Since last summer I gave up on Mach 3's and started into the world of DE shaving. Got a blade sampler pack, a decent badger hair brush and have gone through various soaps and creams. My experience of shaving has gone from a chore into a hobby. I get closer and with less burn. I now look at shaving gear in the same way that I ogle bike parts.
As a sort of stepping stone toward straight razor shaving I started using a shavette a couple of months ago. Some say it's not quite the same as using a real straight but it's still a lot closer than using a normal double edged razor. It's great fun and I think I'm ready to try a straight - the holy grail of shaving. Don't want to spend too much as there many vintage "shave ready" ones on the bay, but there is just too much choice.
