Real Men Real Style could you make video how to NOT match your ties to your suits.
Real Men Real Style Yes! This is what I was talking about! Thank you soo much! I personally use a straight blade
Does dollar shave club also ship internationally?
I use a combine harvester. I lie down the field and let it pass over me.
Alan Heath damn.... Must have a lot of hair.
Just use a axe.
I prefer the helicopter saw.
LOL
Ha 🥔🏙🌏🏙🌏🏜🐙
I just stand in the wind and wait for the wind to erode away my beard
Hahaha wow gotta try that
I sink my whole head underwater. River, sea - doesn't matter. The kinetic power of water (or the salt in it) works miracles when it comes to solid rock, let alone hair.
@@ekuzo4 that's quite clever, I wouldn't even have to use aftershave the water would act as a moisturiser.

Damn that was spiritual 😂
I shave with a broken beer bottle that's been recently smashed on an unsuspecting head
That's an advanced technique, not everyone could do that.
That one made me laugh the most

Omg really that's very advanced and skill technique!!!!!
🤣🤣😂
I put aluminium foil over my hair and eyes use an aerosol can and a lighter to burn the hair off.
Bathroom needs febreeze after though
I love this guy 😂 and the comments are priceless
I use a lawn mower blade like a real man.
I like to use the longsword.
Is that better?
Michael Shipma i use a chainsaw
A real man doesn't shave
Jason Voorhes is my barber with his machete
so you're telling me that the dollar shave club isn't one dollar?
Yes
They have a dollar option lol
Hockeyisawesome not anymore
Haven't been this disappointed since 5 dollar foot longs were like 8 bucks and 10 inches.
My experience was not so good with the Dollar Shave Club. The price is NOT one dollar ! A pack of 4 blades with 4 blades in each cartridge ran me $6.00 which is $ 1.50 per cartridge. So that is an outright lie. Secondly, the Shave Butter is rather greasy and makes it hard to pick up the razor after using the Shave Butter and use the razor. Lastly, the cartridge does not allow you to get up close and underneath the nose since it is not as small as cartridge razors that I have used in the past. It got to the point that after several months of using what I had bought and even reordering one time, I decided to go back to using up the stock of cartridge razors that I had on hand. I can go to Sams Club and buy a years worth of cartridge razors for under $30.00 , go to Wal Mart and buy 10 cans of Barbasol shave cream for about $11.00 and I am set. I have several straight razors , a strop and a hone but using that takes a lot of prep time to sharpen the razor to a keen edge and if its not sharp you end up dragging the razor across your face and it turns into an unpleasant experience.
The trouble with straight razors is every woman on the planet wants to do that thing they do in the movies. Straddle you in a lap dance position and shave you. Say no and then they ask "don't you trust me?".....not with a razor blade to my throat grandma.
The abominable Dr Jones, Strattle me lady...razor, or not!
You can thank James Bond for that 😂
That was a cutthroat, not a straight razor :)
Very correct, especially the way they act today, these days. Never trust a woman. They ALL turned into jerkettes, thanks to that stupid gloria steninum and that gloria alread, both worthless pieces of crap.
I take it you’re having one heck of a dry spell my friend.
I sometimes just put my face under a helicopter blade
I cauterized my face. I'll never have to shave again.
Idiotic Tirades, I plan to get electrolysis in a few years.
I just use a broad sword
Idk there is too much blood to tell
sledgehammers or caterpillars are way more precise
Use napalm like a real man.
I bathe with sandpaper and my underwear is denim
I shave with a box cutter, blindfolded as well

Then I trim my nose hairs with a razor-sharp machete
I also modified my garden hose to dispense nacho cheese my right incisor's a Phillips head screwdriver

I can drive ten hours without stopping to take a leak and when my car breaks down I don't call a mechanic

Went safety razor. Never going back to cartridges.
Me too
Yeap, use that, double edge butterfly razor and also Schick injector razor and blades, the very finest, only one blade is all ya need.
Also
Same here!No back to cartridges again!
just picked up a safety razor kit, hopefully, I will feel the same in a few weeks!
I use a belt sander. If I'm out in the woods without electricity, I use a lighter to burn it off.
I'm a progressive person, so I believe in recycling. I choose to shave with the used disposable razors I find in the gas station restrooms. Just doing my part to prevent global warming.
go for an straight razor.

