    Cool article John... my brother actually sent that too me about an hour ago and asked me about it. I tried to get him onboard before... maybe it'll sink in this time

    Great article. Who would think a forum about shaving would be so active? This has introduced me to a new world. I've been frustrated with the drug store shaving options for many years now, but never pursued the topic in depth.

    Looking forward to shaving with my likely purchase of a Merkur HD.

    You'll love this hobby.

    I'm almost a year in, and I'm still shocked at how friendly and civilized shaving enthusiasts really are. Great forum.

    Thanks for the welcome, everyone. Very friendly - especially considering that you're all holding sharp objects.

    Perhaps we're friendly *because* everyone else is holding sharp objects.

    Well, some of them are holding Mach 3s.

    Zen Habits has been on my reading list for some time, it's neat to see some overlap.

    Default Thanks for the Zen Habits post!

    Thanks for the post at Zen Habits. That blog has been in my RSS feed for months now, and I'm happy to explore wherever it's posts might lead me. Now I have a new experience to look forward too (DE shaving), and I appreciate all the great information that is available here. What a fantastic resource!

    Many thanks for your fine article. I read it while away from home, and it tipped me over the edge. I finished the article, browsed B&B.com, and ordered a Vision/T&H/Proraso/Carter-and-Bond brush shortly afterwards. I'm still learning, but... wow. The previously tedious morning ritual has now become something I anticipate greatly.

    What happened?!

    Thanks again for taking the time to proselytise. :)

    Great article! I too was drawn to straight razor shaving for all the same reasons he listed. With a little dedicated practice, I hope to be free from cartridge razors altogether soon. Just had my first shave today and it went quite well -- even though it took a lot longer than with the cartridge. The funny thing was I enjoyed it so much more though. Cleared my mind focusing on the task at hand, and it even felt like an accomplishment rather than a daily chore. I'm hooked.
