Dear all,
I'm a long time lurker, finally got around to checking in to vent my frustration.
I have been a wet shaver for at least ten years, using the best creams and brushes I could find, but always with a cartridge razor. I ditched the cartridge a couple of months ago in search of the perfect shave, and the gear acquisition syndrome kicked in big-time.
Unfortunately, I have come across the perfect shave very quickly: Kyle's prep, Trufitt & Hill pre-shave oil, TOBS avocado cream, Gillette 7 o'clock yellows in a Gillette Fatboy, 3 passes. An absolutely effortless totally smooth shave which lasts for at least 12 hours before making a reappearance.
I am very disappointed, because I feel my new found hobby now cannot be bettered. At least part of what we are interested in is the pursuit of the perfect shave. When you have it, you know it.
I have a drawer full of razors and blades I don't ever feel the need to try, but I probably will keep on trying them all out just in case..
