Sorry to offend you about my shaving choices.



You actually never spoke of your shaving choices. You simply claimed that two razor brands were guaranteed to irritate your face. I didn't have such an experience with either brand. Care to elaborate on your OP?

Gillette pivot plus are the best, just get them on amazon

Tried the safety razor thing, its great if you dont mind going over your face twice.

The hell if I remember given it's been 1-2 years. Both had to do with shaving 2-3 times a week and I obviously go for the short-term plan when experimenting with something like this.

Double edge razor. You can buy 100 of the sharpest blades for $30. You only need one blade. The multiple blade stuff is all marketing.
The initial investment is the razor and the brush. The shaving creams last way longer. I buy a tube once a year. I like to have a couple different types to mix it up.
There are multiple threads on DE shaving if you search.

I would like to try this, but can I shave in the shower with it?


Yes. But need a very grippy razor handle. Remember your wiener is in there too. Need a mirror too. And a brush that won't break. And a rubber mug.

To your OP. I bought DSC. they were just ok. The 6-blade was too much. When you drop to 4, their blades quality drops.

My new favorite when not DE shaving is the Schick Hydro. They are cheaper. But only 3-5 bucks cheaper per large pack.

I do everyday. I used to get in grown hairs bad and tried everything. Haven't had one since I switched. You can get a good razor blades and soap for about 50 bucks. That'll last close to 6 months if you shave everyday. Try Featherlite blades I think they are the best. Brush and shave soap is a personal choice. It takes a few extra minutes in the mornings but so worth it.

If OP wants to go DE I can talk ad nauseum about it. As can many on here.

Agree. I switched 6 years ago because of razor burn and ingrown hairs. I've yet to have either since the switch. I also use feather blades and have found these to be the best.
If you shave everyday you can do it quickly in one pass and get a great shave. I don't shave in the shower.

In my experience, correct. You get what you pay for, despite the clever marketing.


And yet you use a Fusion Proglide.

Honestly, I couldn't tell the difference when I switched between these razors.

I shave three times per week with a plain Gillette double blade disposable and can use one for more than a month without much irritation and the shave is smooth. What am I doing wrong that I don't need a better blade?

Ok I want to try the DE razors. Someone point me in the right direction. (Website)(razors)(shave cream or oil)(brush, cup) and whatever else I would need in my situation.
I have a very sensitive neck. I have thick dark whiskers. I only shave about 3 times a week because of the razor burn.
And I only shave in the shower. I've got a nice big shower with plenty of room and it is much more convenient for me.

It's silly to get advice when all beards are different. I did DSC, but went back to Gillette Fusion. I have a fairly thick beard. About an 8 on a 1-10 scale.

Give them all a shot. You're not obligated, so opting out is easy.
