It's odd isn't it? I mean when you really think about it it seems that a LOT of us are brainwashed into using junk, I mean I was NEVER taught how to shave so. And back in the day, fathers would teach sons how, and with the good stuff like DE's and Straights. These day's ppl think things are going so fast that they don't have the time to learn, when in fact we have time we just don't make it...instead of couch potato-ing one could very well learn how to shave proper with far better equipment.
I regret that I was never taught how to shave, and alas I don't have a son to teach when he gets older, but I have a daughter and extremely likely my wife will teach her with either a DE or a Straight razor and avoid the mishaps and bad technique caused by plastic junk and lack of knowledge.
I think we would be better off if all the junk was swept aside and DE and Straight razors became the dominant choice, less expensive for one as $28 for like 5-8 cartridges for a Fusion is CRAZY compared to around $5 for a 10 pack of Feather DE blades, or the pretty much zero cost of a Straight, hones and strops in the long run.
