I am looking at your account name and can't help but wonder, are you russian. If you are then dobro pozhalivat. It's nice seeing a fellow russian enjoying the same things that I do.
I agree with you on that, I just do not have time in the day for that right now, not to fully enjoy it. But I am not necessarily looking for a better shave than my cartridge on a daily basis, more like a cooler more satisfying way to get the same-shave, with the ability to get a better quality shave when I want to put the time (IE a three-pass shave, which would kill my skin on a 5-blade cartridge).

So far my parker shavette style is doing just fine. Definitely still want the real blade option, maybe I will put that on my birthday list .

Ah and Спасибо. Yes my grandfather was russian, my russian is quite incredibly poor unfortunately. I have been a couple times and moved last year to moscow briefly but the poor paying job was not worth the great time I was having so I returned stateside. I would love to make it over again long-term, moscow was great, but also really loved kyiv when I was in ukraine a couple years ago.
