    Careful, dem wimmins have been known to appropriate shaving gear... first it's "Can I borrow your soap?" or you wonder why your soap is being worn away so quickly... then it's "Would you like to try shaving my legs with that thing?" or your pre-stropped razor isn't shaving as smoothly as you know it should..

    I don't know.. the edge is the edge. The major difference is that you can strop these things.

    Yes, and the consensus is using very little and spreading it thoroughly is the way to go.

    Absolutely, why didn't I put it like that?
