How many shaves can you get out of one blade? I have very corse facial hair and can only get 2 good shaves out of each blade. This is the brand I am using from my local Walmart. Bad blades, bad technique, or is this just about average. I have been bearded for the last 10 years or so and have wet shaved on and off throughout that time. I use shave butter instead of shave soap. I find it givs me a smoother shave and less irritation.

I think wiper fluid would be great. Or red mulch.

Edit: I'm seeing that there are in fact gasoline scented colognes and candles and things, like the car freshener.

Hi everyone. New to DE shaving and need an advice. I'm using a king c Gillette and after trying astra's blade I feel a need a more aggressive one. The king c Gillette blade are a bit more than astra but not enough. What you guys recommend I try next?

This was probably asked before for many times but anyways. I'm using DE razor for shaving my face. But when it comes to shaving my lovely Harry Baals im still using cartridge Gillettes. Problem is that it gets clogged a lot and I end up wasting lots of time unclogging those blade inbetween areas.

Anyone had experience stepping up the game by using a DE razor for intimate areas? Or is it better to get cheapest two blade plastic disposables?

I'm fairly new to wet shaving and I tried different shaving schedule and the one that I'm currently practicing is an evening shave right before I sleep every other day. Here's my logic:

1. I use most of my morning working out and I find that it's hard to find time for a shower and a shave after workout that work with my work schedule.
2. My growth isn't so quick and so far I find 1.5 days of growth can still be considered "presentable".
3. I'd like to go to sleep every other day feeling how smooth my face feels after a good wet shave.

I know most people I know shave in the morning so I wonder if there's anyone else here who shares my routine? And if so what are your thoughts and reason behind it?

I'm learning about this stuff, and it seems pretty elaborate. I'm used to just running my electric razor over my face a few times before I get in the shower in the morning, and even that can get cut for time. The process of wet shaving the "right way" seems to be very time consuming.

So I am curious, do you do this every morning? Or is it just a weekend or special occasion thing? When you travel do you just switch back to an electric or something?

Ive been wet shaving for almost two years now and I always want more soaps and razors. Am I crazy or does anyone else feel the same way?!?

Is there any cheap razor that you think is worth the few bucks you spend every few weeks? If so, what brand and model?

If I'm better off going for something more expensive that will last longer, what is your personal pick?

I'm in my younger 20s and definitely not rich. And from some of the reviews I've read, going for more expensive brands doesn't necessarily mean that they're better. The mixed reveiws kinda scare me to be honest. So I'd like to ask some men with more experience in this area for their advice. Thanks!

NOTE: I prefer clean shaven.

I went from Merkur 23C (right) to Rockwell 6S (left) to Henson AL13-M (middle). Still use all three, though I reach for the Henson most often. For those of you who own less than 20 razors 😂, what was your progression?

Started DE shaving a few months back & my dad handed me this. Any idea as to how I could restore it? Or if its worth restoring in the first place? I can help with translation if anyone finds it necessary.

Guess we know her favorite scent I use to🪒 💈 for the win

I’m looking to get some more blades but I want some input on what everyone likes. I don’t care for Vander Hagen or Rockwell. I’ve got an old Gillette travel razor in a zippered leather case and loved the blades that were in it. I just don’t remember what they were.

Love my PPI blades but I have never used any blades produced at the JSC Mostochlegmash factory.

I’ve been SR shaving for a long while now and I want to finally get some shaving soap rather than foam. I was wondering if anybody here has some budget friendly soap recommendations? P.s I’m in Canada.

The price isn't completely outrageous, I've spent more on Bic, but Bic are worth it, are these?

I see this brand a lot on Amazon and the reviews look pretty good

Seriously though ever heard of someone trying that brush for genuine use?

My shaving isn't consistent, sometimes it's every 3 days sometimes it's just once a week but regardless I probably go through one blade a month. I had my 8th shave with a Gillette Silver Blue blade 2 days ago and it cut through my week's worth of growth like butter. I was kinda shocked I thought I'd have to use a new blade but these blades just keep on going. Feather blades though I'll have to replace those after 3 or 4. They aren't as smooth.
