By the way, how explosive do explosives have to be to be considered "high" explosives?
High explosives consist of materials that typically combine the reacting elements in the same molecule. This allows them to react much faster, and they “detonate.” Detonation involves supersonic shock waves that pass through the material, causing chemistry that happens quite a bit faster than burning. High explosives do not need to be contained to make their bang. Nitroglycerine, trinitrotoluene, and RDX are high explosives. Los Alamos National Laboratory is engaged in important research into high explosives and has been recognized for making them environmentally cleaner and more stable, which means safer.
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.
