This crap my wife brings home that design so some buttercup or snowflake won't cut their pretty little skin ain't worth a darn on a man beard. Darn razor that won't cut you a little ever now and then not a real razor, cheap made junk. I believe I could do a better job with a bush ax. Hard to find a good one around here. Wonder what kind Bruce Jenner use, I bet that one tough a$$ blade...…..Morning all.

Those razors with a half dozen blade on them do give a good shave nut only the 1 or 2 times.

I'm cheap and have gone to an electric years ago....still prefer a good blade shave.

A straight razor. But, lately I've been using a shavette... Which is a straight razor that has a cartridge type deal in it that allows you to put razor blades in it. Box of 100 half blades was 8 bucks and I can usually get 2 shaves from a blade before I have to replace it.

My Grandpa used to have his wife shave him with a straight razor. That's true love right there!

The original Gillette Sensor is the last one I used. I had one of those 4 blade deals and tossed it. They were reasonably priced last i knew, havent shaved down that close in years.

Not a heavy bearded guy, so I buy the cheap ones and they work great for me. Seems like clogging is a bigger problem than dullness.

Well finally something I know something about.

I have used a straight razor since the 70's.
There is a slight learning curve involved but nothing that will kill you.
The most difficult thing is keeping the razor sharp. But with practice, works great.
Quality steel razor (I like DOVO) from Germany. Expensive, but will last a life time.
I have 5 that I rotate daily.

There are safety razors available also.
The best brands in my opinion are Merkur and Muhle.
These razors have been my go to razor for daily shaving anymore.
Safety razor blades have 4 sides and last a long time.
The price is very cheap also. Less than .50 cents on up.
I buy in bulk. 100 razor blades for $10.00 or so.

Try going the Safety razor route first, I believe you will be very happy with your decision.

My boys have been using one from daily face shaving to shaving their heads.

Read and look these things up on google.....

I just got a new Merkur Friday,I don't remember what my last one was,I got it thru Duluth Trading.Blades? I guess if I had to choose they'd be Wilkinsen(spelled wrong I think).
