I would try buying an omega boar and some van der hagen from CVS to give the bowl lather a try. Mitchell's will be cheaper but I cannot vouch for it since I haven't tried. Use your cartridge with the combo and see how you like it.

Angels won't sing when you use it, but it is fun and IMO produces a better end result. It doesn't add that much time to your day.

You will find out if this if interesting to you or not. Think of it like cooking, fast and easy always works but add some steps and do it the long way and you'll end up with a much better result. It will turn a chore into a hobby.

From there you can decide on equipment and trying soaps, aftershaves, etc... It's fun to explore and find out what you like.

Feel free to message for advice!
well said, coming from a guy who likes to cook and recently picked up this new 'hobby' as well!
