On: Why shaving dulls even the sharpest of razors

[vl]

Safety razor requires more time to shave than cartridge razor because it requires more strokes. But I actually prefer it because usually I don’t shave every day. Cartridge razor clogs up in this case. When I shave every day I use either cartridge razor (Dorco) or wet electrical (Braun 9000). Both work greatly for daily shaving, fail for shaving every few days.

Not sure about that. I generally do 2 passes with both cartridge or safety razor.

I had started with safety razor, then moved to cartridges for many years, and now am back to safety razor, with a better razor.

Safety razor probably take a couple of extra minutes since I'm slightly more careful with it than am with cartridges.

You can get a razor that has 3 blades and uses the standard double edge blades. You just snap them in half inside the wrapping and then load the 1.5 full size razor halves in.