Kasper Paasch nah mate he just move the 1 molecule of dirt under it so he technically didn't move the hammer and vigouisly shake the hammer breaking the sound barrier reaching Mach 10 and make the beard tear off.
Least favorite: Disposable blades
Favorite: Straight Razor
I spent a good couple of years using the cartridge razor when I was starting and a bit of the disposable razor but decided to switch over to straight razor. As you put it, it requires time, patience and skill but you acutally reap the benefits. That and your razor never clogs up or have to buy new ones ever couple of months. It's with you for life, and if you take care of it even your grandson can use it. It's funny, sometimes the old ways are the best.
Does it give a more closer and clean shaver than a cartridge ?
@@harmonjp2714 Depends on the user. With both Experience and a skilled stropping, yes, but only VERY slightly better. Almost imperceptibly so. IMHO.
sometimes? they're always the best.
@@yazdan7774 it's all about proper technique, if you know the map of your beard's grain, you can get baby bottom smooth. I prefer a safety razor when I'm in a hurry, and a shavette (straight razor handle that uses half of a double edge blade) when I have time.
@@juancastellon7183 I use the safety razor too and am going to try the shavette how does it shave
Straight razors make clean lines easier than the rest, you can see exactly where you stop instead of doing guess work.
True, I have been using one for the last year and is really amazing!
What's the learning curve on using a straight razor? I've been using a safety razor for 3 years now but I'm looking to up my level
The real answer it depends. It depends on how often you shave, what type of beard you have and how it grows and so forth. Of course you are going to make many mistakes in the beginning and probably some cuts here and there, but if you shave 1 a week during 4-6 months, you should feel comfortable. To make it more comfortable on the skin I would advise to buy a pre-shave oil and apply on skin after a hot bath/shower.
And take note that when you shave with a straight razor blade, make it as a ritual and take you time, since rushing up the process might lead into nasty cuts...and this is from experience.

alexisaddicted I’m 15 and shave everyday would a straight razor be good
I recently switched from using cartridge razors to a safety razor. It was a great decision. Shaving with a cartridge razor, I would always end up with irritated skin. After switching to the safety razor, I get a much closer shave with no irritation. I'd definitely recommend this option for any guys with easily irritated skin. Tradition is best in my opinion
it was a great decision for me too. My face gets hurt any time I do shave.
💯
I'll second everything you said there.
I use sharpened stones for shaving my beard.

Confused civilized noise
Traditional wet shaving is amazing. Straight razor shaving is super easy not nearly as difficult as he makes it seem. Also Double Edge safety razors are an exceptional option.
I've been using straight razors for close to ten years now. A straight razor along with a good lather is as good as it gets.
I wouldn't say it's super easy. There's a learning curve.. but it's my preferred method. Safety razors are nice too
He is paid to say that cartridge razors are for you because of the Dollar shave club sponsor in this video. The straight razor is miles ahead of the cartridge razor but yet he doesn't emphasis on it in this video.
Its cool how you can take it on the go and even use it as a knife
I'm getting into straights for shaving. I've finally gotten to the point that I'd consider myself proficient with the safety I've been using and wanted to try the next step up.
I'm going it's as good as I hear, because the learning curve is painful. It isn't dangerous, and the pain is only the for a second, but it still sucks.
I own a safety razor and a straight cut throat (with replaceable blades). I prefer the straight, but both are fantastic. Using only one blade is far superior to the multi-blade cartridges, you get a closer shave, and it's WAY more affordable (after the initial investment).
i bought a straight razor kit for £20, works amazingly once i brought good quality blades
@@calebvincent4893 what blades and handle do you use ??
What you're referring to is a shavette. I love using mine when I have time.
I shave with the safety razor and am going to start with my straight razor (shavette) when the blade blunt's in that.
The safety razor gives an excellent shave much better than the catrage which is much better than the electric if I get on well with the bladed straight razor I'm going to try the old fashioned straight razor
Anything but Gillette is alright

Gone with the dynosaurs
I’m a hydro guy myself
Couldn’t agree more!

I've taken a liking to the Scottish claymore
Well i shave with a safety razor for almost two years now and it's absolutely amazing!i wouldn't change razor again
Still? Tell me something about it😃
I like your style of speaking...............
