Not exactly true, I find with experience that I can be pretty fast if I need to be.

Well the two things go together, every brewing forum I'm a member of has a thread on it.

Yeah, I agree that place is a bit strange. I stuck with the shave clinic and got some tips when I swapped over. It's a good place to get a fast response and they're really helpful. I found <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="www.theshavingroom.co.uk">www.theshavingroom.co.uk more my speed but am happy with my shave so don't have much more need for either of them.

I've switched to DE wet-shaving a month ago. For many long years my neck has been red, sensitive, and gotten ingrown hairs. My only control of this was to shave about twice a week. Because safety razors lobs off the hair at skin surface, intead of pulling the folicle up then cutting, ingrown hairs are cured and the skin is no longer irritated. After so many years of just accepting this to clear it up was a revelation. But because the stuble is cut evenly at the surface it will grow out faster than your mach3. However, for the first time ever I could shave everyday. I don't plan to, but it's nice to have the option if I'm stepping out with my lady.

Agreed, it's a revelation to find that the irritation and little spots are due to the multiblades and once you change and do it correctly the problem goes away.

If anyone is looking for a really sweet razor that is safe as and not very aggressive at all, give a vintage Gillette Rocket a go. I got a Gillette HD Rocket that used to belong to my father in law and it's the one I go for if I'm in a hurry as it's practically impossible to cut oneself with.
