I've spent some time researching shaving and tried out everything from cutthroat razors to electric ones, and my conclusions are these: If you are using cartridge razors, you are being ripped off. Learn to use a double edged razor, shave at a cost of pennies per month (do get the platinum coated blades though), get a better shave and produce so much less waste.
Pro tip: For most skin types, bar soap works equally well or better than any shaving cream/butter. For the rest, shaving oil will do the trick.
- auctiontheory 13y agoI went through a phase of thinking as you are. And then I realized that in the big scheme of my life, I was spending way too much time focusing on a very insignificant piece of my day. I could get much better return applying the same time and energy to choices that have bigger impact. And ... did I really want to shave with blades that could slice me up?
- drunken_thor 13y agoI don't think you gave it enough practice, I have been using a double edge for years and shave faster than I did with cartridge because I only need one pass. Feather blades and olive oil are the only thing I use. Also double edges were originally called safety razors for a reason.
