I use a Mach 3 and I shave in the shower every other day and I haven't replaced the blade in 6 months. Idiots

(there's a way to make sure these razors last a long time, YouTube it)

Besides having soft, downy fuzz for facial hair? If disposables last for you fantastic but not all of us are blessed with easily tamed facefur

isnt it pretty easy to cut yourself with a merkur safety razor? ive read it takes more time and care. i feel like i couldnt knick myself with a gilette mach 3 if i tried

literally never have cut myself with my Merkur safety razor

there's a reason it's called a safety razor

the blades are also so cheap that it doesn't bug me to replace them every time I shave either. you can probably use them like 3-4 times each but I like them sharp as fuk and also I only shave once a week because it's fun growing some scruff during the week

They're called "safety razors" and they're actually the best way to shave unless you've got such bad alien hand syndrome that you'll slit your throat with anything other than an electric.

hello :)
anybody know about those merkur things if I can just use soap with it ? I have to shave so often that using cream is literally a chore. also the thickness of the hair itself is very fat, leading to heavy wear. is there more danger to cutting myself too?

You guys hate on those for being a hipster thing but a $30 handle and $5 pack of razors will basically last the next decade at a fraction of the price of other razors.

Badger hair brushes, fancy soap, and a shaving mug? That's some hipster poo poo.

A can of Barbasol costs like $2.

You can go to almost any estate sale and grab a vintage safety razor handle for $1. They never wear out and as long as they aren't rusty you are good to go.

100 blades are around $10 depending on brand, I'm still working on a pack i ordered Jan of 2012
http://amzn.com/B001QY8QXM

Hot lather from a mug and brush is nice and very cheap but takes time. Shaving cream takes up a bunch of space and needs to be replaced often. Drop $5 for a bottle of this at walmart. http://amzn.com/B0023XF60Q Wet your face put a few drops in your hand and apply to face and you are good to shave.

While you are at that estate sale look for one of these vintage travel razors. http://r.ebay.com/NqhrDc Everything plus a 5 pack of blades fits into that tiny case barely larger than a matchbox. Now when you travel all you need is your tiny bottle of Shave oil and travel razor case and you are good to go.

When I am lazy I do tend to just set my beard trimmer to Miami Device mode and just leave a decent stubble.

You can shave however fancy you want. Just accept that even after using your fancy straight razor I'm still twice as good looking and five times as hot on a hungover morning with pube hairs on my face Lmao.

F hole posted:

That's my poo poo bro - Merkur 34C. I load it with Wilkinson Sword blades at @ $0.50/ea where each blade lasts for like 2 weeks with a daily shave.

And shaving cream? Trash.

something like this will last longer than 20 cans of Barbasol and then you'll only have to buy the soap for $7 when it runs out after like a year.

I've cut my shaving costs by 90% and I get a better shave, every time. Seriously if you are not shaving with a safety razor and brush-lather soap you are figuratively using burning dollar bills to light your cheapass American Spirit cigarettes.

edit:

I am shocked, SHOCKED at the ignorance about shaving quality displayed in this thread.

A safety razor the 'fedora of shaving?' Good lord no. A safety razor is a heavy, quality tool that provides an excellent and very comfortable shave. I can understand how the cheapo $2/bag disposables came into being, because there is some use for those in traveling, for hospitality, camping, etc. but Gilette Atra Trac 10 blade nonsense is just overpriced garbage that does nothing for you. You've been flimflammed into thinking that this is the way to shave...no it is not. A safety razor is the way to loving go.

A fedora? Really?

A fedora is something idiots wear that they think makes them look smoothly classic and mysterious, reminiscent of a bygone era when men were men and...

oh wait a minute

OK, so maybe that analogy works in a way.

But trust me...shaving with that heavy hunk of metal is a loving treat, and brushing up some lather is far more pleasant than sqoooshing some freezing-cold compressed foam into your hand.
