BAD GOY
BUY THE WOKE RAZOR RIGHT NOW!!!

>>15317816
> Stop giving razor companies money

> Buy these razors instead

>>15317842
Yeah that’s how it works you fat retard.

>>15317842
It ends up being pennys a month though anon compared to all the money I used to spend on cartridges its much better.
I honestly dont know why we had to go with multi blade razors , it was a mistake .

>>15317847
TIL companies that make razors aren't razor companies

>>15317858
Not him but they are at least not huge companies that fucking hate men.
They are mostly japanese, indian and russian.
I will give money to the godless russians before I give one more red cent to the woke faggots at gillette

>>15317858
You have to pick your battles anon. I cant make razor blades at home out of tin can lids

>>15318016
How do I differentiate the morally good and the morally bad coprate razor entities?

The answer is they're all the same ..

I switched to a DE but I still buy Gillette shaving cream and Gillette razor blades

>>15318111
why you will do that?

>>15317816
Shill thread? Or shill thread?

>>15318056
You're being deliberately obtuse you old sack of shit.
How many razor companies sell you a 3 pack of 5-blade cartridge heads for $30? The answer is like two of them.

>derby razors
ugh I hate these fuckers and it's all I have at the moment
gilette platinum have been best for me

>>15317816
>Honestly guys, stop giving money to these horrible disposable razor companies, this is cheaper and better.

what the fuck do you mean? THEY'RE THE VERY SAME COMPANIES.
at least for the most part.

and no, my shaves haven't been better with retarded boomer razors. Disposables are still better.

>>15317848
>I honestly dont know why we had to go with multi blade razors , it was a mistake .

it gets the job done faster and is less of a hassle without needing 4 passes to scrape hair off because that shitty one blade didn't catch it the first time. those are obvious advantages.

>>15318164
>How many razor companies sell you a 3 pack of 5-blade cartridge heads for $30?

I only know of gillette and even I find that proglide fusion ball shit razor ridiculous. you could just buy Bic Flex razors and get away pretty cheap. I really like Bic razors recently. Even Wilkinson S. razors can be cheap. it doesn't need to be a Hydro 5 Sense.

>>15317816

Glad you discovered DE, op, but your a faggot. Eat shit.

So, Sputnik

Anon, Sputnik brand is literally owned by Gillette

Been shaving with a razor for years now and I'm never going back

>>15317816
How are Derby razors? I got some free ones but I've been using persona razors for a few years and think they're really good already, and they're made in the US rather than next to some toxic sludge factory in china

This is my biggest fear.
I go way out of my way to not buy gillette products but how can I tell what else they own?
Is there a list somewhere on the interwebs?

>>15319202
Just look up a brand and if see if it’s parent company is Proctor & Gamble

>>15318999

I see we have another Pitt-pill’t individual present

>>15319202
Blades can be very different in different razors also sometimes sharper blade better than mild

>>15319202
Well, I have bad news for you.

I have two lying around at home. And don't tell me to buy feather blades because if all the other companies don't make good blades then it probably isn't about the blades.

t. wasteful slobbish neckbeard

Partly related - about straight razors - why is plebbit & co so full of the idea that you need to be a fucking wizard to hone one? "Don't try, pay a pro to do it".

I honed some with zero issue, stropped them, shave with them - superbly cheap, close shave, pleasant.

Are people into wet shaving that inept at tools? I mean, some - but all of them?

I sharpen a bunch of things myself - knives, chisels, plane irons, saws - while this need a keener edge & probably doesn't need to be started at grit 400 or something - it is actually easier, the spine guides you, no need to freehand even.

What am I missing?

>>15322064
Plebbitors do not actually experience anything themselves. They deal only in hearsay. Like a game of telephone, they’ve gone from “slightly tricky to do” to “only possible by the most skilled man in the world”.

>>15322064
I think most "subcultures" particularly on a place like Reddit become anal retentive

>>15322094
>>15322098
Not even just reddit, some wet shaving forums were the same.

Are people in general so removed from maintaining their stuff? I mean, a blade is a blade is a blade.

Also goes for stuff like "you're not sharpening the blade with the strop, you're aligning it" - which is horseshit to anyone who has ever sharpened anything.

