What type of razor do yall use? I remember a thread a while back where everyone was raving about a single blade razor of some sort? Is this worth giving a shot? If so which one should I go with?

Rockwell T2. It’s the best razor I’ve ever owned and they have solid customer service. I dropped it and it broke and they replaced it for free.

I was given a Feather DE razor as a gift. It’s absurdly expensive (approximately $200), but the most comfortable shave I’ve ever had. I’m sure you can find a great DE for far less than $200. But if you have the money to spend, the Feather is great. The good news is you recoup the expense by paying little to nothing for the blades compared to cartridge blades

I tried that recently. I remember what the nicks were, but not enough for a transfusion.

Feather blades are no joke. I use a Meeker DE and Feather blades. When I started using a double edged razor, a friend gave me some Feather blades. My face looked like I shaved with lawnmower. Now, they give the best shave, hands down. If I recall correctly, Feather also makes surgical scalpels. So they know how to make a nice blade.

I have a Merkur 34C. It gets the job done. For blades, I like Feather and Kai. Apparently they are the sharpest, but if you have sensitive skin, they may be a little harsh. Personnas and Derby are a little smoother, but not as sharp.

If you want to take it to the next level, buy a brush, some shaving soap, and choose a decent aftershave splash. You’ll never go back.

This is the correct answer. Switched from Mach 3 about 4 or 5 years ago and never looked back. Save a ton of money (blades are 10 cents a piece), have a closer shave and way less irritation.

I recommend transitioning to a 23c. That’s what I started with since it has a lighter more hollow handle similar to the Mach 3. Use a 34c everyday now.

I actually really enjoy shaving now.
