I use Dorco blades as well. I would say the quality is 90% what I was getting with the Gillette Fusion I was using before, at 25% of the price.

Safety Razor, nothing better. Takes a bit to get it, but best shave you can get.
Other than the barber shop straight razor that is. |

I'm now learning the art of straight shaving. I switched to safety razors and traditional wet shaving last spring because my face was getting tore up from the cartridge razors. I have really enjoyed learning this old art. Though what was billed as less expensive has turned out not to be for me. Turns out I have an obsession with shaving soaps. Artisan soap companies are popping up left and right with new formulas for better lathers and amazing scents for every kind of event, weather type or whatever mood you happen to be in. But I am excited about my straight. There is a decided learning curve and I am taking my time with it. I am looking forward to becoming proficient with it because I have read from several people that there is no shave like it.

I would like to try the single blade or the straight razor, but since I shave my head like a good Planeteer I think I'd need to buy the cartridges anyway.

From what I've read on the shaving forums the straight shavers say you need 100 shaves before you can claim any kind of proficiency or expertise. I had number 10 last night.

Signed up for Dollar Shave Club over the weekend. I will probably go the full year unless they're terrible.

Remington rotary. 5 yrs on the same blades. I have to shave every other day or it pulls like a bitch. I'd replace the blades, but I may as well buy a new one.
