Get a nice double edge handle, there are lots of nice ones on the web. It just takes a little different touch, you need to move it slower. The brush and real shave cream is nice too.
Last year I tried a bunch of different ones when Gillette got too pricey and started a war on straight men. I settled on Harry's from Walmart. A refill lasts me two weeks. Also got an old-school double edge razor and Astra blades on Amazon, you get 100 for about $8. I just use it on weekends when it doesn't matter if I cut myself. I get one shave out of a blade and that's when I flip it over for the third pass (one up, one down, one sideways). Tried the soap cake and brush for lather but it's not as slick as Edge and I cut the hell out of my face every time.Yeah, things that never happened!
When I looked at the price of modern multi-edge razors, I switched to an old-style double edge razor. Been using it for years. You can get packs of 100 blades for cheap
- they aren’t the best, but I keep some better quality ones around for when it matters.
It rarely matters.
Whoa. I only watched 27 seconds. Didn't want to give them the viewcount. Why would you do that to your clientel?
Man I get a week or two out of a blade. You gotta use ‘em differently than a modern razor.
Because they're idiots? I substitute the straight razor with dollar shave club.
If I use it again the next day I can feel how dull it is and I cut myself all over. Whiskers on my face aren't that heavy but they are on my neck.
I find you need to hold the razor more firmly, but don’t push into your skin as hard, and move it more slowly.
