We have different shaving goals then. Yours is to get BBS smooth. Mine is to have an enjoyable and comfortable shave.
I can get an irritation free shave going against the grain with any razor. But I pay for it with ingrown hairs two days later. Makes me look like a teenage acne commercial.I understand.
But I do enjoy my shaves immensely, especially since getting off carts.
Perhaps you could get closer shaves, still irritation free, going AGT with a much more mild or forgiving razor?
@Darkbulb mentioned it some posts back.Where's the Schick Krona?

What all the fuss is about this razor recommendation.
Get any old straight razor and you are ready to go.

Because it's posted in the DE razors forum?
(Oops..one of my recommendations was a SE...)
And if he wants recommendation for SE and straight then he need to post in two more treads
You guys always deviate from the topic, and no moderator screams for discipline.... I like that about this forum
But it rases a question indeed, now that some SE's are and will be available as new: Should a SE razor be recommended instead of a DE razor - for a beginner?

I have recommended to people that they stick with their cartridge razor for a while and change to soap and brush and proper prep and post care first. After all, even I can get a great shave with a cartridge razor - even if it is a bit joyless.Because it's posted in the DE razors forum?

No point in throwing a brand new Gillette Flexball and 20 cartridges into the bin. (Should anyone consider doing this, send them to me instead for responsible disposal)
What exactly is a Cartridge Razor please?
I agree that price is usually a consideration for a razor recommendation. My first razor was a DE89 that was a gift from my wife and it is in my DOPP kit to this day. I don't give a rip that it is Zamak. It does what it was designed to do, remove whiskers. I have given razors to newbies before, such as a Krona, Flare Tip, and a New LC. With proper instruction, any one of these razors will work just fine. I think we tend to take ourselves too seriously. It's just shaving, it isn't rocket science. Have fun!
@Dave-the-rave this one's for you[emoji1]
