I had been shaving using a Schick "Quattro" razor (suggested by Iggy)

The steel content is all those razor blades.

Schick quit making refill cartridges for the variety (forget the
advertising name for it) some time ago and the ridiculously expensive
and bulky alternatives now available were totally unpalatable to me so
I've reverted to the single blade double-edge safety razor of yore (not
_quite_ back to the straight razor started with ). With it and a
Wilkinson blade (metal) with either Barbasol or Noxema aerosol foam it's
as good as the multi-edge as far as I can tell (or at least care about)...


I used to use the Barbasol as well. I should try it again.


Years ago I thought my teen daughter was spending to much on fancy
shaving cream for her legs, I bought her an 88 cent can of Barbasol.
It didn't take.
