You might find them even more comfortable. If you're used to a Mach3 (not a bad option, as I mentioned) and cheapo shaving cream, you might not even know that there's improvement to be had.

I always use el-cheapo canned shaving cream. I never use aftershave or lotion after shaving. I always shave up against the grain (after shaving down) and never have had razor burn or ingrown hairs.</p> <p>My face always comes out baby-butt smooth. I guess I'm just lucky I don't have to spend a buttload of money to get a good shave.</p> Wow, one mach3 cartridge lasts me at least 6 months. I always use el-cheapo canned shaving cream.

I bet they just shear them like sheep. They don't need the entire length of the hair, so they don't have to get it out perfectly... poor badger.</p> Shaving badgers would certainly be an interesting job… I bet they just shear them like sheep.
