a few guys talking in a circle, AI walks in and steps in front of me, back facing me, pointing over his shoulder and asks ADDY "wonder if his beard growth was lower on a big blast because of estrogen conversaion or some sort of negative feedback loop with hormones".

lol.. I got confused betwen you and the original poster....
thats funny shit lol.. I needed that today actually!
fyi, you can use a strop on disposables and double the lives. i shave in the shower. soap once and rince to wash off the oils on the wiskers. soap again to saturate the whiskers and for lubrication. i find its better to do a once over every day better than trying to do a perfect job every other day or so. thats when you get irritation. after i run the water cold to close the pores and because james bond did it. then moisturize right after drying to seal in the moisture. i dont like shaving cream. i need to leave it on awhile for it to soften the whiskers. it gets irritating on the skin and the double soap treatment is almost as good. but im going to try the safety razor and beard oil.
What kind of shaving cream have you tried? Anything in the grocery store is piss in a can compared to real shaving creams.
Biggest scam going is gillette shaving gels and disposable cartridges especially the multiple blade ones.
jells and creams. ok. i may give her a try. thanks
ummmmm....... im still single. ladies today expect some extra grooming. is a safety razor safe safe to trim the moss off the oak and trim the hedges?
Buy some Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving cream and pre shave oil.. will cost you around 50-60$ on amazon, but will last about 8 months and is 100x better than grocery store garbage
what do you think of this?
and this?

eh....
I tried a double edge safety razor on my head... it gave me the closest head shave I've ever had, but nicked myself up a lot.
One thing people don't get is that they think a single blade razor can't shave as close as a Mach 3 or Mach 5 etc.. It's absolutely the opposite. WAY closer with the doubel edge razor with way less irration.
I actually shave once with the grain, lather shaving cream on again and shave again against the grain everytime I shave.
With those crap Mach 4 or whatever, I was only ever able to shave with the grain and just once. So not nearly as close of a shave.
that razor blade sampler is great. That pack would last me at least a year.. 1 year for 28$ and only using a blade twice before tossing lol..
The handle you sent isn't the best.
1) You want a butterfly style handle. Its much easier to switch blades.
2) You can find a handle with a badger brush for a little more than your link. The badger brush is amazing for fluffing your shaving cream and applying it to your face. The badger brush actually helps lift your beard hair up and massage in some cream with you use it.
3) most people prefer a longer handle. I bought one like the link you sent at first, but instantly I knew i wanted a longer handle.
Handles are all different. The handle dictates the angle of the blade. The handles actually have a slight guard against shaving too close. The one you sent could be good for the angle, who knows.. everyone's face is different! I have two handles and I much prefer one more thna the other.
I got this handle.. Its a good brand

HEres a good kit to get lots of stuff
Cheap brush, but will work
Buying high quality shaving stuff is a rabbit hole for me once ordered my first high end shaving supplies.
I have gotten more than one buddy addicted to good shaving stuff once they tried it... One guy had some of the worst razor burn I ever saw and he had to shave everyday for his job.. He never looked back once he tried the good stuff and hasn't had razor burn since

Another thing... If you are prone to razor burn and nicks, use this thing. It seals up nicks and takes redness and bleeding from razor burns instantly.
Stings when you use it, but if you screw up shaving and need to go to work right away, it fixes your face asap

LOL. I use a DE as well. 1964 Gillette Slim. I also use Art of Shaving shaving cream.
Honestly, I have stood in the shower with my DE in hand looking down and thought, Nope! I keep a Mach something or other in there for that one job.
yep I feel like Im getting robbed everytime I buy their shit lol. When you guys say soap are you talking about those shaving bars that you use a brush to lather with? Gonna try the strop on some disposable machs when I buy them next! not sure if I will get into the straight razors/safety razors again simply because the grain of my beard grows in all sort of directions and its almost impossible to not slit my throat open when trying to do my neck.
also, I see a lot of you dont shave against the grain but I find I simply cant get a close enough shave by going with & to the side of the grain. As long as the blade is super sharp I dont get bumps or ingrown hair from doing that.I will get razor burn like CRAZ though if the blade is dull, I press to hard, or my technique is bad while using a DE blade.
my DE safety razor I just bought is wilkonson sword and I think their blades suck. Feather blades are THE BEST I used to use them when I have the disposable straight edge. they are stupid sharp and stay sharp.
Thanks for this.
I just ordered the handle you recommended along with a sampler pack of blades. Already have a brush and foam!
