Prisoner of the Gillette corperation

of which I am not.  Ditching the disposable blades has been a goal of mine for years.

My father has used a double edged razor for as long as I can remember.  Ironically he uses the original Gillette safety razor and its been in continual use in my family for a 100 years.  I remember trying to use it when I was a teenager and giving myself the worst shaving cut I've had in my life....  I have been hesitant to retry since.

I have been using a double edged razor exclusively for 6 months now and I am finally getting the hang of it.  It does take a few minutes longer than a normal shave but the difference is pretty negligible and I urge all men to at least give it a try.  I will be detailing more aspects of shaving and skin care in coming days.

For now I am just going to enjoy the baby bottom smoothness of the 5 pass shave I just had.  mmmmm.
