So yesterday, i got in from work and was due to go out for a meal. Time was tight and as such i didn't have time for my usual straight shave and had resigned to the fact i would have to use my Mach 3 (something i do from time to time due to the fact i still have loads of blades for it).

I got my shower, lathered up and was about to reach for the Mach 3 when, just then i noticed the Gillette DE i had bought a couple of weeks back, and a pack of new blades. With much skepticism i decided to load up a blade and shave with that instead, i didn't for one second think that it would shave better than my zillion blade Mach 3 with it moisturizing strip and all bells and whistles !

Ohhhh how wrong was i, not only did it work, it worked better than the mach 3. It was closer, took less time, needing only 1 pass with a few touch ups. With the Mach 3 i often had to make multiple passes to get those stray hairs !!

So amazing were the results it left me wondering how in hell the manufactures of cartridge razors ever managed to get men to ditch the DE. That is one serious marketing job to sell something that 1) Is much more expensive. 2) Does NOT work as well.

Hats off the marketing people you did a staggering job there! To the men that ditched the DE all those years ago and effectively paved the way to allow the cartridge based system to become the premier method of shaving...............WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING
