about to buy a merkur.... though scarabin's thrown me off. how different time-wise are they to a disposable? rather just get that shit done.

@inteliboy
depends on your hair, but not that much once you get used to it.
My first shave was rather long and I though, fuck that shit. But when I learned how to use it...I don't think I'll go back.

hah!
My experience, as taught to me by a former navy barber....
1. soak towel in hot water + a bit of Dr Bronner's Peppermint Soap
2. sit down, drape towel over your face
3. wait a while, meditate, mellow out,listen to dark side of the moon,etc...
4. shave with ALMOST ANYTHING sharper than a butter knifeIt's all in the prep, not the razor..... unless you're an ADHD maniac in a hurry trying to get to a horrible commute to a cube job on time...
* going swimming first or taking a long hot bath may substitute for the hot wet towel....
