I agree wholeheartedly.Hi Tom
That's where these Hollow Ground Blades come into their Own..Comfort is the Operative word here..Factory Disposable Blades are Fine & Dandy but like anything Else that is Disposable there is No Relationship or Attachment that You get with a Natural Steel Blade that you have Honed & Sharpened..
All things Disposable were Thrust upon the Modern World by Manufacturers because they are Cheaper to Produce & Don't Demand Skilled labour..Most Folks are Happy with Instant Gratification & Ease of Use..Convenience Doesn't Mean its a Better Product..Usually the Opposite..
Of Course Most Folks would Rather Watch Football or East Benders than Spend some Quality Time Honing their Own Blades & Reaping the Rewards..
The Irony is of Course that we Live in the Age of Modern Lapping Film & Synthetic Stones that have made the Job of Honing & Sharpening Less Hassle..

I love the ethos of these. This makes sense. The plastic cartridges don't.
As a race, humans need to grow up.
I love the fact that it doesn't get thrown away.
I enjoy sharpening knives, I don't throw them away.
I prefer to fix things.
DE and SE / injector blades are pretty darn good though eh?
Next to no packaging and throw something that gets recycled anyway.
(I also like that I don't have to spend money)
Right, so, wedges it is.
Let's see how we get on with it.
I have been looking forward to this time for quite a while.