And these people will at the same time preach like they're the ones looking beyond repeated misconceptions.

Honestly, it isn't that difficult to hone a straight, nor to shave with one, and the expensive DE holders seem especially autistic to me - a fancy holder for the disposable thing you actually use.

>>15322064
>I sharpen a bunch of things myself - knives, chisels, plane irons, saws
Do you do these well? Most people dont.
Most americans cant sharpen a goddamn kitchen knife much less a plane iron or a good quality chisel . They just cant get general concept. I finally stopped trying to teach employees how to sharpen shit and I do it myself while I watch tv or just send stuff out to a local pro.

>>15317816
Safety razors are incredibly based and just as easy to use as the shitty disposable razors that everyone uses. Every normie I try to convert is terrified of them though. When I bought one as a teenager, my dad was convinced that I was going to cut myself to shit. I'd say it's slightly easier to give yourself razor burn if you shave wrong, but it's just as easy to cut yourself as with a cartridge razor. The next step is a straight razor, but I know how faggy it makes me look to own one, so I always hide it when I have people over. It really is unparalleled in how close you can get with such ease.

>>15322375
just be yourself

>>15322320
Are you honestly being pious about sharpening shit?

JFC, it's not hard. Most people can sharpen unserrated pocket knives, axes, chisels, bayonets.

Most Americans don't sharpen kitchen knives because they buy micro sweater knives from Walmart for $1.75 each not worth the effort

>>15322647
>Most people can sharpen
They cant though, and I am a blue collar guy in an industry where shit needs to be sharpened all the time.
They do not have the patients and attention to detail enough to maintain a decent angle.
The guy who trained me used a microscope to show me where I was going wrong and I kept one at the sharpening station when I had one that I THOUGHT would get used .
The fucking guys use it to look at bugs and stupid shit they find in the parking lot

>>15322726
who sharpens shit at a kitchen

>>15322726

that's because blue collar wage cucs do the bare minimum in life

>>15320708
Retard alert

>>15322320
I like to think I manage okay, buddy, and I am very much not American. Did visit, lovely country, though. My setup isn't anything fancy, some diamond plates for the chisels & plane irons, used with window liquid. Strop on some leather from my granddads closet with some fine stropping compound. Does me okay, work mostly with ash & pine, as they're local.

And I don't doubt most people don't sharpen shit - I can tell from the knives they have in their kitchen. Just that I would expect "some" people who wet shave to do it - seems like a more diy way to shave, so overlap on interests. That's what got me interested anyhow.

Whereas the "community" in fact seems to be sad weirdos whose only identity is their collection of (probably rancid at this point) shaving creams with hipster labels & the 5 shiny DE razors at 150 a pop - which provide zero function whatever you pay for them.

Basically the male equivalent of the women with those 40 almost-empty bottles of makeup or parfume that take up the entire countertop.

Which is the lamest direction to take a thing.

wilkinsons blades are nice but their plastic handles are trash.

One of many websites that took 5 seconds of googling friend

>>15323930
what? why are you buying a plastic DE

>>15323979
£5 with a 10 pack of blades from my local shop

anything reddit like that, fountain pens, journals, razors, some people even collect dumbass obsolete gaming consoles and apple branded obsolete elctronics

whatever if they want to landfill up their homes fuck it

>>15323981
you know metal DE's are a dollar right?

>>15323985
im not in the US, DE razor blade shaving is basically only a hipster and a granddad thing here so i have to go to the local granddad store where they cater to pensioners. the cheapest metal DE handle ive seen in person is £35 and looks like shit.

thoughts on this?
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-QUALITY-VINTAGE-DOUBLE-EDGE-SAFETY-RAZOR-MENS-RAZORS/114245752763

it appears to be the same handle recommended on reddit by people whove talked about chinese DE handles before.

>>15323993
Just get a vintage Gillette on eBay. Some models go for next to nothing and will last a lifetime or two.
My superspeed is older than my grandparents and still looks great.

>>15324040
It looks cheap as hell, and the knurling looks like a joke.

