Bushmills, I think it's like leaving a girlfriend. You have to remember why you don't like her/it? I've had the same experience. When I switched to using shaving soap, I could shave against the grain for the first time. But the bottom line is still that I don't want to pay for any more mach 3's, just to throw them out. That, and what successes I've had with the straight are even better than with the mach 3.
