Just got this beauty last week:



Got it from vintagestraightrazor.com, They had a sale an it was only $20, normally $60. Have yet to use it. It's a bit... intimidating.

I've used a Gillette Fusion for years though.

im scared when a barber does a straight razor. I definitely dont have the balls to do it myself. Makes me think of the opening scene in 'Eastern Promises'.

I had the Gillette Fusion since I got it for free in the mail when I turned 16 lol. Awesome company for doing that program. I lost that razor a few months back so I bought a Fusion Pro Glide. I see and feel no difference for any of you wondering if the difference is dynamic.

shaving is reserved for the pubes and neckline, never the face!

My sister is a hair stylist so i asked her what I need to shave my ballsack and anal and she gave me a wahl clipper. I run that thing across my bag at 12k rpm . I go from ass to face without a thought. I never shave except my neck.

[IRON-E]

I use a Mach 3 because the package reminds me of M3

I've seen Sweeny Todd, as a result a razor is never going near my neck. I use an electric razor for it and my face. Nair everywhere else for no prickles.

Ive been using a straight razor for two years. Best shave ever.

And WTF? NAIR?? That shit stinks so bad I won't even open the cap.

[Mullet Bullet]

ive used a mach 3 for years now but it still bugs the hell out of my skin. ive been thinking of a straight razor for quite some time so i might just go that route.

tried electrics and they are garage, not close enough and takes too long.

so anyone recommend a decent "tryout" straight razor to get. i don't want to spend $80 on something that im to retarded to use.

[b*saint]

A straight razor is a little more aggressive than a multiblade...

[Mullet Bullet]

then i must be retarded already because when i do shave it feels as if im tearing the hair from my face

[b*saint]

No Im just saying a straight blade is probably not the right alternative.

K. So I received this yesterday, and tried it out this afternoon. It does feels a bit different from using a regular multi-blade disposable (kind of feels and sounds like a straight razor shave from the barber), but I like it. I can't really argue that that it leaves my face any smoother. It's definately shaves as close, maybe even a little closer, but it's difficult to discern a huge difference.

But the biggest benefit, I think, is that it didn't leave a razor-burn feeling.

I generally have to shave everyday, so I'm going to give it the rest of the week before I make a firm decision to stick with it.

[Wh33lhop]

I'll shave every two or three days with a Quattro--the more blades the better, right? ;)

I've done the brush and soap thing for awhile, soon I'm going to migrate to a safety/double-edge razor and eventually try my hand at using a cutthroat.

There are actually shaving forums out there, believe it or not. I looked into it a loong time ago.

Revive:

Question. I want to keep my neckline clean, but I leave a very short trimmed beard on my face. I get razor burn if I shave too often, shaving my neck twice a week is perfect. Any tips or tricks to keep a clean neck, without razor burn? fucking shit sucks
