OT: which razor do you use?

[RBigredMax1]

I was always a Gillette guy and then moved to Harry’s to give them a go. Liked the shave but the damn things are brittle as all get out. Maybe I hold on the razor like Jeff Sims but even the slightest drop would break the head. It happened to me 4 times, 3 of which were barely used razors.

Back to Gillette I go.

I’ve tried most of them. Got onto the Bic Flex Five and it has been my favorite for a close shave and longevity of blades. I don’t think I’ll try any others in the future. Super happy with them.

For my face, or my balls?

He was clearly asking about your nutsack. Not sure how you could even take it any other way.

I use a ********. Gillette Pro Glide Power to be exact. I don’t know why it works so much better than others I’ve tried but it does.

 

[WHCSC]

Not sure why they **** out vibr8er

 

[Spectrumalaska]

I prefer Occam's

 

[Vanhusker]

Straight edge on ballsack and face!
Kidding I'd have de-nutted myself and/or bled out by now. Gillette Mach 3

 

[Dominator10]

Safety razor or straight edge. All others are garbage and cost a fortune. Switch and you'll save a ton

Dorco. 6-blade mofo. Sharper than Gillette Fusion. Fusion beats in comfort, but not in closeness. Korean made blades for under $2.50 a cartridge. Been using them for 10+ years now. Got tired of $5+ a cartridge. I use one for close to a month. Replace it when I get a haircut.

Philips Norelco OneBlade FTW...for both.

I used a Shick Extreme disposable razor for about 30 years. Came in a 10 or 12 pack, costing about 50 cents per razor. Sharp blades, close shaves and lasted one week like clockwork, before I pitched them out.

Then one day I brought home a new pack, and the razors had dull blades and a useless pivoting head that serves no purpose. I looked online and apparently I was not the only one who had this experience. Some genius at Schick decided to replace a perfectly good razor with a totally crappy product.

Fortunately, I found something called the Schick Exacta on Amazon. Apparently it's sold mainly in Latin America. Ordered a pack and they were pretty close to my old favorite. Slightly differenet appearance, but fixed head with sharp blades that last about a week. Went back online and ordered about a two-year supply, in case they too disappear. I feel like one of those hoarders who stores canned goods in a Tuff Shed, preparing for the end of the World.

Shaving with a different razor is always weird.

Anyone ever get one of those old time straight razor cuts in a barber shop?

Yes - it’s relaxing and a good pamper. If you can get the mafia scenes out of your head.

No, but the straight razor on the back of the neck and around the ears was wonderful. Always worth the terrible “regular cut” I got.

Bought a Schick injector razor 50 years ago and still use it. It has a dial that adjusts the jaws that I used to use to make the bite bigger to do my sideburns. But I never dial it anymore. You can't find injector blades at the store anymore, but can be found online. One blade lasts about 25 shaves and costs $1.70. The razor is from an era when stuff was made in America and built to last.
