Assuming you're a boy, buy this: https://www.amazon.com/Merkur-Long-Handled-Safety-Razor/dp/B000NL0T1G

and buy this: https://www.amazon.com/Personna-Double-Razor-Blades-Count/dp/B0077LAJT2?th=1

$30ish plus shipping gets you months of shaving, even if you toss the blade after every single use. Then you just buy more razors.

People I need razors to shave my face with not a genuine badger fur shaving brush and sterling silver razor handle to do civil war reenactments with. If there is a better idea than dollar shave club I would like to hear about it

double edged razors are also superior because you can't really cut your wrist or give some a buck fifty with a cartridge razor.

Correct. I spend $20 eveey year and a half on a pack of 100 double edged safety razors. I have enough shaving soap from last Christmas to last me 3 years.

Total spent on shaving in the last 6 years: $140 and that includes the original razor and brush purchase.

Stop wasting money on cartridges and dont be taken in by that trendy dollar shave club bullshit.

thats why you spend the 20 bucks for the handle... hence the "safety" part of the razor.

Have blonde facial hair so you can more or less use regular Mach 3 blades indefinitely without issue.

Also switch up using shaving cream and gel throughout the week to keep your face in check.

I tried to switch to dorco razors but their QC was trash on my order and like 1/3 would cut the poo poo out of my face. It also didn't give nearly as close of a shave for me.

I have really coarse, dark hair that grows quickly and look like I have a 5 o'clock shadow after shaving with gillette razors. With dorco I looked like a god drat hobo.

I really wanted to switch too because they are super affordable. If every time I switched out the razor it wasn't like playing a bad game of rock paper scissors I might have stuck with them.

Straight razors are too goony, double edge razors are too steampunk, so you've definitely made the right choice here joining a club to send you cheap disposable cartridges.

The words "the razor and the blades" has become a widely used phrase meaning a product designed to rip the customer off, this should tell you something. Stop being gillette's bitch and get a goddamn safety razor.

Soak your face in gasoline and then light a match, give yourself disfiguring 3rd degree burns. The horrific melty-plastic-looking skin you will be left with after months of recovery and cosmetic surgery won't grow any hair at all, so you'll never have to spend money or time shaving ever again.

Plus you can make up a story about rescuing a kid from a burning house or something, chicks will dig that.


This entire process will be less painful than the idiotic dollar shave club that expects you to use crappy disposable razors for a week each, because they only send you like 4 or 5 of the things a month.

Such graceful, delicate creatures.
My facial hair basically does the Homer Simpson thing where I shave, and it seems like moments later I'm stubbly again. Plus it grows in at weird, uneven angles and I have to basically go over my face like three times to get it shaved without leaving patches.

My brother got me a gift card for dollar shave club for Christmas one year, so I tried it. With their fanciest one (4 blades?), I found that my Gillette Fusion on a blade I had been using for a month still worked better than a brand new one of theirs. It was really uncomfortable and left a lot behind. I tried for a full month in case my face just needed to adjust, but no luck. So I cancelled that and got a pack of 12 Fusion blades to last me a year.

Just buy a safety razor you retard. If you're really concerned about it being too "steampunk" or w/e you're a stupid gently caress. It's a cheap and easy way to get the hair off of your fat stupid goony face.

Use "shaving oil" instead of soap or shaving cream

im trying to figure out how a forest ranger with only a straight razor and some creek water heated up over a fire is goony

having someone mail you plastic from china monthly is the definition of goony consumerism

I used to get the 4-blade but I dropped down to the 2-blade because I was getting too many ingrowns. If you notice you're gettin a lot of ingrowns, drop down to the 2-blade razors, they work good on what ails ya.
