How to Shave With a Single-Blade Razor' YouTube video and this website. After experimenting with a cheap pharmacy DE razor I bought a Gillette Super Speed off ebay, a Pure Badger brush from Taylor of Old Bond Street (next to where I used to work! ), Avocado TOBS shaving cream, a decent sized block of Alum from Geo. F. Trumper & a 1.5 Large Dirty Bird Scuttle.
Shaving is now much more enjoyable and I no longer dread it!
Looking forward to being able to shave against the grain on my neck etc, at the moment it seems a bit sensitive, although shaving with the grain seems fine just not very close.
