Yeah it's great and it's easy to clean.
And If I dont feel like shaving, I use it without any guide for my face (kind of give a next day shave look).

That's kinda like a five o'clock shadow.

Syl, I've found the perfect forum for you. They even named it after you and have a picture of you as their logo:

Also, I'm thinking about trying some of this:

I can't take full credit for that one, I pinched the basis for it from wfs1234.

Ran across this make-your-own-sampler site today, looks like a pretty sweet deal if there's a specific set of blades you want to try: http://tryablade.com/

I'm still diggin' those Astra blades you sent me, the_carl. Thanks.

I'm almost hesitant to try the Feathers. Although, I did pick up a pack of Derby blades to try in between.

I've been trying to switch over to straight edge shaving, but I might lack the patience to make the conversion. It seems like my blade isn't sharp enough to cut hairs effectively, but it's sharp enough to cut my thumb/face, so it's probably just an extreme lack of technique. :lol:

Yeah, straight shaving is a bigger commitment/major production. Although some dudes like the whole ritual of it.

I think I'm a little too lazy in my grooming habits to take that plunge. Yeah, blade maintenance is a big part of it.

Dude get feathers, they're awesome.
Actually they're kind of a good trainer for getting straight edge techniques down.
They're dangerous sharp, but once you get that weightless touch...smooth. :thumb:

I just got this.

Not as thick as the Weleda shaving cream, but very nice so far.