>>15324058
theyre not cheap in the UK, all the ones ive seen are almost as pricey as new ones.

any suggestions? bear in mind im using this atm

>>15324062
You need to learn a bit about vintage razors to identify interesting models. Some sellers don't know what they are selling,

If you don't want to bother, here is a superspeed for 33£.
You need to clean it and it's not exactly cheap, but you won't find this build quality in a modern razor at this price.

>>15324074
thats more than i can justify at the moment. right now i need something cheap to keep my face smooth, and nothing more. if it comes to it ill just buy another plastic handle for £5.

>>15324079
I'd say at least have fun and pick a QShave Merkur Futur clone on Aliexpress for 5£.
Yintals looks decent too.

>>15324099
>QShave Merkur Futur clone
why that in particular? those things look like they have terrible grip.

>>15324152
For the transgressive fun of using a clone.
But it's supposed to be very aggressive, so actually don't do that if you're not sure of what you want.

No one will praise a 5£ razor, but you can afford what you can afford. I doubt that flea markets are open in the UK this year, so it's not like you have a ton of choice. Your eBay chinese razor will be decent.

>>15324177
isnt it adjustable though? if thats the case then cant i adjust the level of aggression in the shave.

the futur clones are a little more expensive at pushing £10 on average. there are some cheap futur clones but given prior experience with aliexpress im inclined to pay a little more for the brand thats got a good reputation. at the end of the day, i just want a half decent comfortable shave, and the thread not to break. im sure the western made razor heads are better but as long as its good enough i can put up with a cheap one, its just a case of if its at least as good as my cheap plastic wilkinson handles.

fuck it, bought the chinky razor. heres hoping in a months time ill have a proper shave again.

Any advice on non-hipster lines of shaving items? Proraso & Mühle are what I'm familiar with right now.

By hipster I mean "weird name, kitch label, black package, 200% markup".

Nivea's after shave has done miracles for my skin.

What more do you need than that?
Some good blades then stop shopping anon.
Seems like you are more of a shopper than a shaver

>>15325552
You dont like the classic antique looking ones?

>>15319202
thank you for this anon. i started shaving once upon a time with feathers and wondered why i was hacking my fucking skin up into a bloody mess, until i bought an assorted grab-bag of blades from bezos and discovered i need to be in that astra-shark range

also OP is correct, spending unnecessary money on grooming is for fags

>>15322094
Redditors are hobby-collectors. They want the basest level of investment in a gear-based hobby at which point they can add it to their "portfolio". This usually involves buying the right things: eg. a seiko 5 watch, red wing boots, uniqlo button down at which point they can say they're done. If this is your relationship to the hobby, questioning the received wisdom is too much effort - you're already on track to gearing up for your next subreddit scout badge.

>>15317864
>Not him but they are at least not huge companies that fucking hate men.
i'd bet money whatever razors you buy are gillette. they bought out a ton of foreign manufacturers.

unless you're using feathers, in which case cool but you're not saving money, those blades are pricey.

>>15324152
you can also buy the "River Lake" brand merkur futur clone. it's probably the same thing. although that one comes with a leather sleeve. very nice.

although I don't recommend that razor simply because chink razors come scratched somewhere. I have a shitty scratch on the top of mine. so I figure it won't be different with Qshave ones. it performs well enough though. still better than buying a 80 bucks original that works just the same.

>>15324186
>its just a case of if its at least as good as my cheap plastic wilkinson handles

I'm sorta pissed because I bought the WS Classic safety razor and I liked it but since it's shitty plastic the screw from the top broke off and now the mechanism can't shut the razor no more. that's why it's good to invest in a full metal razor. the WS vintage one they sell with a butterfly open mechanism is kinda neat. nice grip too but it won't have blade adjusting like the merkur futur and it clones has

>>15324278
>BIC Astor blades made in Athens, Greece

I like Bic products and those surely aren't bought out by Gillette.

>>15324152
>terrible grip

I own one and I gotta say that you won't notice anything.

De shaving is great, it stops my razer burn, is cheaper and can chop through my thick hair in a single pass

>>15325538
Don't worry about me, buddy, I've currently got one half-empty bottle of Nivea aftershave & two soaps. Let the collectors play on plebbit.

>>15317816
My advice is to just get an electric foil razor. Wet shaving is just overcomplicating something as trivial as shaving.

