started out with mach 3s, then made the move to dollar shave club (definitely inferior, but you get what you pay for )
recently got a safety razor and while i like the weighted handle i don't get the point? the shave is exactly the same |

I use a safety razor and van der hagen blades. The shave is just as close as with any other 5 blade disposable I've used but I pretty much never get razor burn or ingrowns any more since i started using it.

I use the Merkur Futur DE razor, shaves great and being German made feels very substantial and well engineered.

Similarly I have a few nice silver tip brushes and frequently grab my cheapest boars hair. And I seem to have landed on Mitchell's Wool Fat and Speick for shaving cream over much more expensive ones I've tried. |

However it comes back to blades. Try a sample pack or two. I think I went through ten to twelve brands and models before landing on one that works for my beard. Personna Med Preps, but Feathers were a close second. Merkur blades are awful and some of the Gillette's are good, but some are wildly bad. |

Dollar shave club. One set of 4 blades lasts me forever and I shave like maybe twice a week or once a week if I'm feeling a bit bumish. After a week it bothers me so I have to shave. I dunno how beard guys can deal with that crap on their face.
I tried harrys once. I found their blades butchered my face and I also found they blades would rust. I leave my stuff in the shower. I find if I shave in the shower (after I've showered) never get any irritation. Unless I use harrys, then |

I use the same POS Gillette razor I've been using for a decade or more. Twin blade with some BS white bar that's supposed to lubricate your face as you shave. Whatever the F that means.
That said, it works, so why mess with success?

Gillette fusion for sure BUT I have 3 women in my house, wife and twin girls, they steal my once used razors for legs (they claim) a men's razor slightly used is better than ANY woman's razor? (Goldilocks) not to sharp, Resulting in me going to cvs every week...
My son is shaving now (13) he is only allowed to use buzzers (cheap brand) trying to give the kid time before the Miller curse of hourly hair growth, my josh looks like 20, consistently being offered alcoholic beverages @ restaurants |
