I used to agree. I have all the high end kit - assembled over years of trial and error.
My razor is a German-engineered safety razor, with platinum coated suicide-style blades, as sharp as anything and keep their edge for ages. I use a premium shaving oil and Geo. Trumper shaving soap, applied with a genuine badger-hair shaving brush (sorry, badgers). I use hot towels appropriately, use a pore-closing astringent afterwards, and an eye-wateringly expensive aftershave balm.
I am good at shaving, (and incidentally, as metrosexual as Beckham's sarrong). But after a while, even all that is bulls**t. Bulls**t.
And it's not as if I've arrived at all that lot by accident. I've tried every shaving lubricant going, from creams to oils to foams to soaps. I've used every razor from a 10p Orange Bic, to a Mach II, Mach III, Mach IV, Mach V, Mach n, Mach n+1, Remington Electric, Wet-use electric thing you take in the shower (the pinnacle of shavebulls**t). Everything. There is literally no product you could suggest which could unbulls**t shaving.
BULLSHIT. And so are beards.