>>15326108
exact same thing happened to me, gutted because its a nice enough handle for the money.

>>15326120

as someone with some nasty ingrowns because of that horrid little device, no.

OP says he is very happy with the DE. Sounds like he was not looking for any advice at all

>>15326507
What's complicated about putting foam on your face and shaving with a razor? Fucking zoomers I swear

DE razors should never have been replaced . They were always better

shaving bump

>>15327268
Most people who switch to DE shaving also switch to using shaving soap which is a complication

>>15328381
But thats only because soap is better than shave cream with no brush .
You can still shave better with a DE and canned foam than with a cartridge razor

I have sensitive skin and I was getting some bad razor burn with the blades that came in the kit I bought. I got myself some feather razor blades and it has made the world of difference. If you aren't happy with the results you're getting try switching razors around to find one that agrees with you.

I really fucking love shaving with a straight razor, feels clean & fresh. Never had that with a cartridge, which I used for over 10 years.

It's not always a perfect shave, though moreso is than isn't, but it is always gratifying. Also, using a brush has made me appreciate that I have a rather nice neck.

I bought a nice one and a nice electric trimmer. I hardly ever shave but they were both great investments.

>>15336611
Why do you need both? A DE razor can shave off a full beard with trimming at all

>>15338332
You don’t need a fucking conditioning strip lol. Feather blades are still cheaper in the long run. You can get it done in 10 minutes. No matter what you’re shaving with, you’ll have to do multiple passes if you want to be clean shaven. One pass with a feather blade can be close enough for most people.

>>15338332

You're right that DE razors are cheaper and better than anything short of an experienced man with a freshly sharpened straight-razor.
BUT buying Derby as depicted is equivalent of buying Gillette. Not just is it mediocre quality, but it is literally owned by Gillette.

Buy something decent like Wilkinson, or if you're experinced something great like Feather.

Straight edge with replaceable blades require even more effort than a safety razor. They turn out the best shaves for those willing to put in the time and effort, but they're often too much for all but the most dedicated.

>>15338309
>removing the one fucking advantage of a straight razor
why

>>15338636
Is the advantage that you can just sharpen it and not have to use anything disposable? I think for barbers this still makes perfect sense, new perfectly sharp blade for every customer and you don't have to worry about sharpening and hygiene.

>>15322726
got any tips for knife sharpening? i got a 1000/6000 grit whetstone to try and maintain my knives at home and while its better than the shitty sharpening tools you can get at stores its hardly as good as it was when it was new, nor is it as good as ive seen a lot of youtube guys get their knives.

>>15338643
yes, thats the idea. on the flip side if you are eliminating the one advantage it has over a DE razor.

Thats not enough , that is only part of a sharpening system.

For context, I shave every other day.

I have a beard and just shave my neck. I've tried 3 types of blades recommended here, a razor recommended here, and several shave soaps. I've watched many youtube videos and read many articles. No matter WHAT, my shit bleeds. No matter how careful I am, no matter how many times I've practiced. Either I have the most bitch skin possible, or all of you safety-razor br0s are purposely omitting the fact that you cut yourself too. I really wanted to make this shit work.

>>15343621
Do you shave yourself in a rush? I don't usually cut myself with a razor but today i cut myself twice because i was trying to be fast.

>>15343628
I've tried slow, fast, with the grain, against the grain, everything. I wonder if some people just don't have the skin for it.

>>15343621
have you tried applying next to no pressure on it?

>>15343724
but then he would remove next to nothing. unless he really uses feather blades which seem to be the holy grail in the shaving community.
I'm not an advocate for safety razors btw. I just faced similar problems with them.

>>15343735
Even with the dullest most shitty blades you shouldn’t be applying pressure. No wonder you kept cutting your face up.

>>15343951
That was a different guy. I have certainly used zero pressure and still been cut to shreds.

>>15343674
Have you tried short stubby strokes?
Have you tried blades that are less sharp? I know I cant shave with a feather or persona but other duller blades like treets work great for me
Short stubby fast strokes

>>15319332
I do not buy any of these brands considering they are garbage, unhealthy, environment destroying, junk. They also fund terrible groups who will destroy good people in other countries.

