I always got a close shave with real soap and a cart. The problem was after about two or three shaves I looked like I was 14 yrs old again. The bumps on my chin were horrific and many. Took several days for them to heal and disappear.

If I cannot shave with a SR or a DE, then it was not to be. No more carts. YMMV
