How old are you?

I dont shave anymore. Just trim the beard back when it gets out of control.

Hated shaving in the Navy and once I got out, didnt shave much there after.

I have been looking for the old kind of razors that use the double edged blades that can be replaced. No dice at King Soopers, Walmart, BB&Beyond, etc. They don't even carry the blades.

All I can find is this: https://www.onerazor.com/?mid=4320516 (Edit: this seems to be the best deal I can find online)

Anyone use it?

Just google-fu safety razor and spend what you want. I did find one at Walmart but their blades suck. I use Derby blades and get them on flea bay you can get a 100 for ten bucks.

For a double edge razor, I would buy a used adjustable. West Coast Shaving has good deals on 100 blade packs. Been using Persona Reds and really like them.

Get a $20-$30 badger hair brush. They last a long time. I'm partial to larger "floppy" knots (brush hair) but some like stiffer bristles.

Been trying some different soaps/creams lately. Bigelows, Tabac, Fraziers, Porasos are some of the classics.

This is the current razor of choice. It's a '72 Gillette.

I buy mine on amazon, if you need some LMK. My face likes a specific brand, some are sharper than others. I bought the variety pack and shaved with different blades until I found one I like.

Or you can visit the evil shopping malls and spend a fortune at the shaving places.

I break out bad from shaving, and even not from shaving. I use a pair of professional edger clippers, gets pretty close for being clippers. I always wanted to shave with a straight blade, but don't know how.....

I have the 4 blade disposable head razors. But shave every day at work and almost every day at home except during vacation or hunting season. I shave in the shower. No shaving cream needed. have done this for probably 6-7 years now and it works perfect . No mirror needed either.
Razors last 10 times longer since they are constantly being cleaned with the running water. One head will lastme easily 3 months, up to 6 months

Been shaving since 7th grade and always wanted to try a straight blade, got to be cheaper then buying the refills. I usually go through a normal razor blade every 1-2 shaves (face &head). Anyone else use cornhuskers lotion for aftershave, it's only thing I have found that will cure the razor burn.
