I have the cheapest one on Amazon. It was six bucks delivered and came with 5 blades. It is a Qshave but I think the blades were rebranded personas .
I also have some super cheapo Treet brand blades .

[Anonymous No.15471605]

how often do you change blades?

[Anonymous No.15471607]

Unironically go to reddit. This board has decided (and reasonably so,) that wet shaving doesn't need to be posted often.
Find a razor you like
Find a brand of blade you like
You're done. Shave how often you want. There's nothing more to discuss.

I got a Rockwell and it works well, I'd say go for one that weighs a bit more because, like a hammer, you can let its weight work for you.
I'm not saying go to reddit as a joke or anything, they have boards about just shaving, and you'll find more info there, this is an image board, posting pictures of razors is boring.

Wet shaving is also a pretty cool hobby and is def /fa/ related.
The other thing is that people here dont understand about that wet shaving is way better for your skin than cartridge and you get a much better shave.
We really need to keep these threads going until everyone gets the message
Its even better for women to shave their snatches with it

I doubt that. I mean it depends where you live but I recently bought a WS Classic DE Razor which is all plastic and a metal core in the handle and it cost me 2.77 euros or something. so it was ridiculously cheap and had 5 blades that came with it.

Razor - Feather ad2
Blade - Astra Platinum (almost as sharp as feather and considerably less expensive)
Soap - The Noble Otter Barrbarr (their soap base is dummy thicc, and I'm soft for the Redwall-inspired marketing. Their scents can be a bit powdery, but not too bad)

[Anonymous No.15476150]

>>15476103
it's honestly fine and works well. you can adjust it like the actual merkur futur but the weight is different and the balance point too. it's off-set and it's therefore more top heavy than the MF. I don't exactly like that though because one time I hit my chin with it and it was kinda like a hammer and then I was bleeding a bit. But I'm clumsy and you can still avoid that. it can be an advantage too if it's top-heavy since it helps you shave.

this video should help to understand it. he explains it all in detail and compares both razors and shaves with it.

[Anonymous No.15476161]

>>15471605
I don't know the right balance, and it depends on the quality of the razor anyway.

I've been changing every 3 shaves, but I also don't buy the most expensive blades, i.e. feather

Did you guys actually stick to using a safety razor? Its okay but the routine takes so long I went back to using 4+ blade systems for a much quicker closer shave

Where is the evidence that single blade is betterfor the skin than multiple? most single blade shaves require two passes to even come close to cartridge finish.
I assume you don't have the evidence but what's the thinking behind cartridges being worse for skin?

source? cartridges do not irritate my skin at all. single blade was horrible on my neck.

Resurgence of single blade shaving is an influencer / reddit meme to sell all sorts of creams. post shave moisturisers and fancy handles. Its probably cheaper overall desu but cartridges dont break my bank, personally

[Anonymous No.15476332]

>>15476193
I personally don't. I just keep a DE razor so I have something to use once I run out of cartridge blades and feel like being a cheapskate. You're right about system cartridge razors btw. it's much less hassle.

>>15476239
>Those extra blades dont do shit besides irritate your skin

that's not true because you got a lube strip and if you get a based cartridge razor like WS Hydro 5 then all the blades even have bladeguards on each individual blade. I never have any irritation with that one.

[Anonymous No.15476378]

>>15476259
>single blade was horrible on my neck.
This is the problem , there is a learning curve. Everyones beard needs a slightly different combination of aggressive razor and blade sharpness.
You cant just buy one off the internet and think its going to work for you without experimenting .
This is why so many have a bad first experience and go back to cartridge razors that are one size fits all and not great for anyone.

[Anonymous No.15476384]

>>15476150
thanks! i have a cheap one right now but from the video it sounds like a quality razor makes a huge difference

[Anonymous No.15476410]

>>15476384
yeah but I still personally wouldn't buy a MF which costs 80 bucks or something. I think that's ridiculously pricey. that's why I went for the qshave clone and the differences are bearable. In the end it's totally up to you though.

you're being really silly. it's obvious you could only shave that with an electric trimmer but not with a safety razor or a cartridge razor. ballskin is really loose as it is so anything not electrical will draw blood immediately.

Can somebody explain the advantage to all of these soaps and creams? When I first started shaving I used a shaving cream, but at some point it got to be too much hassle. Now I use hot water and either a Harry's or Dorco cartridge. I never cut myself, and I've never had problems with my skin. I've tried using various creams, gels, or foams, including some fancy ones, and they don't work for me. They take too long, make a bunch of mess, have always made me cut myself, and make my skin feel weird.

What am I missing out on?

Got a Baili razor recently with a butterfly twist opener and it's been a bit better than the WS Classic DE razor. It doesn't cut or irritate me as much. I think it's the different bladeguard that helps.
