This may surprise you, but not everyone wants to make the act of shaving a 10-15 minutes sensory experience. Most people who shave just want to cut the hair on their faces as quickly as possible and with the least irritation and get on with their days.

So, in sum: tried it; waste of time and epidermis.

>>731725359

DE razors are just a good economic decision. I don't use a fucking badger brush with poraso soap as shaving cream. Just regular Barbasol in a can for $2 from Walgreens. But a pack of 30 Feather blades (superior nihon brand folded over 1000 times) is literally like $5 from eBay or amazon.

>>731725379
It would always result in redness if I tried to get a shave as close as I would with a 3-bladed cartridge.

On the flipside, you can get a closer shave, and shave shorter hair without mutilating yourself (emphasis on "can"), but it's not worth the irritation. I will do it if I really want to be clean-shaven and not enough time has passed after my previous shave to repeat it with cartridge.

>>731725267
God you're stupid. Tell me, do you always voice your opinions, based on your absolute lack of knowledge?

You can use the DE and make it a small ritual. Fine.

But if you're in a hurry, it's the same deal. I make foam within 1 minute. The foam is much better than the one you buy in these tubes, usually also smells better. Shaving is faster than with the disposable shavers because you can have collect more foam with DE and it's easily cleared.

So yeah, if you're a beta faggot, you probably come up with dozen of excuses, but DE are actually better AND cheaper than disposable ones. If you are saying otherwise, you're delusional.

Thing is: three passes are slower than two, and chopping is something that I found myself doing all the time with the DE. It's a waste of time and skin care products.

My disposable razors cost about $0.50 each, and I only use them to shave my cheeks and neck, so they last about a month. It costs me $6 a year to shave. How could you possibly get cheaper than that?

You can pick up a cheap DE and some blades for less than $10. First couple of times I got really red, tight and sore cheeks but after a couple of weeks I was OK with it if I was very careful. Now it's fast with no irritation or ingrowing hairs.

I only tried it because after years of different cartridges I still got bumps and ingrowing hairs.

>>731729345
>>731729558

Not overpriced. A quality razor will last decades (or more), a lot of good blades are at (or under) $0.20 each, most soaps will last a month or two, and brushes years. Spread over time I'm probably shelling out $50 a year to shave every day as opposed to $6 every four days with those billion blade models.

The razor itself can be expensive ($20-140 from what I've seen), but the blades are as cheap as $10 for 100 and only need to be changed every 2-4 weeks (depending on how often you shave).

Why the fuck would any idiot get something more difficult to use for the sake of some faggatory edgy manly hood ego.

This is equivalent to shitting out in the woods cause using a toilet is for pussy's, downgrading something purposely which technology already achieved for the sake of your pride.

>>731730185
I just soak in very hot water and then use a soft toothbrush and washing up liquid (I think you say "Scrubbing Bubbles" in the USA).

Give another soak in hot water and repeat scrub if need be. Once they're dry I use a metal polish (Simichrome) which I gently rub in with a cheap cloth and then buff out with a microfibre. Nothing complicated and usually comes up a treat.

Just be very careful with gold plating as some of them are a little sensitive to metal polish - GEM Micromatics especially.

True that. I cleaned up my grandads old one the Air Force issued him and I've been using it.

Multiple razors are for retards that need to cover the same spot multiple times. This effectively means you are irritating the skin needlessly for which is only a gimmick.

Double edge razor, decently lathered shaving soap and you its a once over job. No skin irritation and no cuts. Stop being a faggot all your life.

I'm a fan of Dollar Shave Club personally. Pay a few bucks a month and get shit delivered to you. Sure they're mostly just DORCO blades with a few changes (extra support around the blade heads), but they have other good shit like shave butter, after shave cream, and one wipe charlies. and if something goes wrong just write in and they replace shit -- i write in every so often and just get free shit, gotta do it sparingly though or they put a stop on it

>>731730831
I'd agree but as I pointed out I got severe irritation with several brands of cartridge razor. I switched to a DE to see if it helped and after practice I found it did.