Small Big Things He reminds me of Russ Cargill from the Simpsons movie
Yea, I'm trying so hard staring at something else, but his mouth.
I have a very sensitive beard and I've struggled with razor burn etc. my whole life.
A few months ago I bought a safety razor out of frustration and curiosity. I gave up after 3 days of getting my face eaten.
Then I watched some of your videos on shaving tips. Only then did I realize: I had been shaving for 30 years and nobody had ever really shown me HOW to shave! I don't remember my dad ever giving me much of a tutorial. He never had problems with his beard...and I probably wouldn't have listened to him anyway. You know how 13yo's are.
I've implemented a lot of techniques and strategies that you talked about and it has changed my world!
I now prefer a safety razor. I shave in the evening just before bed. That way I'm not rushed for time. Many times I'll use a cartridge for my second pass because I'm still training myself on the safety razor.
Jason Keith Austin when I was in college, I looked up for myself how to shave and was surprised to see how simply dialing down the pressure I put on the razor while shaving made. First few years I made all the mistakes in the book and spent so many days with a face full of irritation and ingrown hair.
Use electric trimmer it won't touch your skin.
1. Safety
2. Straight if only you perfect the technique
3. Cartridge
4. Disposable
5. Electric - never use electric. Waste of money and time
Nice ranking
I say don’t even waste your time with a safety, and instead just get comfortable with a straight. Best decision I ever made in my life, and didn’t take long to get good at it
Double on electric. Really crappy, even the more expensive ones.
@@liammcintyre8970 i tried to learn a straight but i feel much more comfortable using a safety as ive been doing in for 8 years
Electric only for grooming
I've been using a Philips electric shaver I bought for $40 for the last 2 years, and I haven't had any issues. It doesn't pull any skin and the shave is pretty good if you go over a few times (very quick ordeal). I will try safety razors in the future to see the alternative, but for now, I haven't had any issues with my electric shaver.
What model Phillips ?
@@ajdoyle9559 I think a Norelco 1100. It's the corded model.
I have the Philip series 5000 however it barely cuts my hair
Got a straight razor on my 18th birthday. Can’t go without it honestly. I like the feel and the ‘effort’ you have to put into it.
Safety razor. After some weeks of practice you get a perfect close shave with no cuts and no ingrown hairs. The blades are dirt cheap compared to cartridges and the environmental impact is minimal.
Now your talkin! Agree with every word you wrote. It's what I use, along with injector razors and injector razor blades.
Is there any injury when you use savety razor ?
My brother is looking for something that doesn't irritate his skin but gets a really close shave, do you think this the best option? The disposable blades do worry me from an environmental perspective.
@@JasminMiettunen disposable blades have the least enviromental impact out of all shaving options (besides an straight razor but they're not worth the risk) and it solved my irritation problems i had when using multiblades
@@ramlidjali1184 You can cut yourself if you are sloppy, but those cuts are very minor. Similar to paper cuts. But they don't hurt, it feels very itchy though...
I've always used electric shaver. If i'm in a rush in the morning and I need to shave, it's the best option, I haven't got time to put cream on and wash the razor repetitively. Worth the extra money, low maintenance, easy to use, easy to clean.
Jimmy Vitali Agree... I dont like facial hair so i shave fairly often , razors would take way to long.
I'm quite busy in the morning and I feel much safer using an electric shaver
Max Pike I always use electric since its quick
I use Braun electric shaver for a year and have had constant problems that it doesn`t cut 4 days and older hair, doesn`t cut neck hair, always need to fix it with cartridge shaver, and even if I shave everyday, it needs many passes for every zone. What models do you guys use?
Phillips
I love a good cut-throat razor! I learned my technique when I was younger and have gotten better as I age.
How did I know that this would just be a Dollar Shave Club ad??? 😒
I use disposable razors. I started my journey in shaving on safety razor, but the nicks and cuts started to put me off. Moved to cartridge razors once I was able to afford them and stayed with them for a few years. Then once on a holiday I ended up buying a good quality disposable razor and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the shave for a fraction of the cost. I'vnt looked back since and have been using a disposable razor for last 7years and have enjoyed it. The cartridges used to last about 2months, while disposable razor pack last me 3months easily for 1/4th the cost and similar shaving experience. Yes I agree on the wastage part and wish big brands start making them with recycled materials soon.
I liked the butter knife next to the shave butter. :)
I personally grow out and sharpen my nails to the point that they resemble the claws of a wild animal and then start scratching my face violently to get that perfect clean shave. Works wonders.
😂
Honestly, saftey razors aren't for everyone but they sure worked for me. I used cartirdge razors for years and always had horrible acne, ingrown hairs and razor bumps/burn. Switching to traditional wet shaving seems to have reduced my skin issues by 90%. Our grandpas had it right.
I am 16 years old i shave daily with a throat razor, never cut myself and it feel amazing for the skin my dad is a barber so it help 😂 but it give a good shave and if you know what you’re doing never cut.
What kind(brand) do you use?
My skin always felt irritated after I used a disposable razor, so I'll be getting a straight razor first chance I get. Plus, I like the idea of never having to buy a razor again.
Horrible grammar and Punctuation, dude.
It is definitely a myth that you need years of practice with a straight razor. As long as you've been properly taught how to use it, it will take you only about 10 shaves, if you count those that you finish with your old razor. Many people do that during their first shaves.
@@crimsondust3665 Did you get one? I love shaving with a straight. I cannot use it everywhere on my body, but it's a great grooming tool. Indeed, as long as you strop it before each use and have it honed when necessary, your straight will last you forever or until you lose it. But you might get hooked, buy another straight razor, then another, then a second strop, then maybe a kamisori (Japanese handle-less straight razor)...you might even end up with a collection of your own hones and hone razors for other people.
Five years ago I made the switch to traditional wetshaving with a safety razor and brush and never looked back! No more ripping or tugging or pulling. I've been meaning to upgrade to a straight.
Personally use a straight razor because it's great for shaping my beard. Was hard to learn to use it but it is so close now I can't even feel the hair for around 2 days, wakes me up in the morning whenever I use it.
It'll take time to get used to it but it's worth it.
antenio i hav nver uzed strate razur plz teech how 2 shav sooone plz mi moosestache is 2 lung
Nothing wakes you up in the morning like a knife on your throat am I right.
@@karstenroelofs9216 Especally when it's a crazy nutt broad who's holding it close to you. Can't trust broads out there these days. True fact. Look at this me to garbage and this marching stuff in DC.
I recently switched to a safety razor, and my face thanks me. I was really nervous about it, but am glad I made the switch. It feels nearly as good as a real straight razor shave at the barber. Make the switch!
What's your razor?
The credibility of a comparison video is really destroyed by making it into an add for one of the compared products
According to my shaving experience and with sensitive skins, the advisable is the electric razor, but duofoil with central trimmer bar to long hairs.
I switched to electric razors almost a decade ago after cartridge and disposable razors kept giving me fits.
My favorite: the Philips Norelco series 4100 Aquatecs. I now have two of them and they've never let me down. I'm also currently giving the Braun series 3 and the Barbasol foil shavers a try.
Phillips or Braun ?
Which ones the best ?
@@harshivpatel6238 I definitely like the Braun better, but which shaver you choose is definitely a very personal preference. Try a few different models to see which one suits you best.
I was 15 when I bought a vintage adjustable saftey razor at a flea market just as a conversation piece, but when I used it I loved it and used it for years. A couple of months back I bought an electric razor which disappointed me and in one month I went back to my safety. I've found 10pc blade packs for 1 dollar in some stores. in my opinion its the best shave and value.
true
Just tried the safetyrazor today for the first time, and I've never had such a close smooth shave. Usually my skin is completely sore from cartridge razors just tearing it up, now it just feels better.
I roll with a DE safety razor. $16 for 100 blades, it's a no brainer.
GuitarGodgt yeah, disposable straight razor here. It's like a $55 start up, but enough blades to last a year
Justin James disposable STRAIGHT razors??? Is that really a thing?
discodubber85 Yes. The same company that makes DE safety razors will usually also make single edged razors meant to go into a straight razor handle.
My barber does the back of my neck with one. I'm not ballsy enough to go with any kind of straight razor.
They are great...especially using Feather blades
$55 start up?? I got my straight for $5 from the local beauty supply store and a 100 pack Astra blades from Amazon for $10.
My shaver... Merkur 34c Heavy Duty. Amazing shave. Amazing experience.
i did that calculation, and it works! i just found out why there's life on Earth...
I use the Katana for shaving, that's my favorite & Dollar shave club is my least favorite bcoz that cost more than a dollar & u wouldn't send them to me for free.
I shave with cartridge, safety, and electric, and all I can say is that by far the best shave I had was with the electric, flat skin hairless with the Braun Shaver.
Cool, ive been using a Shick injector for 40 years but blades are getting hard to find
Wow -- 40 years? Have you tried another brand?
I just googled it. Looks like a single-sided safety razor? Should be an easy transition when you can no longer find blades.
No because this worked all these years, but in the last couple months ive tried a unknown brand that has 3 blades and is flexible and what a difference especially in the curved areas of the beard
Wide World of Trains Haven't used an injector razor for decades. I remember them as being close shaving and very convenient. I now have gone back to DE safety razor.
Thats when they made things to last, the stainless head still looks new
I've been using cartridge and disposable my whole life. My gf bought me a straight razor kit for Christmas. I really like how close the shave and how tight the beard line turned out.
Today was my second attempt at shaving my head with a straight razor. Cuts were less than the first time. I am getting there.
I'm proud of you, brother. I started doing that less than 2 months ago and it's great.
I just got into the straight razor game myself... bought a cheap one to see if I liked it... ill be spending a little more on a higher quality blade in the very near future
On the note of safety razors - a friend of mine suggested getting an older one from the 50s-70s so I purchased a Gillette one from the early 1960s and it works amazing, and it seems thats where the money is (for the new ones) the angle of the blade when the cap is screwed down onto it. The best part, it was under $20.
The real money was supposedly in the blades ( because they needed to be replaced after a few shaves, so customers would buy more of them).
Love the video, and great timing! I'm thinking of shaving again after about 5 years. I used to have a real problem with razor rash using cartridge razors. Maybe it was the number of blades. I probably thought more was better, now I know! Thanks for the vid!
I've used a Merkur safety razor with feather razor blades for maybe 10 years now. I get a much closer shave with less irritation and it really doesn't take a lot of technique. I highly recommend a safety razor, much cheaper in the long run than the cartridge style plus you feel cool as hell using it.
Been using a old school safety razor with merkur blades for three years. Happy as can be. Pockets full of money since its way cheaper than bs cartridges.
I have and use a Dovo Straight razor that I love. I also love my Karve brass DE safety razor. I also use the Supply 2.0 SE Injection Razor. I do use cartridge when I travel. Great video for a simple breakdown.
Safety is best, disposable is worst
If you can master the straight razer then it is the best, but ultimately it is also the most difficult, so it isn't the best.
Wolf's Den it is the best because it’s easy to learn and will ultimately get you the best shave and you save a lot of money. Yea you need to invest more time but it only takes like a month to learn it well. Trust me it’s worth it
Spaceman took me about 2 mouths but yea, 100 % worth it.
but Straight is Original you can't beat Original
What’s wrong with disposable ? Always used them. Cheap ten pack from dollar tree. Pack lasts me over a month
I’m 18 and have been using a cut throat razor for over a year now. For me personally it causes the least amount of irritation with having sensitive skin. It also works out to cost about £0.06 per shave not including the shaver itself so it’s very cheap. I would recommend it
My least favourite is an electric shaver because it just irritates my skin too much
I use a tri-head electric Philips Norelco for shaving above the lips, checks, and as a final pass. And I use cartridge razors for sideburns and neck. This strategy has really helped me cut down on razor burn and irritation. The Norelco I have is Aquatec, so I always use shaving cream or lotion. Post-shave product from brands like Neutrogena and Nivea have also found a way into my routine.
Nice!
I use Norelco electric rotary shavers, and for these reasons:
1. Convenience -- I can shave pretty much anywhere, multitask if I need to. Maintenance is pretty easy and quick, as well (blow it out daily, brush it out monthly, disassemble and clean yearly).
2. Inexpensive to maintain -- I generally pay around $50-60 for a shaver, do not purchase shaving toiletries, and generally do not replace the heads (they tend to outlast the battery), electricity is minimal. The shaver can last anywhere from 6-10 years, typically in the 7 year range.
