Got tired of paying high prices on razor blades, using disposables was wasteful, and the exponentially increasing number of blades wouldn't get under my nose.
Switched to an old school Gillette Tech safety. Switched to Barbasol instead of the thicker stuff. Shaves better, cheaper, just as fast. No stupid rituals required. No shaving soap, mug, bristle brush or horseshit required. (I do recommend starting with one of the combo packs of razors to find the one you like).
I even shave my balls with it.
My son has his own tech, and has never tried any of the goofy 'modern' crap.
This was a solved problem nearly 100 years ago. Funny how marketing works.
The Tech is my favorite also! I have a couple handles, and the Tech may have been the last one because it seemed liked everyone was always calling it "too mild" or that our clogged too fast because the gap was too small.
It is the smoothest, most gentle, and least fussy handle I've got.
I had been so excited to get a Slim Adjustable, the most expensive of my collection, and that thing shreds me on any setting. ๐ฎโ๐จ
The boar brush was nice when I shaved my whole beard, I liked the sensation, but it is fussy.
