Traditional DE Shaving - save £££s!

Sick of paying £10 for a pack of 4 mediocre Fusion blades, only to get an average shave and ingrown hairs?
Then switch to traditional wet shaving, with a double-edged razor, Badger-hair brush and some quality shaving soap/cream (none of the canned gel crap you get from Boots)
Not only will you be opened to a whole new world, you will get FAR better shaves, and more importantly, save LOADS on blades.
It is also very indulgent, and shaving will become something you will look forward to!
DE (or double-edged) blades cost 20-30p each, and will last 3-4 shaves!
I switched a year ago and have never looked back. Don't get sucked in by all the advertising and gimmicks with today's razors. Get a Merkur HD (about £20) and you'll use it for life.
Some great links:
Have fun,
John
