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..... My DoVo Best Quality 6/8 wasn't bad... Right at $100 or so. Where they really get you is the strop. I opted for the 3" wide strop and it was nearly the same cost as the razor. Of course with proper care both items will outlast me.

One trick to get them to last a while and keep there edge. After you rinse them out take a little spray bottle with iso alcohol or denatured and give it a good spraying and put it up.

Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !

I purchased about 600 razors($15.00 bucks) in the package and 12 years later still have more then enough. I figure should last until retirement and then my hair and beard will grow long.

Makes you slow down and enjoy the moment, relaxing and going through the Evening or morning ritual. Finally got the picture to work.... Last edited by Bill from NJ; 07/01/19 07:15 PM.
