Today.....
I went back to my Mach 3. I must stress, not out of choice.
I woke up in a mad rush, and had to be out of the door in about an hour. As I'm slightly OCD about keeping my razors clean post shave, I knew I wouldn't have the time to shave, and give the razor the scrub down it deserves.
In the bathroom was my Tabac sample I have, and my brush, and my Mach 3 I hadn't used since before Christmas, so I just used all of these things due to time restraints and general laziness :icon_razz:
The cartridge had been in use for about a month before it retired into the little pot in my bathroom, so had it's fair share of shaves previously.
The Result:
Today, I realised that the biggest improvement from the dark days of shaving, comes from the preparation. The only difference to what I used to do pre-DE, was the preparation, using the soap and brush, and the difference is amazing. The shave was the closest I ever had with a cartridge, and very very comfortable and very quick, too.
Now, I enjoy shaves with my EJ the most, and do get a very good result IMHO. But today showed me that I can still get a good, enjoyable shave with my Mach 3, and that when going on holidays I wouldn't really need to take a DE and spend ages fannying around cleaning it post shave. I'll probably buy some disposables, and just take a good soap and brush, and still get a shave I'm happy with.
Sorry, please don't ban me :angel::icon_razz:
