Which one, /fa/?

Double-edge razor. Cheap, close shave, and I don't cut myself at all because I know what to do.

No shaving brushes or anything like that. Just massaging in some shaving foam.

this this this. i always suffered horrible ingrowns and the infections that come with it, tried everything under the sun including antibiotics and steroidal creams...a DE razor cured it.

>>12411409
not op but its not edgy its just a closer shave and after you get the hang of it you barely ever cut yourself. it's also so so much cheaper

>>12411409
was that pun intentional?

anyways, there's nothing edgy or tryhard about using a simple double-edge razor.

well said

Yeah disposable is the way to go, just make sure to switch razor after a couple weeks or so.
It's more comfortable, closer shave and basically no irritation if done well.

I use a disposable razor up to 10 shaves and throw it out. I guess you're only supposed to use it once.

>>12411797
depends, if u need to shave ur hair off daily then get safety razor but if u just want to trim/good enough shave then electric could be fine

in terms of price i think DE is hella cheap, as in mayb 50ish for the razor, 10 for soap, 10 for a big ass supply of razor blads (cheapest part of DE), then 10-20 for alum block/witchhazel and aftershave
vs
around 50-120 for a nice non shitty electric

also in the morning u cant be lazy with DE, so no music and budget around 10 or so min for prep/lather/shave/second pass/cleanup/post shave

>>12413280
that stuff is optional; barbasol + DE is just as easy as cartridge

I don't wanna be a fedora-wearing faggot but if you want a close shave then go for a DE razor. Electric razors are good if you want to keep a stubble and the only reason anyone uses cartridge razors on their face is because it's quicker than having to lather up and shave yourself with a safety razor.
I have insanely sensitive skin and shaving with a cartridge razor always gave me razor burn and skin bumps, even though I shaved only twice a week. Now I shave almost everyday with a cheap DE razor and I have no razor burn whatsoever.

does anyone have a R41? I used a different de razor before so I'm not new to them but I can't seem to shave my chin with it. it just doesn't shave anything in that region at all but it's great everywhere else. my old razor head didn't have that problem at the chin

>>12411353
Left for me. Not as close a shave, but it made me more likely to shave daily instead of 2-3 times/week

>>12413310
>weak beard
Should try that on a thick beard

>>12411366
DE if you're shaving often.
If you don't shave every day or every other day, shavette. It works better on long hair.

>>12411353
Why do people think shaving with a safety razor is edgy? It's just an old method coming back because of all of those shit multi blade cartridge razors. In terms of saving money and health I'd go with the machine.

Fuck beards.

>>12411797
only about pricing really. cartridges, no matter what anyone says to me, are superior in every way, but there so fucking expensive.

i shave with derby extra double edge blades, costed me about 12 cents CAD per blade. use new blade every shave and get about 95% of the shave i could get from a gillette fusion.

that and whatever shit they put into canned foam irritates my skin, so theres that aspect too.


The saftey razor movement is kind of in this weird place right now, kind of like people who are vegans or people who do crossfit. They kind of have this annyoing smugeness to them
>omg how can you shave with cartidges there so lame!!!
>bruh im shaving like my grandfather like a real man your a fucking pussy use a safety
but as people (via internet of course) "open there eyes" per say to the idea of using a safety razor, it's becoming more popular.

>>12414640
i've seriously been thinking about this. I don't like having 2 sides to my razor kind of fucks with me. always telling mysel to switch sides. Besides single edge razors are almost exactly half the price of double edges, so even better.

>>12411695
Who are you quoting?

>>12415248
>only about pricing really. cartridges, no matter what anyone says to me, are superior in every way, but there so fucking expensive.

I dunno, man. I used cartridges up until about 20, then switched to DE razors. At the time it was just because I was having a thing and started collecting them obsessively.

I've given up on the meme but i still use them to shave. Then I got a free sample from Harry's, and figured I'd go back to carts. It really isn't as comfortable as DE.

Carts, for me at least, always feel like they're tugging the hairs out. Even if they're new. DE just feels like it's cutting.

This is what I use. Cheap as fuck, use some tube-soap, brush, and some nice organic aftershave balm.

The shave is great, I smell great, and there's no burns or ingrown hairs.

This only works if you have incredible skin and don't get ingrown hairs/irritation.
Also, you must either be incredibly stupid or bought a cheapo safity razor if you cut yourself.

>>12417954
i had the same issue with electric. you have to experiment to find the electric that works for you, and stick with it for at least a month. some people's face/hair works better with a rotary, others with a foil.

>>12417839
This, all you need is one (or maybe two) fucking blades, makes for a cleaner shave.

I used the BIC two bladed blue disposables WITHOUT THAT FUCKING GEL STRIP

FUCK THAT GEL SHIT

does anyone here think about the environmental impact of disposable and cartridge systems?

nah?

Learn to wet shave with the cartridge razor, then move onto a safety

I hated shaving before and thought of it as a chore, now it's something I can tolerate. It takes a while when you're learning, but it's more comfortable and beneficial
> exfoliates
> closer shave
> cheaper
> better skin treatment
Sure you can come up with plenty more reasons

Moving up from cartridge and shitty foam was a great decision

For those interested, the Badger and Blade forums helped me out quite a bit, along with mantic59's videos on Youtube

do you use a soap and a brush
or just some stuff from a can?

>>12418678
DE razor is the worst meme. I've tried various razors, blades, soaps and shaving techniques and I still can't shave without ripping my face apart and it takes half an hour to shave. The hair on my chin is just too dense and coarse for a single blade. Wet shaving is good enough if you have baby pubes for facial hair.

objectively the best setup:
Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89LBL, improvement on the Murkur 34C which is comparable/better to $100+ razors - $31 on Amazon
Blades: 5 decent DE blades come with the DE89LBL, once you wear through those you can move on to feathers if you feel comfortable or whatever you prefer (you can get sample kits if you're autistic enough) - $0 for now
Brush: Maggard 24mm Marble Synthetic brush off ebay - 14$ FS
Soap: Proraso soap on Amazon - $9-$10
Aftershave: Thayer's rose petal witch hazel - $8

Amazon stuff together gets you FS, coming out to ~50$ in cart depending on tax + 14$ for the brush is about 65$ in grand total, with soap that will last you a few years and a brush and razor that will likely last you your whole life. Only thing you need to sustain are the blades which are significantly cheaper in the long run compared to disposables.

>>12419934
you can also get slightly more autistic about soaps by replacing the proraso with a barrister and mann for 13$

>>12414597
A lot of the people who use one are very hipster-y about it.

>>12411353
Both. You use the electric to knock off most of it and then clean up with the standard razor.

Safety razor for when I want an actual smooth shave.