3. It's quick and relatively safe. Shaving takes 5 minutes. I am also very unlikely to cut myself shaving.
As an aside, two of my electric shavers were gifts, so they were the first shavers I ever tried. They worked for me, so I stuck with them.
I generally use a safety razor to wet shave when I’m home. If I’m away for work however, depending on wether or not I’m in the field at that moment, I will either use a disposable or electric. I just ordered a shavette though for my own experimentation
You've great personality ! my man
i see all around ladies beautician and you and alpha m are doing great work for men.
Thank you Sfa!
As a barber my recommendation has always been a single blade razor. I have only used a straight edge since i have been shaving. Not anybody can use them. So i advise a safety razor or cartridge razor. I tell clients that its not worth the money for a electric shaver. Disposable razors are no good either.
Which one is the single blade Razor in the video ??
@@wexswexs5996 the knife.
I used cartridge razors in the past from big brands like Gillette, but i got a lot of irritation and ingrown hair. Also caused me a granuloma in the neck, now I have an ugly scar from surgery.
Now i use safety razors, in my humble opinion are the best. Unfortunately is hard to buy safety razors and the blades here in Chile (South America), i have to search in really old stores and antique shop.
As always, great video.
Regards
PS: Sorry for the mistakes, i do not speak english.
Your doing fine. My sister use to live in Chile, South America. Here in the US, dollar stores always carry safty razor blades for only a dollar, you get five blades for your butterfly razor, yet, they last you through many shaves and never seem to get dull.
Wena ctm
Just go on amazon, you can get a 100 pack of blades by Astra for $9
Hey Supra-Einstien, You deserve a Nobel prize for inventing that initial formal.
I use a safety razor and have not had any major issues for years. Every now and then I may knick myself. I used the cartridge razors when I first started to shave. They became expensive and irritated my skin sometimes (razor bumps). I investigated the safety razor and it has been smooth sailing. I am currently looking into an electric shaver, but after this video, I think I'll stick to safety.
I use 3 razors. I shave my head in the shower and for that I use a cartridge razor. For shaving my face I use a straight razor. Important tip here is to learn to sharpen it yourself -- I took mine to a respected knife shop and it came back worse than when I dropped it off. For quick "touch up" work I use a safety razor.
Knife sharpening and razor sharpening are very different. Like you said I would either learn to sharpen it yourself or take it to a place that specializes in sharpening and honing straight razors.
Shavette is another option he didn't mention. No need to sharpen and the myth that it's harder to do or a rougher shave isn't true (use it for 3 years now).
yes shavette is useful also not expensive
i do shavette first then electric for touch up. it saves money on the rotary one and less irritation. but i also own 2 vintage straight razors all i need is a strop, and some sharpening stones to learn how to hone. I've been practicing stropping with a belt and a dull blade.
Safety razor all the way. Blades are cheap, such a wide variety of blades to tailor a shave to my needs and while slower than cartage style shaves it's still fast enough to do it every morning before work. I have zero irritation and shave daily. Cartage style works okay but it's rough on my skin and they are expensive. Cut throat razors are overrated. I use electric foil razors for training around my goatee. Works great for that. My .2
Safety razors are overrated
@@reasonablerage4370 overrated razors are definitely overrated
Safety razor all day! It’s the best shave I’ve ever had. I use an Edwin Jager Chatsworth and it’s heaven. I use shark blades or derby blades seem to work well for me
I tried an expensive electric razor but it never gave a smooth shave & I always felt lazy using it.
I use a strait razor but only on Sunday morning is when I’ll shave so I’ll be read for the rest of the week. It takes a good 15 to 20 min for a good shave with a straight razor.
If you truly care about good shaving, the only option is a wet shave with a safety razor. It's objectively best in terms of smooth shaving, affordability, and results. It's environmentally friendlier too.
I've always been attracted to straight razors
Asgard Ninja do you nut to them?
For me, I've been using electric razors most of the time. I usually buy Phillips Norelco. I have tried a Gillette Fusion razor but it made my skin bumpier.
TV Blue same with me bro
TV Blu exact opposite for me man.
You should try a DE safety razor, it shouldn't cause bumps like the cartridge razor does.
I started on a Electric when I was 16 then I just gave up because my facial hair grows too slowly the Gillette Mach three is what I’m using now but a saftey Razor just arrived for me. Advice??
