I started off with an old Gilette double edged "saftey razor," went to a straight razor, my grand dads (big mistake), Schick injector, Remington elecrtic, Gilette Track II, then finally to a Norelco triple header. I have a super tought beard, with the Track II I only got ONE shave per blade, so it put me in the poor house. I tried everything on the market as a soap/lather, best I ever had was a produce called "Baby Face," had baby oil in it. I just got hooked on it, and for some reason they yanked it off the market. Been using the Norelcos for about six years now, and I am more than happy. I use Mennen Pre and after shave, make for a close and quick shave. No hot water, no drips, just apply pre shave, buzz the whiskers off, a dab of after shave, and I am good to go. I have never done it while driving, as some idiots do, but have while my wife drives. Try that with a blade...

i'm not clear under what circumstances one would find the bacterium / spores on a razor. unless it wasn't cleaned before use.

where's the science?



oh yeah. I forgot that the tetanus bacterium is anaerobic. blush

Injun blood is what keeps the braves from needing to shave, and what keeps the squaws growing mustaches and sideburns.

"...a few passes..."

Only a few? Tough as my beard is, I have to swoop all over the place numerous times. Still beats scraping in three different directions with a blade...
