Hey guys;
I just ordered a Merkur HD34C razor off Amazon today, and a box of 100 Personna double edge blades today, I'm gonna try my hand with the type of razor my grandfather used. Reason; I'm tired of the ever-advancing shaving technology of cartridge blades, and the ever increasing prices of cartridge blades. 5, 6, 7, 8 blades, do they give you much better than the other, besides razor burn and nicks under the chin? Sorry Gillette, but I'm done. I bought a box of 100 Personna double edge in the blue box for $11.53, which translates to .11 cents per blade. The Merkur was $34, together not much more than a single pack of Fusion pro glide, the Personna blades alone less than a 5 pack of Mach 3 cartridges. Gonna give DE shaving a shot, will let you all know. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks, Brian
