Thread: Forgotten DE pleasures

Hello everyone,
Having spent the last 4/5 months trying to perfect my skills with a straight ,it was a very pleasant change of direction this week as I found myself too short on time to use the straight and had to use my Parker Knightsbridge Butterfly DE razor for two shaves on the trot.
This is a quality razor that I bought and used for 2 months prior to taking up the straight.
I started using Merkur super platinum stainless blades back then but lately have changed to Derby Extra super stainless.
I found the Merkurs a little harsh somehow ,but the Derbys are super smooth and comfortable.
The shaves although alot quicker were far closer than I remember and I ended up with very smooth shaves indeed!
I remembered when I first started wetshaving and it took me back.What a feeling.
Yep-there's alot to be said for the D/E!

Kind regards
