Revisiting the Double Edge
Packing for a short vacation, I had to decide between a double edge (Merkur Progress), and one of my straight razors. I thought for simplicity I would take the Merkur. It has been over a year since I have shaved with the double edge I used for over 9 years. When I moved from the DE to a straight I thought of it as an evolution, an advancement going backward so to speak. Wrong! It was a pleasant (Feather Blades) and quick shave. The only thing lacking was the thrill of using a straight.
