One blade gets the job done. Do yourself and your woman a favor. Buy a straight razor, some extra blades, and treat yourself to a smooth shave. I started using a straight razor a few months ago. I ordered my straight online and I’ve been impressed with its results. Soon, though, my blade was becoming dull and I didn’t know where to go. Denver only had one place for proper shaving supplies that I could find — the Art of Shaving. Fortunately, there was one near Rochester also. They have straight razors, German-made razor blade packs, shaving cream, and stands. Go treat yourself. Return to fine grooming.
