What do you guys shave with?

[maflynn]

I have a subscription with Harry's, and I find the cost is so low and I get razor blades when I need them.

I've been happy with the arraignment

 

[TheDoubler55]

It's been a success. Next, I have to think about whether my blade habits are wasteful.

Thank you, to you and others, for the nudge.

No problem man, glad it worked out!

 

[Glideslope]

I dry shave in the back of the car every morning with Keith.

DE.

 

[Gutwrench]

It depends. Sometimes razor blades and sometimes with the Braun 900 series electric. The former is closer but the latter is quicker and more convenient...and I love it’s auto-cleaning.

DE.

What is that?

...I don't want to be arraigned again. Especially not by a guy named Harry.

What is that?

Double-edged safety razor. DE for short.

 

[0388631]

Yes. There's very few disposables or even cartridge systems worth buying. They're cheap in price and great in quality. But the DE does 90% of the work for me.

 

[Thomas Veil]

I shave daily. I just like the clean feel.

I use a Schick Xtreme 3 with Edge gel (or a store brand equivalent...same thing).

I tried one of those 5 blade razors once but found it too big and clumsy, particularly in the area between your nose and upper lip...like trying to eat dinner with one of these:

Does that come with the Trial Size?

Does that come with the Trial Size?

yup
Harry's

 

[0388631]

Harry's white-labels a few of their products to other brands and subscription services. If it's the one I've tried, it's rather nice.

A butter knife.

lol.. going back to the old days eh. Anything sharp will do.

I'm glad we can all have our own opinion of what's "good".

No doubt. I switched to DE’s several years ago and now I get the closest and most comfortable shaves I’ve ever had. I’ll never spend three bucks on a cartridge again.

FWIW, I spent under $9 on a box of 100 DE blades five years ago and I’m just over halfway through them.

I tried all sorts of razors and after shaves, had various soothing creams and whatnot up the wazoo, but everything just irritated my skin. In the military I made the dire mistake of fully shaving my head, and the top of it looked like a tomato for quite a while. An itchy, sun-dried tomato.

Nowadays I just use the same Philips electric hair clipper I use on my hair. Sure, it leaves a tiny stubble, but the ease of the whole operation is worth it. Once every two days seems to be the sweet spot for the beard-area, once a week for the head.

There is actually one part of my body that seems to respond quite favorably to a regular Gillette MACH3 razor, but elaborating on that might be veering into TMI-territory.

EDIT: Added a link clarifying the military part, since that may be misunderstood.

I use this beast for trimming down the facial hair to an intentional stubble, then I use a disposable razor for shaving below the Adam's apple and my cheeks. Great value -- many length settings, and I seldom have to recharge the battery.

I just beat the bristles in with a sledgehammer and chew 'em off inside.
