Proraso products are cheap and they last for a long time. Beside the quality of a DE shave is way better than a modern cart shave.
I don't know if a DE is better than a cartridge for the average person. I personally have not tried those cartridges, so it's hard for me to argue. But they must deliver a good shave for most men, otherwise more would go looking for an alternative, right?
Marketing only goes so far when your product is lacking.
A DE is better, the shaves I get I could dream about them. I remember my first DE experience. 34C HD, Derby blade, TOBS Jermyn Street. I was blewn away by the results even while I lacked a lot of experience and skills. I managed to get BBS on my cheeks.I don't know if a DE is better than a cartridge for the average person.

Gillette makes no money selling double edge safety blades...those cartridge razors at $30 a month in blades is good business. Methinks their greed is speaking here.

What I wonder is; why did you move *from* the Trac II?I started with a trac II, went to a mach 3, then went back and forth between fusion/fusion power and quattro, then ultimately back to mach 3. I am new to wet shaving so the mach 3 has a place on my counter for the near future. As far as upgrading, that's a negative.
Gillette has taken the "new and improved" approach to advertising. Anything that is labeled new and improved is supposed to trigger an impulse to buy it.

I fear that you're right; an enjoyable shave is probably not important to most people.Unfortunately it is for a large part a disposable society, for that reason (and being convenient to buy, effortless to use) people will not look for an alternative. Even if they are getting mediocre shaves.
It is a race to the bottom of the barrel.
Actually, they make money selling double edge razor blades from Astra and many other companies--as they own them. It's quite surprising because Gillette makes one of the best double edge razor blades.
Wise words... I cannot explain better.Ment for the ill informed, gadget generation.
