I just reuse the same razor for months on end, sometimes six months. It gets dull, which is actually great. I get far more face cuts from a sharp razor. The dull ones I find are highly effective. I always use premium razors.
I dont use shaving cream either, just some bar soap when I am in the shower. The hot shower seems to make my skin easier to shave.
Shaving with dry skin (with shaving cream) in front of a mirror is a nightmare, and has resulted in far more cuts for me
- drawkward 2y agoThis whole post is a nightmare! Ouch! ;)

- lotsofpulp 2y agoI shave with only water and a philips oneblade (because I also trim). I used to just use whatever schick quattro or Gillette equivalent was cheapest when I kept a clean shave. And I can use the same blade for at least a year, maybe even 2.
- mint2 2y agoBut why would one ever shave with dry skin in front of a mirror? Walking barefoot on burning hot asphalt is also a nightmare and coincidentally also not how it’s meant to be done.
- codingwagie 2y agoI meant dry skin with shaving cream on it. It hurts more than just wet skin in a hot shower
- saratogacx 2y agoI'm similar. Shave in the shower with a 2 blade cartridge for 2-4 months. Thumb off the blade after use to clean and put it away until next time. No soap, no cream, no oil; just water, skin, and blade. I don't get cuts or bumps and have been using this arrangement for 10+ years.
