The members of the forums have seen this photograph before Mark but I just want to post it again to show you why I don't believe cartridge systems deliver the best shave. I too believed the hype from the many companies, before I had my DE/SE epiphany two years ago.

Between the ingredients in pressurised cans, multiple blades equating multiple passes, and clogging issues, I tried, as I mentioned previously, many cartridges systems because they all told me of the great advancements and improvements they would make. I was suckered in like everyone else. Price was never an issue, I just wanted a clean and comfortable shave. I understand they do work for the mass majority but I believe if made aware of the alternatives and results ( and price!) that would be enough to change their minds.
Two shaves in with a DE and that was gone from my life. As far as I'm concerned, there's no point in reinventing the wheel.