There can be a problem for some people that cartridge razors snag and pull hairs. Especially multiblades where the first blade pulls the hair slightly out from the skin and then the second blade cuts the hair at a very low point which then retracts under the skin and can cause an ingrown hair. These can be very painful and unsightly.

I agree there are some cringe DE users online though who think it makes them seem like Sean Connery in his prime.

It feels like after shave treatment like lotion and cold water towel is more important in fighting irritation. So ill just stick with gillette normie shit probably.

If you're really that cheap then ask your tattoo or medfag/hospital security buddies to swipe you a disposable prep razor

Or order a pack of 100 online for the same price as a single normal razor

>>731727219
I use a safety razor and it cuts much better than any of the multiblades I've owned, I highly recommend them. also clearing hair out of them is super easy, cause you can just open it up.

>>731731762

Also Edwin Jagger.....They seem to be quite cheap compared to a 'premium' brand like Merkur.

My DE89 rubber grip is perfect. Although I'd like one with a different handle.

Perhaps even an open comb one. Looking to get a Merkur next.

>>731722480
>not shaving with a chainsaw
you weak chin faggot.

>>731731952
More lazy than cheap, but I think i might check that out. Like amazon or ebay?

>>731722480
Ayy, struth right there.

>>731731102
Never tried it. Got pissed when gilette stopped making carts for my triple blade razor and they wanted $20 for a plastic piece of ship handle and replacement carts were $5 a piece.

Bought a decent DE for $35 with 10 blades and haven't looked back. Last time I bout blades at the pharmacy they were a buck for 10. Win.

>>731731775
My favourites are Wickhams and Saponifico Varesino. A bit pricey but a puck lasts me for over a year and I shave 3-4 times a week.

>>731732214
Yeah, either of those will have a box of 100 for like $30

That's more razor handles than you will ever need though, you'll have to buy more blades later if you don't want to use every single prep razor.

>>731732276
Same here. Got tired of paying $5 per cartridge so I tried DE. Works FAR better and is cheaper.

>>731731102

I checked it once, it's a waste of money. DE shaving is cheaper most of the time...

Although if cartridge shaving is your thing, it might work out even depending on how often you shave.

I whole-heartedly recommend DE shaving though. I was a cartridge shaver at first. But it's really therapeutic, and so interesting.

>>731725359
Astra super platinum or super stainless, or feather. Feather are fucking beautiful.

>>731731932
I tried a lot of pre and post and nothing seemed to help. Now I'm using a DE it seems like a quality shaving soap is most important and a little moisturiser afterwards - nothing expensive just cheap store brand stuff. I use my missus's.

>>731732682
Plus, having the blades on hand is nice.
So fucking useful when you need an incredibly sharp blade

>>731732935

DE shaving has almost no disadvantages, unless you're planning to shave whilst travelling. I hear it's difficult to get it onboard airliner luggage.

Fucking terrorists ruining our shaving.

>>731722480
So what's the cheapest de razor worth buying?

>>731732022
You can get cheap plastic DE's from India on Ebay. They're really light and seem a bit weird at first but are good upon use. Literally under $2 shipped.

There is also a copy of the now dicontinued Merkur Futur being knocked out from China now as well. A solid metal adjustable DE for around $2 shipped and I've read that they're really good.

Whatever you do though don't buy blades from China. Absolutely awful knock-offs that don't do the job.

>>731733155
Then the airport staff near me is incompetent.

>>731733185

Depends where you are. There are always 'newbie' kits available.

Razors, Edwin Jagger do great cheap ones. In fact, Feather are doing they're own razors now.

So long as it isn't dollar store tier, you should be fine with any brand. It's more the blades that make the shave, and not the razor.

>>731729518
With a saftey (double edge) razor it only took me 2-3 shaves to get used to the difference I recommend buying good blades though, they don't have to gr8 just avoid the shitty one like gillette.
>inb4 not calling gillette shitty but they do make low quality DE

>>731733239
since when was the Futur discontinued? I got one like 6 months ago

>>731732653
Funny how things come full circle. As far back as I can remember my dad has used an electric of some sort and got me one for my 14th birthday or something, irritating as fuck. Got fed up with gillete carts and bought one like I watched my grand dad use. I look at it now as trying to build a better mousetrap...