Boycott with your dollar, forever.

>>15335971
I bought this and love it. I shaves body and face without ever nicking. This thing is the best.

>>15335971
The Phillips One Blade is all I use, for everything related to hair on my entire existence. You are right. It is the best.

>>15335971
It looks even better in person. It's small and looks simple. The coloring is also best in person.

>>15345293
you don't buy a single product from any of them? not even toothpaste or detergent??

you must live off the land, shit is harder than being a vegan

>>15345317
Toothpaste is a waste of money. I just use baking soda to brush. I also use only use baking soda to wash my clothing. The problem with those brands is that they all contain harmful ingredients, so avoiding them is necessary. The reality is, it's quite easy to avoid them. For example, there is no need for a laundry detergent market once you look into how the mechanics of washing clothes works. So you replace all that junk. Look into the ways of the past. The 1950's has really imprinted on us in the US. Look before the Great Depression. I also only eat plant based and never eat out (not salt or oil). It really is not hard, it just requires a mental adjustment. We get accustomed to things without ever asking. I do smoke cigarettes sometimes. Maybe that's in the diagram (looks like mostly food and hygiene products).

>>15345402
baking soda is too abrasive to use more than once a week. it will fuck teh enamel

>>15345404
Baking soda is softer than the material it is exposed to, therefore it's not very abrasive. However, other toothpastes on the market are.

>>15345415
interesting, thanks

>>15345421
No problem! I thought as well that it was very abrasive. I was relieved to find it wasn't after I was worried I harmed my enamel. Come to find out, sodium fluoride (industrial material, not to be confused with natural fluoride) can erode developing enamel in children. That's why my teeth have markings on them. I used to live in an area where it was used a great deal in the municipal water. I think they lowered the levels now.

The cigarettes I smoke also are of organic tobacco plants. I order whole dried leaves online and roll with natural rolling papers.

The smoke is the only harmful thing (causes cancers, etc). Nicotine is the equivalent of caffeine.

Nothing I have said invalidates my words simply because I contradict with my actions on occasion with a cigarette.

In other words, you're the actual idiot when reply to me like that so harshly and without much effort.

Is there much difference between a straight razor that uses disposable blades and a cut throat razor?

>>15348657
>organic
Do you understand that's meaningless?

bump

>>15348835
Yes, one is gay, the other meanwhile is gay.

Though honestly - get a straight razor, they're fun.

>>15349885
>Yes, one is gay, the other meanwhile is gay.

So shaving razors are like the two wolves that lives inside of me?

>>15350162
I'm very pleased you got where I was going with this.

I switched from cartridges to a regular straight razor & am very pleased. Also gay.

>>15318773
motherfucker if you use a fresh feather or astra blade it's two passes, no matter how coarse your beard hair is
shut your ass up

anon who bought the imitation merkur adjustable chink razor here, its actually not half bad compared to my old razor. granted, my dumb ass got the settings the wrong way around and shaved on the roughest setting which means my neck is sore and a little red, but when i moved down to my chest and used numbers 1 and 3 i got a pretty damn good shave from it.

Bong here. I'm looking for some soap and a brush preferably not chinkshit and not made by Gilete or any other big companies. Any recs? the cheaper the better.

>>15352033
Cheaper means china.
You could get the plastic feather thats made in japan but that is still kind of chinkey in the eyes.

>>15317816
What's a good de razor to get?

>>15352173
alright maybe I don't want super cheap. I'd like it to be badger hair at least. There's lot's of cheap badger hair brushes but I don't want to get conned.

>>15352033
Try Executive Shaving for badger brushes, they have a sale on. For soaps try Taylor of Old Bond Street, Cella, Proraso

>>15352745
I actually prefer a high end synthetic as do many. Badger and boar smell funny and do not perform any better

>>15352763
Executive shaving has a few for sale, I'm looking into those. I'm looking at your soap recs too. Thanks.
>>15352788
(checked)
Really? I know that some people prefer synthetic but I thought badger hair was still the gold standard for most. If I got synthetic, what should I look out for?

>>15352805
First figure out what knot size you want. I like a small knot because I feel I waste less soap that way and it only takes like two seconds longer to get my face fully lathered.
After that I would just find a cheaper one that has nice ratings on amazon.
In truth , right now I am using a small boar brush because I left my synthetic in a hotel room a while back.
It really does not make a huge difference which brush you use.

>>15353082
Hmm alright I'll look into it. Thanks.

>>15352788
>Badger and boar smell funny
My badger only smelt bad for a week and now it's fine, just smells of soap/neutral

>>15352470
Edwin Jagger DE89 with a knurled or lined handle

>>15319202
astra is by far the best i have ever used

>>15345317
>not even toothpaste or detergent??
Correct.

>>15353160
thats true enough. my old boar brush is vintage and it does not really smell much. I still prefer a synthetic though.

>>15353694
>astra
owned by gillette

>>15322153
A steel re-aligns the burr (although many are also abrasive).

What a strop does is reduce the sharpness of the blade at the very tip, but by doing so, dramatically increases the keenness, it will also remove any foil that might form from sharpening on a fine stone.

>>15354853
i dont fucking care retard that has nothing to do with the quality of the razor

>>15354923
>i dont fucking care
wow anon
just wow

guy who bought the chinky merkur futur clone here, cut myself shaving today when i ever so slightly lost my grip on the handle. im thinking maybe stick some rubber on it or something to make it more grippy?

>>15355007
i'm sorry

>>15355067
Ok anon I certainly have to accept a heartfelt apology.

Is there anything more rage inducing than The View? Joy Behar looks like a typical witch they used to burn.

>>15355426
also, Canadian version, The Social, a mix of hardcore blue-pilling and the shallowest entertainment discussions

Japanese kamisori straight razor
I have a Swedish steel iwasaki myself because his kid doesn’t do tamahagane anymore.
Best option. Great shave. You don’t depend on corporations and you learn how to maintain a tool. Great life skills.

>>15336469

kek

>>15355450
Weeb faggot

>>15355450
You spent this much on a razor?

>>15317816
Just buy a Philips Oneblade. A blade lasts like 4 months and it's extremely close to a razor.

>>15319332
Just think of all the death, misery and immense suffering represented by these bright colours. Also never knew that Monster was coca cola lol.

>>15356030
How can the chinkey eyes justify those kind of prices? What the WTF??

>>15356101
Silly gaijin pay hundreds of dollars for small piece of fish on rice

After trying many brands of soap, this is the one that works the best with my water by far.
If anyone is struggling to get a good lather, check this one out
Not a shill btw, just trying to be helpful

Best safety razor for shaving my nuts/cornhole?

>>15356493
That doesn't sound too safe.

>>15319068
I hate mine. Working my way through a 100-pack...

>>15338309
Straight razors are mor comfortable I find.

>>15356030
No. I saw that one though. No idea what the difference is. Mine was $400 at fendrihan

>>15356493
Don't shave your asshole hairs, you need those hairs.

>>15357833
Why?

>>15357854

>>15357833
the nip nongs do well enough without them, shaving your arsehole is fine

>>15356493
dont, for that are nothing is better than a small disposable so you can get in the crevices easily.

>>15346321
it's shilled here very hard

Should I stay with beard, guys?

>>15357992
Forgot the image

>>15326507
I can never get a close shave with them

>>15357870
That guy must be fat as shit. I’ve been shaving my ass for years and it’s one of the best decisions I ever made. Not a faggot but it makes wiping properly so much easier. An abundance of ass hair captures and holds sweat and shit so that guy’s meme story makes no sense

>>15326507
Can you recommend one that will give me a very close shave without fucking my shit up pham?

>>15358946
Try the merkur knock offs
Maybe an adjustable and then a sampler pack of blades.
Keep trying new blades and adjustments till you hit the sweet spot

about to shave with a straight razor for the first time, wish me luck lads

>>15359558
Don't press it, and don't raise the angle if it doesn't seem to cut. You'll have a bad time.

Bought a DE razor at an antique store for $6. 100 shark blades on amazon for $5. Let these retards keep buying disposable razors who gives a shit if they’re throwing money away

>>15357870
Hot. Do you have more?

>>15358156
Philips oneblade

>>15359159
Sounds like an expensive PITA
