Yes Alan, I agree it's a disturbing thought, the idea being how popular those goofy looking 1912ish shaving contraptions are. How much better the shave is.....or so it seems.
Not to offend any members of course, but I think what's been happening for a while, the intruding into normal shaving life, had occurred yet again. It's them fellers with those old timey contraptions once more........wait, I have an example. They are sorta like the Tea Party of shavers...y'all know bout them?
Difference being this SE thing is run more like a cult. Yep, there's a few High Priests and a LOT of disciples. Yep, they all get together and make lots of noise, but thank God there ain't too many of em. SE razors DO provide better shaves than a DE razor......but only for some people. Some meaning the minority.......the small band of crazies. Some can even be likeable, but still nuts.
Hope that helps explain the situation as I see it. Once again, no offense meant to the few goofballs who use those ridiculous looking things.