Bruh man Bruh man 👍🏻
I started shaving at 10 and from my first shave my grandpa (who was a barber) taught me to shave with straight razor. I still use the same one to this day
I’m 16 I used cartridge razors for about a year but I just switched over to the safety razor, wow it’s amazing
I use dollar shave club. Been using the blades from them for years. But in all honesty. Any razor. I.e Gillette razors which would be the competitive brand would work just as good. Just not as cheap as dollar shave clubs razors. I believe the key ingredient to a good shave is what shaving cream or gel you use. For me. The shave butter is the best in the market. I’ve used many other brands and all types. Even tried sensitive skin ones even though I don’t have sensitive skin. And the shave butter was the best. No matter what razor or electric razor your using. The shave butter is smooth and leaves your skin smooth as butter. As the name suggests. I continue to buy the shave butter. It’s inexpensive and lasts a good while. Depending on how often you shave. When I use the shave butter, I shave down. Up. And sideways for a close as possible shave. My hair grows quick. But the shave butter gives me smoothness for at least a half a day extra.
I just close my eyes and believe my hair are gone every morning. It works
Enjoying using my double edged safety razor. You’re right it was a learning curve coming from using a cartridge style razor before. I find though it gives a much better shave and the cost per use is significantly lower. I’d like to dabble in learning to use a straight razor but the cost from what I’ve researched seams very high for a quality straight blade. In the flip side if the spectrum I’ve also been using shaving soap and a badger hair brush which is lovely.
I've had many years of success with rotary-head Norelco electric razors with trimmer. In more than 20 years, I've gone through two. I have skin that is sensitive to chemicals, so I can dry-shave with these with no issue.
I've been using the Dollar Shave Club. Their products are great and I get a very close shave. I used to use an electric razor but never seemed to be able to get real close with it.
I heated my blade up on the stove and shaved my hair. The end result was a manly scar.
Nice review, however I think you're unfair with electric razors. Clearly you have a very modest experience with them, you barely talk about it and you point out that they cost more than wet shaving. I used both systems for years, and I can tell spending 100 bucks at the beginning for something lasting a minimum of 2 years, is less expensive than buying razors every week. You can like it or not, but it is usually cheaper.
Also, but this is personal, I had Braun, Philips, and no electric razor ever broke on me, only changed as I wanted to try something new: they're pretty solid things, not as bad as you say.
But again, nice review overall.
Im 15 and i shave with a straight razor because its exciting for me
I use a combination of razors. I use a foil electric shaver for day-to-day use. Just a quick wake up, shave, and go to work. When I want to really clean up, I use a safety razor for my cheeks and under my neck, then I use a straight razor for detailing on the sideburns and goatee.
I’ve been using a safety razor for about 10 years starting with a low quality one working up a Mekur adjustable. I’m also a die hard mug soap and brush guy. I also a Norelco architect model that I’ll use if I’m in a bit of a hurry.
so I tried the single blade and spend almost 3 hours trying to shave property. I ended up cutting myself :(
but I won't be quiting anytime soon °^°
I got 48.480705 after doing the formula you gave in the beginning Antonio nonsense I don't think so 🤣 great vid as always I been using a mix of electric and cut throat nothing gets closer or leaves the skin as smooth as a straight razor but be aware u will cut ur self the first 10 times first 5 very badly a brand I love is Dovo and I usually buy a 10 pack of platinum coated Merkur blades those last me a good 3 months but I shave like 3 times a week
I have my doubt about you getting that number. I got 1670,51.
If you were born in 1950, only 150 cm tall and your phone number ended in 9999, you'd still get a number of 855,73.
So I'm officially calling bullshit on you calculating it! :D
By the way, what do you mean about buying blades? Merkur blades is safety razor blades, but you say you use electric and cut throat, neither of which use those?

Born 1985
Height 6ft or 182
Last 4 of my phone number 7489
As far as razors go I use a combo of both electric to get my neck and side burns and a straight razor with replaceable blades kinda like the one after the cut throats one same blades cut in half look up Dovo straight razors they are great and not that expensive
Mark The Gr8 I just looked it up 4u I guess it's called a Dovo shavette idk what the difference is but it's basically a straight razor with a removable blade
Thank you. I haven't seen straight razors with removable blades before. Straight razors aren't really a thing in my country.
With your info, your number seems to be 2327,11.
