You answer yourself in your own OP:

The Core and the Genesis are NOT the same razor. The Core's a good travel razor, but I simply cannot get BBS with it. Its cheap, lightweight, and won't break my heart if I lose or break it over the road. Better than a cart, but not the most efficient. It is safe, however. The Genesis, on the...

Apparently not if you think it requires clothes being on and lubricating with shave soap... :p

There is such thing and use for different grades of lubrication, and depending on the job, one part may require swimming in that lubricant, while another only needs to be coated.

I'm practically the only one representing a style of shaving that no one else responding does. If someone else has experience with this style, I'd step down to let them speak. It's like being the only married man in a room full of virgins, debating and explaining that having sex requires the...

Apologies to the innocent. Any 'snarky-ness' was applied and meant for those who were first disrespectful to me and my technique. If someone wants to throw a jab, I'm more than happy to return a left hook. Who said anything about using a mirror? Sense of touch, especially and specifically in...

Perhaps, perhaps not, but is that not better than those here able to make no deductions, or others deducting something is better than that which they have never tried? You would argue based on what? Your use of water only at the sink, or water only in the shower, compared to soap? Or argue...

No worries, I have kids. I'm used to seeing them throwing tantrums and going off subject when the argument is lost... (To their credit, at least children can understand that steam disperses the moment the shower curtain is opened, or that the more slippery something is, the less control one has...

A dry shave will slow down the blade even more, but due to almost zero lubrication, it is likely to skip. The blade is also likely to skip with a lather-less wet shave at the sink, as there is less running water and humidity than in the shower. Lubrication, in this case, water, and to a greater...

I figured you still wanted to talk about your feelings. I'll hold your hand and we can walk through it together. As you feel so triggered about some men being “little”, you have to ask yourself first, why do you feel little? Do you think you're small physically, mentally, or emotionally? Or...

Actually, I never had the need to think of examples such as those until others lacking any experience decided to comment. Clarification for the ignorant is not being insecure. But we can talk more about your feelings if you're desperately feeling the need.

Not really, as a blade still drags against the entirety of the face no matter how much or little one has. Actually, it's more like getting to business without the use of a rubber. People only use one when they don't know what they're doing with filthy, random strangers... Little men need more...

I don't see why. I don't use a cart, and my results remain the same as the OP.

Trust me, what you say may sound plausible in theory is absolutely incorrect in practice. A shave at the sink, even a minute or two out of the shower, is in no way comparable to the quality of shave in the shower; specifically if one is shaving without lather. I can assure you this from the...

There is no substitute to shaving in the shower. Period. However, if you use a soap or canned foam lather in the shower it will be similar to a lather shave at the sink. For a non-lather shave, a shower shave cannot really be replicated. The closest one can get would be to humidify your...

I think I have the point... If you ever feel the need to 'rescue' traditional 'British English' you need look no further for help than from your cousins across the pond. ;)

No, I just don't think your are very consistent or clear in your reasoning. You seem to be upset that common terms in Britain are sometimes replaced or changed. It seems to be okay with you if it was done way back when, as long as it isn't done now. Why, in Britain, is football more defendable...

See, there you go again, blaming 'Americanisms' for what is essentially British... You don't seem to be aware that the word 'pants' was actually coined in Britain in the 1700's, and as such, is another example of how in many cases Americans are often more British than the Brits...

Wait, what is 'British English' anyway? Scots, Welsh, Northern Irish... hell, even separate cities within England proper (or within the city of London itself!) can't seem to agree on the same terms or verbiage in daily speech. Furthermore, in some instances "American English" is more...

C&S O&C is in my top 3 for soaps. As mentioned above, in my experience for whatever reason, samples of soaps very often do not bring out the best measure of a soap. Also, I would note that if you find the performance of Valobra very good but do not find the performance of C&S to measure up, the...
