    Perhaps, change your paradigm and ask yourself, should I be looking for a better job that will not only allow, but require me to straight shave frequently?

    Seriously, though. Yeah. the clogging.

    I still hang onto my cartridge to finish up some really awkward growth at the neckline that I just haven't figured out the right angles(pun,,,nyuk, nyuk).

    Cheers,

    ok i think im gonna do like suggested and try out a de before ditching the straight.

    i think i like the 3 piece over the butterfly for its less moving parts and being less likely to loosen up.

    should i get an aggressive or mild cutter for thick hairs on a thick beard? i also have sensitive face skin if that matters (which is the whole reason for getting away from cartridges).

    can i get a variety pack of blades? i see a blade can make or break the razor as well so i need to find one that suits my face better.

    I think a Slant razor (Merkur) maybe a good choice, love mine, an aggressively Smooth shavers.
    I'd definitely get a variety pack, every ones skin is different and a blade that suits you will be easier to pin down.
    I use Feather (Yellow pack), and Astra platinum (green pack), Also tried Personna and they seem to be nice
