My favorite shave forum – the Shave Nook – is a busy place. So busy they posted more than 10K new posts while I was away for a couple of weeks…

An interesting razor I stumbled over online; the design of the head seems to be an attempt to combine the stiffness of the safety bar with a sort of open comb – looks to me like you could get copious quantities of lather sliding under the blade between the three raised segments.
Also seems to me like a workable suggestion for a 3D-printed razor-head – less fiddly bits to break.

Here is a brain teaser: if ‘modern’ cartridge razors and canned goo is so convenient, why do so many of my co-workers choose to NOT shave while on deployment?
