The key is to get a decent hand razor (Mach 3 or whatever) and shave in the SHOWER. Opens the pores up - I get a smooth, irritation-free shave every time.

How many damn blades can we PUT on razors nowadays? I'm waiting for the 300-blade version that a professional crew has to come and install in your bathroom. You then just walk up to it and rub your face up and down across a screen of razor blades.

Actually my Dr. said to avoid the multi-blade razors. He said 1 or two blades at most, anything more is just overkill and a marketing gimmick.

Seriously though, how many blades on a razor do you need? Seems like every year they throw an extra blade on.
