Shaving

Just messing with you @Hatorade , she uses my safety razor. Otherwise it's the small electric that comes with our haircut set. The sideburn one if things go too long inbetween groomings.

Several years ago this thread convinced me to switch from overpriced Mach 3 style shit to a double edge safety razor and razor blades. I tried a bunch of different razor blades and eventually settled on Astra, as those tended to give me the fewest cuts and the closest shave for my skin type. Even still, I often found myself with nicks at the most inopportune times. A few months ago I got fed up and decided to stop fully shaving completely, although I also didn't want to grow a beard. I wanted to keep a nice, low amount of stubble. I've tried the stubble look in the past, and the electric razors I used either ended up pulling the hairs and hurting, giving really patchy and uneven results, or leaving too much stubble so it looked unprofessional. I bought one of these:

This thing is absolutely perfect. I use it about every 2 - 3 days (my hair grows super fast and is very dark) without any of the guards, and it leaves the perfect amount of stubble without any scratching, pulling, or nicks. It only takes about 2 minutes to do my whole face, and I've got really thick and course facial hair. A++ would recommend for anyone sick of shaving.

I grew a beard but the microtouch solo is pretty good too.

I recently got this. It is pretty good for everyone's everything.

Giant necro. I just started shaving my head and beard with a safety razor. My current girlfriend does not mind a touch of stubble on the head, not a fan of it on my beard. I shave once a day. The hair on my beard is ultra coarse. Head is 100x easier to get a smooth shave than my face, and quicker. Prior to the safety razor I used a mach 3 or my electric braun.

Any suggestions on shaving soap for the safety razor? I prefer unscented but a mild scent would work. I've smelled a few that seemed more in the perfume category.

I liked the colonal konk almond I had. Been ages, I'm also a savage and most of the time I can safety razor shave with just water or a tiny fan of shaving cream depending on age of blade and hair length.

My new shaving cream. It "kinda" smells like Dr. Pepper. It's a Texas thing. Good chance even at a fast food place you ask for coke you get a Dr. Pepper lol. It's not bad. Like a lot of other botique shaving creams, just smells close to Dr. Pepper.

I've been using bar soap lather for the last few years, no complaints.
