I have convinced at least one of my coworkers to ditch the cartridge, but he is not comfortable with a straight. I convinced him to try DE, and was wondering if there were any Brick-n-Mortar stores that would sell DE's. I am in the western suburbs of Chicago. I found plenty of stores with blades, but none with razors. Any advice? Also, any place I can walk into and get something to dress a strop I'm about to take the pumice to? I'm looking to get this all done tomorrow, as it is my day off from work. Thanks!
