Wet shaving is logically impossible because it's a hipster thing but hipsters have beards and therefore don't shave.

It's not really a hipster thing, it's more a "I don't want to pay $7.99 for a single shave" thing Modern 2+ blade disposable cartridges really haven't proven themselves superior to safety razors in any way except the "roll out of bed and be done in 15 minutes" sense and while I appreciate that, I can buy an entire year's worth of Derby blades for $10. That buys me two weeks of Mach 5 shaves.

I don't know if you can still get them, but several years ago you could find old gillette handles in really good condition for $15 or so. I have a few oh actually I just looked and they're like $40 now for a fatboy on eBay, iirc that was one of the more expensive ones but yeah at that price point just get a new one made this century

i use a straight razor with disposable blades (i think it is called a "shavette") to trim my beard and i replace the blade once a week, after three uses. each blade costs 5 cents.

I guess I was lucky that at the time it wasn't cool yet or w/d I’ve gone my entire life with garbage skin and the improvement from DE wet shaving has been huge. You can spend as little or as much as you want on it and I’ve been extravagant so far, but the results have been good compared to what I was doing, ie, lovely disposables. Using a nice shaving soap that smells good and makes you feel good elevates it to a luxury treatment too.

Helps makes shaving less like a chore and more like a worthwhile ritual, if that makes sense. That and badger hair for the brush, foams up more easily for some reason. Been using the same strait razor for 8 years now, it’ll probably outlive me. Never goin’ back.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:I’ve gone my entire life with garbage skin and the improvement from DE wet shaving has been huge yeah I was the same way. tbh I think that it's much more the good soap than the DE razor so long as you don't use a cartridge for 10 weeks - it just so happens that most people switch to both at the same time. I could be wrong on that though, I've never tried a cartridge razor with good soap (and was too poor to not reuse the hell out of cartridges when I used them - cheap razor blades are why i switched in the first place)
