  • Is this good?

    Those who hasn't yet - switch to safety razors. So much cleaner and smoother shave, and for 28 bucks you would probably get a 2 year worth supply of blades (granted you re-use them 1-2 times, which I do).

    • Absolutely - have saved so much money by switching to a safety razor!

    • Which one would you recommend?

      • This safety razor one from CaliWoods isn't an international known brand or anything but was pretty good.

        Blades likes of Astra Superior Platinum is around $30 for 100 and should last a couple of years.

        It's gone real hipster but you can still shave with the same cream or gel you used prior.
        Just take your time, like really slow down the process until you're comfortable with it.

      • I've looked at a few reviews and got Muhle R 89. It's the only one I have so I can't comment on the others but had no issues with it except that I would go for much grippier handle next time (mine is smooth black, it can be slippery)

    • Dont u normally get a lot of cuts using those razors?

      • MUCH less than with gilette. I used to have acne and feared that it wouldn't be great using safety razor, but boy I was wrong. It takes time getting used to it though. Everything is times more important - pressure, angle, speed. Don't bother with "special" lather though - I use whatever regular shaving gel I find that smells better and lubricates enough. Probably room for improvement :)

        • Sounds good, i remember my dad used using these kind of razors back in the 80s. Now these are called safety razors, i wonder if these are special razors or the same old skool razors

    I usually get these ones when they're $21 (Mach3 12pk)

    Had a Rockwell 6C Safety Razor with ASTRA Platinum blades prior to that, but it just wasn't for me.

    • Agree it's not necessarily for everyone, but I've never gone back.
      100 blades for $30 is worth the extra fiddly time around the nose etc.

      • Think I'm too impatient eh. Rather get the job over and done with.

        • What head plate number do you use?

          I use a number 3 and have the gun metal style. Same blades.

    • Yep for some reason, I prefer MACH to Gillette Fusion
      Have tough hair so doesn't last long though
