Stop shaving
Bring it all down. Let the chips fall where they may.
Bic...... Amazon or Sam’s for the best deal
I use the cheap disposables. Nothing made by Proctor & Gamble.
Beard.
Trim with Wahl Clipper, made in Sterling IL USA.
The generic brand razors are just as good as the more expensive brands. Only problem is that the blades tend to be compatible with only the specific generic brand handle.
Buy the cheapest well made products and pay for your own political beliefs separately.
If you want something special, go to a specialty craftsman to make you an old-style that you can gift in a will.
Anti-wokeness has become a significant niche market.
Makes sense to cash in on this.
But they have to buy their blades from the big, woke guys.
Harry’s?
I use an electric Wahls razor. I put a #2 attachment on it and shave my beard and head evenly as I can. I have my wife inspect my job and follow her tips on evening it out. I’ve more than paid for the razor but the most important to me is Gillette doesn’t get one dime of my toxic masculine money.
Safety razor. I use a Merkur Futur and Feather brand blades.
Posted a similar comment the other day on another thread, but here are more details...
Merkur adjustable safety razor. Make sure you buy the adjustable type!
Merkur blades. Hold their edge longer than others I’ve tried
https://shavenation.com/products/merkur-de-blades-100-count
I bought about 4 of those packages from a local barber shop when it only cost $10/100 count. Boy have times changed and now that I see the current price,I just bought a sleeve of 100. They’re not going to get less expensive.
Be sure to buy;
Boar’s hair brush
Shave mug (wide, low coffee mug will do)
Stand for razor and brush, because brush must hang dry, bristles down, or you’ll ruin the brush fast. Also, after each use, rinse and wipe dry the razor and blade, so blade lasts longer.
Warm your face to soften beard.
Hot water on brush and lather up.
For extra close shave, repeat lather/shave.
You WILL get a close shave!
Try not to cut your own throat by side slipping the blade when shaving. Straight 1-1.5” strokes as a time, being mindful of the angle you hold the razor. Best to do this without water running because you can hear the cut better to determine the proper angle of the razor.
Those who complain that this is not a close shave are either holding the razor at a poor angle, their razor is a cheap non-adjustable type (the quality of the razor makes ALL the difference!), rushing through the process, or using dull blades.
For the razor above there is a line on the top cap and an arrow on the base handle, which must line up. The top portion will fit on the lower in either direction, but it is made to precision and these two must be aligned. Then tighten the top cap and blade down by turning adjustment at the base until stop. This puts a slight bend on the blade. Then loosen to your desired aggressiveness. It is calibrated 1-5. My setting is to open past 5, then to 1 again. The more you loosen, the more you straighten the blade & the more you open and expose the blade, the more aggressive the cut and the more dangerous the potential for error.
Thank you in advance for not sending medical bills to me for the sutures =o)
...that is all
Stop punishing myself and just go on with my life.
If you do the dish and mug method (soap stays in the dish and you mix the lather in the mug), a cake of shaving soap will last 6 months or more.
If you have hard water, though, this plan won't work very well.
Barbasol...
Best shave cream...
Best razors...
2ndvote.org is a good site to help make consumer decisions.
Adjustable safety razor with Personna Med Prep blades. Blades cost 20 cents apiece, and they last a long time. The razor will outlast me. Mug, brush, and shaving soap if I have time. Clubman barber shop shaving cream if I’m in a hurry. Nothing compares to the shave I get from a safety razor.
By the way, how many blades are those weird, expensive cartridge razors up to now. Fourteen, isn’t it?