Year of birth multiplied with height in cm, divided by last four numbers in phone number and squaring that result.
(1985*182/7489)^2 = 2327,11
Mark The Gr8 no problem man that's why we can comment to give each other feed back and recommendations and I guess I didn't here the squared part at the end their thanks for working out the math for me and definitely check online we live in a world now where if u have internet you can just order anything from anywhere with the right amount of $
I think the best option is just trying some of them out (without spending a lot) and see what works best for your skin and morning routines :) Personally i've tried all but the straight/safety razors but I've found that any form of wet shaving just makes my skin irritated and causes ingrown hairs. Electric however, works fine for me and is rather convenient.
Exactly!
EXACTLY ANTUNIO
Wet shaving with a cartridge/disposable today is worlds apart from traditional wet shaving. The upfront cost isn't that horrible. There is a traditional wet shaving renaissance going on right now in the USA and other countries. There are passionate guys making affordable razors, shaving brushes, and awesome shaving soaps. Shaving with a safety razor isn't just for old men. There are tons of new products on the market that are game changing. cartridges and disposable are expensive, wasteful garbage.
I am 77 and I have used all that you have mentioned, Straight razor was my first one, now a alternate depending on my mood or if I am in a hurry or not,
Been using a straight razor for damn near 10 years now. I started with a cheap double-edged safety, and that lasted about 9 months or thereabouts, but I just hated having to clean it all the time and change blades and buy blades and...whereas a straight razor, properly sharpened, stropped and cleaned, will last forever. It was just cheaper. And a good antique or vintage straight-razor, strop, brush and scuttle/bowl doesn't cost much.
Cartridge Razor. It just beats everything else. The important things to remember are: 1: *DON'T* use shaving foam, shaving gel or shaving butter! Use hard shaving soap and a shaving brush instead. I also strongly recommend using *ANY* shaving soap as a "stick", even bowl soaps. Wrap them up in some foil, leaving one side free, and use them as a stick, on a wet face, then take the brush to your face and work up a lather. Using genuine shaving soap has three big advantages: First, it dramatically reduces shaving costs, because your blade cartridge will last for months before needing to be replaced. Secondly, it's easy to keep your razor clean. Rinsing it under the faucet will rinse it, unlike foam, gel, butter or not using anything at all, which all will cause your razor to clog up with gunk. Thirdly, it will keep your skin fresh and healthy, no rash, no pimples, nothing. The soft variety of shaving soap, "shaving cream" in tubes, which is used in the same way with water and brush, is actually almost just as good.
2: Don't use Gillette. Oh, their razors are top of the world, but it's a SJW-fascist company that stands firmly on the side of toxic third-wave feminists and those who want to curtail your freedoms and censor your speech, movies, literature, science and education. IMO, Edgewell/Schick/Wilkinson Sword are just as good as Gillette, and others are "good enough", including Dollar Shave Club, though I abhor subscription sales schemes. If you're using brush and shaving soap with a subscription "service", you're soon going to be knee deep in cartridges you have no use for.
Second choice would be Safety Razor. I'm old enough to have used one in my early life. I still remember the difficulty in stopping the blood flow, every time I cut myself. It always took some time, which could be awkward if you were in a hurry going somewhere. So they take developing some handling skills, but shave well.
Third choice would be Disposable. I think they're horrible though, They feel like they're damaging my skin and are almost as prone to cuts as safety razors. They're also expensive, since they only lasts a couple of shaves.
Fourth choice, for a daily shave, would be investing into learning to use a Straight Razor, because I would never submit myself to using an electric razor for daily use.
Fifth and last, desperate choice, would be electric razor. Unhygienic nuking of your face the dry and expensive way. Hate it.
I use straight razor with removable blade
mæstro mÜgre I just use it for a clean looking shape up lol
mxt mxt I have a classic straight razor but I feel like the the replaceable blades are sharper and easy to use
bro thats called a shavette its a type of straight razor that came after diseases used to transmit from a barber that shaves multiple people.
0:15 Thank God i didn’t pause it and start calculating. 😤
Phillips one blade is one of my favs the other is my Braun Shaver Series 7.. I do use a safety razer on occasion when I have go to a wedding or funeral or job interview or a hot date, other wise, the one blade is my go to.. no irritation, cuts close enough for me.
