Can some on recomend a good razor blade.

I'm using blades from Walmart and they stay sharp for about 3or 4 shaves.
A few years ago I went to a saftey razor and I can't find any decent blades around.

Astra sp are my favorites.

I like the blue handle Bic ones if you rinse them after shaving they last a long time .

I'll try the Astra sp - thanks

Go on Amazon and buy a multi sampler pack. It comes with several brands and they don't all shave the same. Once you find the one that works best for you. Just order that brand.

I like the "pink" ones.
I've got sensitive skin

I switched to a straight razor 15 years ago still using the same blade

Easier on your legs on Friday night?

Had the same original Gillete Sensor for 20 years. I know,Gillete like half of the companies have went woke. Its tiring trying to figure which companies want me to become a liberal tranny. I see Carhartt just introduced their “urban ghetto” lineup.

I use these from target. Shave about 3-4 x week and they last 2-3 weeks

Made In Sheffield England 1840….still shaves like a Bastid !

For blades in my Birth Year ( 1956) Gillette Super Speed Red Tip with Original case….I use the Merkur Supers . Just google West Coast Shaving…they will have them

This really works….but I would do 5 sets of 3 strokes ..each side

An I do this with my straights….after I get done with the leather strop

TIP: facial oils contain acids. Acids are tough on sharp things. When done shaving rinse blade well with hot water and then squirt with alcohol. Alcohol will evaporate water and dissolve oils. Blades will last much longer. Have heard storing blade in alcohol or even vodka is even better. Haven't tried that. Isopropyl alcohol is cheap.

then add a drop of olive oil to stop rust

Equate triple blade disposable from Walmart. I get 30 shaves from one. After 20 they start pulling.

I joined Harrys shave club and bought two handles My wife uses them also and we always have extra blades. I have to shave every day for work and these last longer than any blade I have used. Plus they ship them to me automatically. You can also get them just to try from several websites.

Hey Guss…..you get all that ?

Gillette Fusion. I've often gotten 30 shaves or more out of one.

Nittany …had you down for a Straight Razah guy …

Redoing our bathroom, and when we pulled the mirror down, there's a hole for an old medicine cabinet. There's a bazillion old rusty double edge razor blades down inside the wall. Medicine cabinets used to have a slot where you could put your razors into, and they'd just fall inside the wall for safe disposal. The idea was that it would take forever for the wall to actually fill up with razors, and by then it's someone else's problem. Since I found it, I've been using the double edge razors that Walmart sells (van der hagen brand), and dumping them in the hole. I gotta add my own to the collection of course.

Straights or double/single edge blades is the way to go! Forget cartridges.

I dunno Nessie, that looks like a good way to roll an edge and splay open a palm.

Guss,
Look up a shavings online source.
There are lots of different brands.
Many come in a sample package to try many different brands at a low cost.
Some example brands are:
Personna
Astra
Wilkinson
Shark
Gillette
Derby
Merkur
Feather
Have fun trying out the different brands...

I used to use my wife's pink razors, she'd get mad that I made them dull. Haven't used one for 5 or 6 years now, just clippers.

While we are talking razors I saw a guy who was made to dry shave in front of the company in the Army. This young guy had a lot of pimples on his face so he bled. This was 1964. Now the Army does not allow such punishment.

Wilkinson are what I use in my safety razor

Harry's. They last quite a while.

I was in basic training in 1965, up to that point I thought I only grew peach fuzz so one day I skipped shaving, the Drill Sargent noticed and made me dry shave, that ended me skipping a day of shaving.
