What the article below brings home to me is that many cartridge razor shavers put off trying safety razor shaving as they confuse it with straight razor shaving. Comparably speaking, plain safety razor shaving is not difficult or complicated to master. I suppose most things in life get simpler and easier with a little practice… even golf.
It’s funny how a lack of patience has fostered the disposable way of life which is a very profitable business (equals expensive to consumers) yet marketing reinforces the message to ‘dumb us down’ into thinking it is actually better and better for us.