>>731733185
I got the Merkur 34c. 30 bucks on amazon. Will probably outlive me.

>>731733185
see
>>731731762

>>731733239

I guess it's not a bad idea if you're simply curious about DE shaving. But I went straight out and bought an Edwin Jagger razor, it was fairly cheap for my budget.

You need the weight and grip of a proper razor to promote proper technique, a plastic one is just gonna turn you off the idea of DE shaving tbh.

You CAN pick them up at thrift stores and garage sales though. Reddit it full of them. (haha) /r/WickedEdge
>>731733352

This is what 4chan is really all about, people calling each other faggots for the way they shave... awesome

>>731733155
That is the only time I leave my DE at home and ask the hotel for a disposable, because fuck the TSA and fuck the maid who'll steal that shit if it's left out to dry.

>>731730786
Barbasol is great. I don't notice enough of a difference with the soap and brush to use it.

>>731733456
It's all companies trying to make money and people falling for marketing.

>>731733685

Disposable? I feel for you bro. It's just not the same using a disposable. They're barely good enough to take the lint off my polo shirts.

>>731731775
I'm not that Anon, but I like Col. Conk, Van Der Hagen (best "cheap" soap on the market), Mitchell's, Arko (another good cheap soap), and Lightfoot's classic pine.

>>731731102
I switched from dollar shave club to DE. I had mid level tier dollar shave club razor and they were fine honestly, I switched because overall DE is cheaper and I think it's a better quality shave, but I would recommend them if you are going to stick with cartage razors.

>>731734149

Oh. Not heard of most of those. I'm UK fag. Only tried Proraso but I'm sick of the white film it's leaving over my equipment. I'm purely soft water over here, so it's not the water.

I really like menthol though. P green was nice, but underwhelming. White was even better. I'm currently looking at Woolfat

>>731731762
why would you buy barbasol off amazon, it's like a dollar at the store.

>>731733796
I hear that. Oddly enough, a DE was my first real "throwback" moment. Since then, Mr. Coffee burned up, got a percolator from the 50's - 60's, same with toaster - both use a fuck ton of electricity, but they fucking work. Microwave went, wife was cool with not replacing at all. My house is is looking more and more like my grandparents, lol.

>>731733402

>It's more the blades that make the shave, and not the razor.

To a point. Some razors are more aggressive than others.

>>731734387
I didn't I was actually given my can. Just giving links to those interested

>>731734439

Very true! Can't deny that. But for most beginners, they tend to get hung up on the blades, not realising there's a massive different between brands.

It feels SO FUCKING GOOD

>>731733185
I overpaid for mine I spent $80 but it works great. I've also used a $10 one i found on amazon before and butchered my face with it. you should be fine with like a $20-$30 DE

>>731734561
Oh yes. That's why I wouldn't recommend a specific blade for someone starting out in DE shaving, but rather suggest one of the many sample packs available on Amazon (and other places on line). That way you can find the blade that works the best for your razor and your face.

>>731729263

By the way did somebody tried sugaring? I want to try but Idk how to cook this damn caramel. Does anybody have a good recipe?

>>731722480
I shave with my knife I got from the military. No shaving cream or anything.

>>731735059
where do you find one 30¢?

Gillette 5 razor blade 3 dollar can of shaving cream from walmart.

soak face with a hot washcloth for ~2 minutes
apply shaving cream
shave
rinse face with hot water, then cold water
apply no aftersahve

in the last 100 years we've developed this idea that more complicated, chemical enriched lotions and oils are better than water, which is absolute horsecock.

for literally thousands of years people just used water to clean, and they turned out just fine

With a safety razor it's easy as hell. Just remember for the first few times to not push hard with the razor, lean it against the skin at an angle and let the weight of the safety razor be the pressure you apply. Do short strokes instead of long dragging ones, then rinse and repeat. The first few times you shave until you get the hang of it go for hair reduction not hair removal. Know that you're going to have to shave once, re-lather then do a second shave removing more hair. You might have to do three full shave to remove all you hair depending.

