Been gone awhile but still using my Merkur 34c. I only use a fusion if I'm in a hurry to get rid of the trouble spots quickly at the end. The best part is besides the initial investment of razor, Vulvix super badger, 100 pack of blades and Poraso, I've only spent 20 dollars on 2 more tubes of Poraso in the past 2 years. Not to mention the absolutely irritation free shave. I don't think I'll ever go back to carts full time again.
