I initially had a mach 3 and gel, which caused me serious issues with ingrown hairs, so I thought I would tintersearch why, and I found what they do to your skin........ So I opted for a DE, still using the gel or canned goop, but when I was out buying canned goop I found a cheap synthetic brush and soap, that cost less than the goop and being a poor student thought hey why not, it worked for the olden guys and went for it. I was still getting the odd ingrown hair and found it was likely by blade was clogging and causing the hair to pull out, so I decided I had to find a way to rectify this so went hunting and found an article somewhere that said this wasn't an issue with a straight razor and that there is a much cleaner gentler shave, so I decided that was where I was going, my uncle gave me an old shavette, I used it for a couple of months then bought a real straight, because I figured, just onwe outlay and i'm done, and loving it, but now I buy soaps when I can, scents when I can yadda yadda, yes I am acquiring an aquisition disorder, but I've also realised how much better it is for yonder environment, which makes me happy
