Meanwhile, wet shaving trend is coming back into focus as well. DE razors and straight razors are getting wildly popular and I must admit -- I paid $90 about 4 years ago and I still have enough blades for another 5 years of shaves. The soap/cream is dirt cheap and lasts an incredibly long time too. To top it off, I even have a lifetime supply of cheaper blades my wife can use.<p>I'm not sure why anyone would want to use any of the modern razors when the old school method works so well and is so dirt cheap.<p>Gillette is not the best a man can get (unless we're talking about their 7 O'Clock Super Platinum [1] or Silver Blue[1] DE blades which are pretty nice)<p>It's weird to think that I'm shaving like my grandparents used to. One of my grandfathers was a barber and I'm sad his old gear was thrown out before I had a chance to find it....<p>I also recall remodeling a wall behind a bathroom in my childhood home and finding hundreds of razor blades stashed in the wall because the old medicine cabinets used to have a slot to dispose of your blades. That always seemed like a bad idea to me because we had tornadoes...<p>I guess I'll stop waxing nostalgic now :-)<p>[1] <a href="http://www.westcoastshaving.com/Gillette-7-OClock-Super-Platinum-Double-Edge-Blades-Black-100-Blades_p_523.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.westcoastshaving.com/Gillette-7-OClock-Super-Plat...</a><p>[2] <a href="http://www.westcoastshaving.com/Gillette-Silver-Blue-Double-Edge-Razor-Blades-100-Blades_p_1695.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.westcoastshaving.com/Gillette-Silver-Blue-Double-...</a>
