First impressions are very positive—the razor has a genuinely striking, futuristic design, and the matching stand makes the complete setup look even more impressive. Mike also...
See a lot of folks use Dice to keep track of Blade use, personally I do not using anything but Blade Performance. If I get the feeling on my Face a Blade is going Dull, the number of shave doesn't say keep using it. I let my sixth sense tell me...
I've got 52 blade brands...DE, Gem, AC, and injector. I use DE blades three times, then discard. I strike them with a permanent marker up to three lines. Dice never worked for me, especially if I'm using seven different blades in a rotation.

This week I am using a couple of special items. The razor was my Dad's. It is a Schick E3. I remember him shaving with it. He passed away in 1997. It has a wooden handle that he made for it. The old handle must have failed. This inspired me such...
