This thread got me thinking about shaving. My father used a butterfly safety razor and I've never had as nice of a shave as when I used to steal his razor before I grew up and moved away for good.

Number One Son just graduated from high school so I took that as an opportunity to buy each of us a Merkur and a pack of blades. So far so good. I'm looking forward to experimenting with blades.
Mike, it's still a great experience, I'll never go back to regular blades. Just tried some feather blades and like them, it is interesting that they are quite different than the Merkur's I've been using. Hard to say which I like better. Like learning how to weld, I wish I had been shaving safety since teen years. it's easier, for me anyway, and so much more comfortable. I also like the purity of the lather, the smell, and less packaging waste.

I don't understand the idea that you cut yourself more with safety razors. I've yet to come close to cutting myself.

Hey Dan, I'm not. Out of the shower, lather, shave, rinse and aftershave. Are you recommending one?
