I?ve finally run out of Gilette razors. What to buy?

I'm going to go to a straight blade, of some sort, soon, as I punish the remaining Gillette blades I have.

I'm also changing my shaving cream, as it looks like Gillette is now copying, or owns, Barbasol.

Perio Inc owns Barbasol.

Proctor and Gamble owns Gillette.

Somebody should tell them that Gillette is infringing on their trademark, because the last can of shaving cream I bought, looks like Barbasol, but is Gillette.

Went with Schick Extreme3 after trying out a bunch. It’s green and black, disposable, and every bit as comfortable as the Mach whatever for cleaning up around my beard every day or two.
Saw some news articles this morning that Gillette has lost over 8 billion since the ad aired, and that the CEO was still standing behind the ad.

That's what I've been using on my baby face.

What are these razors you guys are speaking of?

The last can of shaving goo i bought was 1982ish. Absolute crap. Been using soaps or creams ever sense.

I have a straight razor but am scared.

Working on the winter beard, so not shaving much these days.

Shaving is over rated.

CLASSIC DOUBLE EDGE SAFETY RAZOR from Walmart along with several hundred Astra double edge blades via Amazon. I normally use soap to lather up and shave before my shower.

I actually have a couple of older screw on safety razor handles. It takes an extra minute to change blades with these and they do cost a bit more than the $10 butterfly open cover from Walmart. The screw on handles are practically indestructible. The blades are so cheap and I normally get three or four shaves on a blade before I toss it or use it to clean vehicle glass before tossing.

Now having a nice pair of barber's scissors is good for a mustache and/or beard.

Dont know when I used a razor last, maybe my wedding day 13.5yrs ago! This was June of this year....unfortunately it's a lot shorter for the new job, about 1" now.

I don't remember you having that long of a beard, but I only met you like 6 or 7 years ago.
