I mean it always sucked when I used mach 3, ultras, atras, disposables, etc why should it be any different? I used to use disposables on the weekend or when I had time just to give my face a break from the torture of using the braun when I was in a hurry... and I even "wetshaved" using a brush and soap with my disposables and I considered using the cheap disposables as a "luxury" shave compared to what I was used to normally.
Obviously shaving was *supposed* to suck and was my penance for being lucky enough to have a penis.
The day I shaved with my feather for the first time without nicking myself was also the day I put the braun in the trash can. All my disposables followed the braun into the trash and I had to resist the urge to pee on them when I threw everything away.
