Attention all shavers everywhere: it's a shaving razor user
experience extravaganza! Tim Keirnan is joined by four count 'em
FOUR co-hosts in this special extended edition of Design Critique.
Mike Beasley, Dave Mitropoulos-Rundus, John Rivard, and Rodney
Hampton donate their time, their insights, their humor, and their
razors to a freewheeling discussion of razor design.
What makes for a good shaving razor design? What defines a good
shaving experience? What is it about Mike's t-shirt that makes
passersby ask him "What is usability?" as he saunters down the
street? Why did Rodney switch to a straight razor, and how
difficult is it to use? How to be green and save money on your
shaving tools...You'll hear all this and more. Ladies, we don't
mean to exclude you and some of the content may apply to your
world, too.
Here are Rodney's suggested shaving links:

As per Rodney, look on YouTube for some intriguing videos of single
blade and straight razor shaving. There are alternative to the
current multi-bladed cartridge razors.
