Double edge safety razor.
Jun 12, 2020,09:24 AM
I switched years ago and never looked back. They provide a closer, irritation free shave for me. A big change from the multi-blade razors I had been using. I also use a brush and shaving soap. I believe this combo provides a more comfortable shave, is more economical over time, and frankly a more pleasant experience. It takes some time to get your technique down, but once you do it is great. There are any number of blades and razors you can use. Try a cheap razor first to see if you like it.

What do some of you use for razors?
By: Thomas_3 : June 10th, 2020-08:04
I use shaving soap and a badger hair brush, but my razors suck. My sons have been telling me that forever. They are cheap disposables. I am thinking I would like to try a nice single blade razor. I see the prices of refills of multi blade razors in the bi...

...I can confidently say that the modern multi-blade razors from the large established companies are excellent and the extra blades do make a difference although you are right they seem expensive. I say seem expensive because compared to the average dispo...

How 'bout either Dollar Shave Club or Harry's?
By: MikiJ : June 10th, 2020-09:12
Harry's offer trial packs for $8.US that contain a handle, a couple of blades a travel cover and sometimes their shave gel plus other discount coupons. I use the Harry's stuff and it's reasonable if you buy 16 blades for $18.US if you shave almost everyda...

I Used To Use Multi Blade
By: ant : June 10th, 2020-10:42
Gillette but when they started anti-male advertising I was so disgusted that I threw them away,,,really. I switched to Wilkinson which I have found to be far superior: sharper and longer lasting. So sharp that the first time I used it my skin bled without...
Double edged safety razor for me
By: Peevee57 : June 10th, 2020-11:35
Switched from multi-blade about 7 years ago and will never go back. No cuts, no irritation and very smooth, also works well after a week of not having shaved. The feather blades are incredibly sharp! ...
I used those for a while but went back to multiblade a few years ago
By: VinnieD : June 10th, 2020-11:44
I thought the double edge was a little more environmentally friendly but it does not work for me anymore. I used German and Japanese blades. Nowadays, I use the 3 blade from Gilette and have a custom wooden and chrome handle, which I use with badger, hard...

I gave up about 10 years ago...
By: CR : June 12th, 2020-22:58
Once it became clearly socially acceptable to have a little scruff, I swapped my razor for a stubble trimmer and never looked back. 1mm setting every 3 days or so and I'm good to go. The closest I come to a razor these days is when I go running by this pl...
