If You Need A New 5 Blade Razor...

[El Cid]

I really don’t like shaving: its usually painful, and I usually bleed. My wife really doesn’t like getting beard hairs (wires) poking her face, or stubble burns.

I used to refuse to shave, at all, and trimmed my beard a couple of times a month. But she convinced me it’s nicer to shave for her. So I shave, usually a couple times/week.

Multi blade razors make the process less painful. Usually. If I’m gonna get fancy about it, I use a freshly stropped straight razor. Usually can’t be arsed, though.

I’m willing to experiment. If I have to. I guess.

I realize this is an old post, but someone else revived the thread. lol!

I've always had sensitive skin. What I've found works is:
1) Electric Razor (I use a Braun)
2) Hot shower
3) Multi-blade razor (mach 3 turbo the last several years)
4) Lush Shave cream (or in a pinch Noxzema)

I switched from multi blade razors about 10 years ago, and am way happier. @blues, you of all people should be using a razor of quality.

I just started back with DE blade razors. The Futur is about the best adjustable. Derby or Feather blades.

@blues was right. I'm still using this razor. i refuse to use Gillette after their woeness, and honestly, I think this is better. I won't buy woke, so as long as this company stays quiet, that's my brand. Thanks Blues.

You're welcome.

They even unconditionally guarantee money back for a year for any reason. Hard to beat that.

Just tried the Solimo. Much better shaving experience than Harry's and the blade/handle interface is robust. My Harry's routinely disassemble themselves during cleaning.

Uncouth ruffians, the lot of you.

I regret not seeing this thread when it originated. I was fighting C19 in the hospital.

I mean I got a safety razor at Target and it has been far better than any cartridge razor I've used.

Probably need to look into a better quality one with better blades tho.

Or a straight razor.

Don't get all highfalutin' on us, Buster...we know the real reason is that those are examples of the latest technology to make it down to Alabama.

We got indoor plumbing too!

Those Feathers are about 60.00 for 200

200 weeks of shaves for 60 bucks.

Ammo gets bought with the savings.
