Author Topic: Anyone here use Sraight or Double Edge Safety razors? (Read 14444 times)

I'd done quite a bit of research on straight razors, and have been close to getting one, but I'm considering getting a safety razor. seems to come highly recommended. While buying one can be a bit pricey, the replacement razors are so cheap I think it would pay for itself quickly. Also, its supposed to be quite a good shave, and cause less irritation. My hair is not straight, (wavy on my head, and slightly curly on my beard and neck) and my skin gets irritated rather quickly. I think this would help. What say you gentlemen?

Edit: No ladies, this isn't one for the legs

I've heard others testify on forums that safety razors ordered from online suppliers is the way to go.

Me too. I think I can afford this, and need razors anyways, so I'll check back with you to let you know what the results are! :)

The multiple blade gillette's with castile soap are okay, but very expensive. This doesn't really seem expensive.

I use kirk's castile soap for lather. Much better results than shaving cream.

Really? You're talking about their bar soap right?

I thin I'm going to try [url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/on.com/gp//ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=on.com/gp/&linkCode=as2&tag=httpwwwchanco-20 shaving soap as I got a free badger brush the other day. The exfoliation may help the razor burn as well.
