What do you put them in?
Same here. Odd thing isn’t it? I’ve wondered why. Maybe it is the clogging of the double blades? Bic isn’t smooth but what is? Shaving gel was a masterful stroke.
In the days of “safety razors” I looked like I had been in a battle with a bobcat after shaving. I’m afraid to go back to one.
Standard old fashioned shaver
Thanks for the link. Maybe I’ll further back to straight razor.
Wait, what year was that again? The editor must be from the Dept. of Redundacy Dept.
It’s funny...they only make two safety razors...this $12 Version and a high end $172 model.

Try a Merkur open comb razor. It might be possible to cut yourself with one, but I’ve never done it. I use it with cheap shaving cream. Or Ivory soap. Darned if I know why people using double edge razors like shaving mugs and foo-foo soaps.
My daughter took mine for shaving her legs. So I bought another.
Get a Merkur handle off Amazon. Made in Germany, will last forever.
I never used Gillette, they were always too expensive so I can’t claim to be boycotting them for their ridiculous male bashing stunts. I usually picked up the 4 blade house brand disposables at Walmart but switched to a Merkur safety razor with feather blades about six months ago. The shave is great and $5 worth of blades will last me about 5 years. The danger of nicking yourself with a safety razor is overblown, I had a few nicks for a couple of weeks but once I got used to it I never have any now. I won’t be going back, love the safety razor!
Switched to Schick many years ago. It truly is the best shave a man can get.
Thanks. I may try that.
I’ll check it out.
And XXVI.
I honestly don’t get how supposedly adult men can be so precious about shaving.
Gentlemen, uncomplicate your lives and save some money: Disposable two blade razor (no slime strip). In the shower, to soften the beard. For lubrication, a very light lather with your favorite high quality bar soap (who has time for a mug and brush?). I change to a new razor once every month or so, even if I don’t need to. A close, smooth shave that lasts all day.
Me too. I used one for years; always got nicked. Used a plastic disposable once in an emergency, and never went back.
Probably a good idea considering the Leftist/socialist education system we now have.
Sorry, but all that sounds somewhat ‘gay’.
