I used to have a complicated shave routine, but since discovering feather blades, I just use one of those 2-4 times before replacing it, and shave with nothing but warm water. It's so sharp that it doesn't hurt at all, and the lack of oil or soap means simple running water cleans the razor out. It's so much faster than my previous routine.
(I used electrics for a long time, but I find the smell disturbing and occasionally they pinch and pull. And I like how a double-edge can give me a smoother finish if I do a few broad areas against the grain.)
- adrian_b 3y agoAfter starting to use Feather blades I have discovered the same. I still use from time to time a traditional shaving cream, for the pleasant scent and freshness sensation, but most of the time, when I want to waste a minimum time with shaving, I just shave like you, with the bare Feather blade, without using other consumables except a little after-shave balm.
- ogogmad 3y agoDid you ever get lots of cuts near the Adam's apple?
- knodi123 3y agono, no cuts at all. but from what I've read, this is really a case where everyone is unique. just genetic luck of the draw. those platinum feather blades really are ridiculously sharp, though- if you haven't tried them specifically, maybe they'd work better than what you're dealing with? Fingers crossed, man.
