Good idea, I meant to add if you go to the site below, copy/paste in the link above and select dailymotion as the source, you can directly download the whole episode to your PC - it's about 209Mb.

Cool video. I cringed every time I saw those electric and cartridge razors though (which was about 2/3 of the video
). Still very interesting to watch.

Did you notice the way they were stropping the straight near the start (about 10 mins in)? I was cringing as they rolled it on the blade edge after each stroke, clearly not a shaver demonstrating it!

Nice. I like how the basic conclusion was that there's nothing better than a straight razor shave, even if the technology has advanced. Lots of good information there. 130miles of hair over ones lifetime? That's alot of hair.

I think the $10k in a lifetime on razor paraphenalia if you go the disposable route was even more an eye opener.

I'm glad I'm still under a G for all razor-related purchases. That brush from Matt may get me over the edge though lol.
