Love safety razors. I spent more than the author at "The Art of Shaving" store... about $100 for the handle itself and maybe $50 for a good badger brush. But after that purchase, the razors are crazy cheap. The quality of the shave is way better too. More people would use them if stores like Walmart or Target carried them (which I don't think they'll ever do in the US)
- HillRat 10y agoTarget and similar stores carry van der Hagen razors, which are a pretty solid entry-level line.
- Latty 10y agoYou can do it cheaper than that too. <£10 for a shavette (takes double edged blades snapped in half - which they are designed to do, you just fold them in the wrapper), and you can pick up cheap brushes or even just use the foams (a brush and soap will be cheaper in the long run, but is more commitment up-front). My current set up is a Shavette that cost £8.50, a brush that cost £7.50 (at half price), blades that cost £3.70 for a pack, and shaving soap that cost £10 (lasts for ages). I've tried more expensive stuff and have come back to this setup because it's simply very good.
