While the traditional safety razor has been enjoying a resurgence of popularity lately, it is no spring chicken. Since the early part of the 1900s, men have discovered the benefits of this ingenious tool. Not only are you partaking in a rite of passage enjoyed by men throughout the ages, but you are also getting the best shave of your life. The closeness of a one blade shave is arguably the best you can get. And with only a single blade touching your face, you get less irritation. If that wasn't enough, it is also cheaper than a cartridge and less waste for the environment. What more could you want!?!?
