I love the Fusion razor, but since the blades went up and don’t last as long as they used to, they have priced me out of the market.<\/p>\n
Indulge a short ramble if you please:<\/p>\n
When I was growing up in south Florida we had three lawn mowers (four if you count the weed-eater). Each had its own purpose: a riding mower for the bulk of the lawn, an old Hahn-Eclipse push mower for trimming and for down by the canal, and an edger for the sidewalks and driveway.<\/p>\n
You wouldn’t ride by the canal unless you wanted a swim; you wouldn’t do the whole yard with the push mower unless you wanted a coronary. Different tools for different parts of the job.<\/p>\n
Bringing that thought back to the topic, I’ve started shaving most of my face with a high-quality single-blade razor, and reshaving\/trimming with a Fusion. The single blades are very inexpensive, the end result is just as smooth, and the Fusion now lasts about three weeks instead of one. <\/p>\n
One note of caution is that single-blade shaving is an acquired skill– don’t be discouraged if you have problems early on, you will get better. Also, apply aloe before and after; it will make things go more smoothly, especially the medicated aloe used for sunburns. Aloe is inexpensive and available at any grocery or drug store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
