DE shaving, as said above, is purely a tiny, niche market. For example, the ONLY store in our area that even carries a DE razor is a beauty supply that caters to licensed cosmetologists only. Not sure why but they carry a cheap ($12) DE razor, and also carry Derby and Personna blades. The point is that wet shaving in general may be growing, but it's microscopic in the scheme of things. I elec shaved for 30+ years, like my dad. then I shaved with a cartridge for 1 month. With both methods my shaves were adequate, but my face ALWAYS hurt. With my DE razor, barely any discomfort. What I'm saying is that its a personal choice and that always means a tiny market.
