I sure did start for the ease of it. No more going to the stores to buy cartridges. No more treating razor bumps. I most certainly did it for the ease of shaving. As far as homing goes it’s extremely easy I have it done by a pro I like. Now I agree if you like the edges off of a coticule. Then good for you. I personally haven’t met the coticule that delivers the shave I look for. But everyone’s face is different. If I had a sensitive face with peach fuzz they may work. I love these coticule threads they are like tape or no tape. Brings out all the pithy people. Tc