After a few shaves you figure out quickly how much pressure to apply and how to get a full shave in 1-2 shaves.

Once you, use a good aftershave.

Aftershave is just perfumed alcohol to disinfect cuts

He'll be fine without.

>>731736993
I always thought it helped close the pores as well, no?

>>731737462
Pores don't work like that and even if they did a splash of cold water would do the same thing

>>731737462
just use cold water anon, alcohol drys the shit out of your skins

it closes your pores in the sense the alcohol evaporates quickly, leaving no water

You should give it another try. Maybe get a variety pack of blades. You can wind up cutting your face if you need more practice or if you are using a blade that is a bad match for you.

I watched the indegogo video about this razor. Everyone who worked on it had beards. I don't really trust the product if the inventors don't even use it

>>731726071
>>731740381
I recommend this too. Not only have I gotten bad blades (but two dollars for ten, just chuck em), but found blades that fit better to my razor as well. I know they're all supposed to be the same, but they're not.

>>731737211
I find it hard to see whats going on with shaving cream. It just gets in the way and I always find myself needing to shave again.

>>731722480
$3 for a pack of blades a month for a closer shave.Free's up money to waste elsewhere.

>>731741438
Ok, the shaving cream I can do without for the most part, it's like a morning ritual. but actually "dry" with not even water? Please explain.

Just a reminder that if you shave at all you are the cancer of the male race, op's a fag for not having a beard for shame

>>731722480
Just your daily reminder that multiblade razors shave better.

>>731741921
No water either. I've just always done that way and never knew about shaving cream until I was 16. By that time I was just used to it.

>>731741776
Not op but I paid $7 for almost 2 years worth of safety razors blades and they're as close a shave as the more expensive ones.

>>731742309
Multiblade razors are specifically designed to cause ingrown hairs, the first few blades tug a hair out of the pore and when the others finally cut it, it snaps back down below the skin

>>731742321
Gotcha, if it works you, it works for you, anon. I always needed a bit of lube, so to speak, to minimize irritation. Water by itself is ok if it's all I have, but I just like the lather, smell, watching it being removed as I shave... my morning ritual makes me feel good.

>>731722480
Actually i just ordered one yesterday

>>731727517
>OSHA's respiratory protection standard (29 CFR 1910.134) specifies certain requirements for employers to follow when their employees must wear respirators, which would be the case in sewage treatment facilities. The standard states that the employer cannot permit respirators with tight-fitting facepieces to be worn by employees who have facial hair that comes between the sealing surface of the facepiece and the face, or that interferes with valve function. While the standard does not ban beards per se, it does require employers to ensure that bearded employees who are required to wear tight-fitting facepieces trim their beards so that they do not interfere with the sealing surface of the respirator or are not so large that they could interfere with valve function.

That guy's right. DE is cheaper.

About $10 on ebay can get you 100 blades that have two sides each. So at your pace that's $.05 a month, or you could say $10 would last you 16.6 years.

>>731728881
It can and is. Some of us probably have thicker facial hair than you, which makes disposables useful once and only once, if that.

You don't need shaving cream to use a disposable razor.
I've dry shaved since boot camp. I can literally fucking shave while driving.

You might not need it to use a double edged one either-- I borrowed one once and didn't use anything but water, but I wasn't used to it so it took a while.

Personna. Made in the U.S.A. I got a 100-pack like 4 years ago for something like $18. I probably won't need to buy more razors for another decade.

>>731736908
No, it really irritates my skin.

I picked up a DE Gillette from the 50s at an antique shop a few years ago and haven't looked back. If I am trying to get back to babyface I just use an electric razor first, but neck and fine tuning DE all the way.

I feel pretty pampered after I finish. Was gifted a straight razor a few years ago but never got it properly sharpened and am too cheap to get a decent strop.
