I'm a Dutchie of middle age (how awful this sounds.....) and been wetshaving since my student time, but always with cartridges. About 8 years ago I switched from canned goo to brushes and soap. But - I was limited to the supermarket range. About 3 years ago if found that DE shaving worked better, having pickedup kit on a tripAnd only since 2 months do I go online for finding blades and a plethora on soaps and other choices so having a bit of RBAD, SSAD and ASBAD all at once.
