Save When You Shave With Men's Razors

I have shaved in a unique way for years. In the shower with No mirror I use throw away single use razors. The best part is that I get 7-10 days out of each one, but yes I have been known to nick myself from time to time. I also have a new Post out on Foot Heath Tips & Looking Beautiful without sacrificing safety, Dr. Marc Blatstein

There are very few cheap razors I can use. I have super sensitive skin and hard whiskers. There are very few of the cheap ones I can use that don't leave me cut to pieces. You guys know, even cheap razors, you just can't pick up anything to use. Not all disposable are made alike, and I start bleeding just looking at the "bic" and "personna/wilkinson" products.

By Nadine Cheung ...really? nothing personal young lady, but really? I am sure I would not be the best one to write about women's shaving.

(But I am willing to learn! lol!)

Or you can shop at CVS and get razors for free with coupons.

This is ridiculous. Ms Cheung failed to do even a modicum of serious research. She did not poll men about face shaving nor did she explore the chronology of razors. It is tiring to find enthusiastic recommendations based on such shoddy methodology.

I have been shaving for 46 years, save about 14 months on two occasions when I grew a full beard. I'll risk appearing to perform the same flawed research by noting my own experiences.

My first shaving tool actually was the ubiquitous safety razor. I found out long ago, it was named thus because it was an improvement of sorts over the straight edge razor--it had less exposed blade area.

Then came the injector blade razors of various makes. Made inserting a new blade easy. Still had to fumble with the discarded blade.

There was a Trac something that had a coil of shaving surfaces all wound up inside. After the sharpness of one exposed surface wore away, rotating the handle brought up the next. Tried something sometime from Wilkinson Sword with partial satisfaction.

Bic brought out those dubious disposable razors. Some people even claimed they used theirs for months instead of the anticipated weeks.

Went electric. Did three successive Norelcos for about 20 years. But the lack of closeness was causing my afternoon growth to fray my dress shirt collars quickly.

Discovered first two blade, then three blade, and now five blade cartridge razors. As most of us know, five blades may have brought ridicule years ago on SNL, but the fact is far fewer strokes are required to achieve a close shave. And I don't know where Ms Cheung obtained her statistics but my cartridges last between three and-a-half to five weeks before I discard them. Watch the color change stripe did you, Ms Cheung?? And I have a medium coarse to coarse beard.

Back to the Safety razor. That clever clamshell top device failed to hold the blade rigid enough. Changing angles meant various degrees of scraping off facial skin rather than gliding over the surface and lopping off just whiskers. It is well that so-called safety razors are largely forgotten and obsolete. Their use was most often torturous, more so on sensitive skin. Resurrecting them now might seem innovative and creative but perilous if you value intact skin. Messing about with alcohol and hair dryers? Does anyone want to get up that early for razor maintenance??

And history often comes full circle. A carefully, skillfully stropped straight razor in the hands of a practiced barber can yield a close shave devoid of burns.

Next time, do your research. Avoid novelty for its own sake and avoid appearing ridiculous.

single blade Shoprite disposable is 12 cents a razor.

sure and you will cut yourself a lot more.the choice isa better shave andclsoer withadouble edge safty razor and lots of nick esp on the jaw ira disposable razor dryit wife is ona pide of denim dose it in alcohol and you can get two weeks from it
in practice i use both

who the heck is going to wipe the blade down then blow dry it ??

Don't believe it!! There' s a good reason why the double edged safety razor went out of style 20 or more years ago - they left my face a bloody mess!! Nothing beats the Fusion for nick-free closeness.

I shave twice a day with a Dollar General disposable razor. I change razors every week, and purchase 5 packs at a dooar each $5.00 a year for razors does fine for me.
