Quickie shaveblogging update
Back at this post I mentioned getting a Schick Quattro Titanium in the mail. Verdict thus far: Not great. Very uncomfortable the first day using my usual Noxzema-in-a-can. Next two days a gel worked better, but still hurt the further down my neck it went. Maybe my face has gotten all wussy from using a single blade, but I don't think so. I use my old Sensor Excel twin blade every now and then and that feels fine. Nice and close though, on the cheeks anyway; either it sucks on the neck or it hurts too much down there to do a proper job.
Tomorrow I'm using cheap-ass Barbasol and then I'll have a go with the Alba junk.
