Safety Razors are life changing

I made the switch a few months ago.
I use pretty standard shave cream (there are a lot of wet shaving creams and soaps to choose from if you want)
Got a boar bristle brush
But the best thing is shaving with a straight blade. One blade only. No stupid comfort strip. No swivels. No rubber. No plastic.
You would think it would be uncomfortable. That the lack of these “comfort additions” would make it lack… well… comfort. But it’s actually the opposite.
One single pass and the hair just slips away. Then I do one pass against the grain when I’m done.
There is NO tugging. No pulling. I haven’t had razor bumps or ingrown hairs or irritation or anything since I switched.
I just shaved off a week old beard and it is consistently the closest smoothest shave.
It’s also relaxing.
It’s also good for the environment. And good for your wallet too. I change the blade every three weeks or so.

I switched to a straight razor years ago and really enjoy it. Have only bought soap in the past 3 or 4 years and thats cheap.

I use them if i havent shaved in a couple days. They cut through thicker stubble better than multiblade stuff
But for everyday use i prefer a good ole 2 blade gillette sensor plus. A 12 pack is like $6
And a bottle of Cremo lasts me like 6 months.

I don't know how much they are now but a few years back I was able to get a couple hundred Gillete blades for around 10 bucks on ebay. I think they were indian but they work fine.

The biggest trick the shaving companies ever pulled was convincing people they need a 7 blade swivel head face contour gel strip super hydro facial dick elongating cartridge

Agree. I use a modern razor when I'm in a hurry, but wet shaving with a safety razor is a great experience. It makes you look forward to shaving, which I never did before.

I’ve been using one for about 10 years now. It’s a MUCH better shave and no telling how much money I have saved.

Several years ago on this board someone mentioned getting a safety razor. I did and have never used another razor again.
How long does a blade last for you? I get 2 or 3 shaves before I replace the blade.

The point you can buy a great razor for under $50 and buy 100 blades for under $20 which could last a year. And metro sexual Braxton goes spends that on two months worth of Gillette plastic with exfoliating strip. Shows just how dumb this country has become.

Get creamo chase cream and change the blade often if you’re not shaving every day.
I try really is such an enjoyable shave. I also shave in a hot shower and it’s the best shave I’ve ever performed on myself.
Can even shave your juevos if you’re careful

I would recommend not going against the grain using a blade razor. That just increases the changes of a cut.
But I agree that a very sharp single blade is the best, as long as the blade is fresh and sharp.
Several years ago, Saturday Night Live did a spoof commercial about a razor with three blades. It was hilarious because it was ridiculous that anyone would make a razor with three blades. Now ....

Are these good for head shaving too?

I shave everyday and change the blade once a week.

Depends on how long my hair has gotten. Long hair, up to 5. Short hair, 2-3. That stubble needs a sharp arse blade.

Be careful. They will knick you much more so than disposable razors in my experience. And I just shave m in beard.

If you're talking about the yellow box Indian Gillette 7 o'clock sharpedges, they are among the best blades on the market
