re: Jeremy's Razors...I wanted to like it.

I’ve been buying disposable razors for about 15 years like an absolute retard

I really need to get a straight razor

Spoken like someone who sits down to pee

Ahh yes. There's the virtual signaling simp who's never seen a vagina irl.

Might as well just pay for pussy, son, it's clear nobody's giving it to you.

Well I just turned 74 and I’m still fricking so I have that going for me.

But I have paid for pussy. We all have.

I'd like build the first mutual fund that's composed entirely of anti-ESG companies.

I mean, the numbers don't lie. Politically neutral company stocks outperform companies that try to increase their ESG score.

The average price of a Superbowl ad in 2021 was 5.5 million for 30sec. If I were a shareholder, my first question is how many extra razors this ad is selling, regardless of trans/animalistic/super straight the message is. If it doesn't sell more product, it's a waste of shareholder money/profit. But we know it's not about that. That is the core of the problem in publicly traded companies, and it didn't come from within their own accounting departments. ESG or die!

I get that. But this wasn’t about gender identity, ethnicity, race. It was just a commercial targeted at their core consumer, men, and how men can pay attention and elevate themselves.

I don’t see the offense. Is it a slippery slope to the other mentioned ? Perhaps. To sell razors? Not really. Just a social awareness from a corporate ad team. It happens all the time for whatever cause-religion, national disaster, abandoned dogs. It’s no different and I just think it’s a bit presumptuous to be so entitled that we are hurt and angry or claim to be.

This isn’t woke. Bud Light is woke. Big difference.

It's the way to go. This is what I have been using for years:

I’ve used a Merkur Futur on its most wide-open setting for about 8 years now almost exclusively. I have a Muhle r41 as well because I really hate the polished handle- gnarled is just so much nicer to hold. I’ve let my facial hair grow as long as about 6 weeks with just keeping the edges of it neatly trimmed, but once I’ve had enough, this thing can take me down to smooth about as quickly as it gets rid of day-old stubble. The r41 has a reputation as one of the most aggressive razors in existence, but I don’t think there’s a comparison between the two.the Futur is more aggressive with a bigger blade gap, and there are a fair number of videos that comment on how little “tugging” there is with it vs the r41 just due to the weight of the thing.

Great razor- there is a knockoff version from China for half or less of Merkur’s price- never touched one.
Most the places to get info will knock razors made of “pot metal” instead of stainless steel (or, heaven forbid, rhodium-plated or some other “nice” metal), and these are two of them. But I’m not really interested in “prestige” and find them plenty practical enough and, while on the higher end of price for a razor, worth the money and reasonable.


I did, for some reason, decide to buy the stupid thing in gold though. There was once a gold brush that matched it that hasn’t been in stock and rarely pops up on eBay. I want that stupid thing.

Shave every day. Period.

Best Double Edge Safety Razors

Made the switch a few years ago and haven’t looked back. Save a ton of money (10-15 cents a blade) and actually enjoy shaving now. Way less irritation.
