The wet shaving community treats a morning shave the way a coffee person treats pour-over: the process is the point. Someone who has abandoned their cartridge razor for a double-edge knows the pleasure of a properly loaded brush, a soap that actually lathers, and an alum block that tells them honestly how their technique is progressing. These picks come from the forums where people debate blade sharpness by brand and country of origin.
