Since early 2013. I finally switched from Fusion to DE after doing some research and reading that single blade razors are less irritating to the skin than cartridges.

They're also less irritating on the wallet. Big Grin

I was referring to just the blades vs. cartridges.  Everything else is, as you say, debatable. Wink

that's probably true. heck, you can get 1,000 Astra SP blades from Amazon for just over $100. Those 1,000 blades should last you around 10 years.

True, but if I've spent more on DE razors and blades than I would have on cartridges, it's not by much. Soaps, on the other hand...

I guess the only downside to traditional wet shaving is finding the right combo for your face. once you find the right combo that works for your shaves, you could sell off everything else. of course we know MOST wet shavers don't do this. hahaha
