Razor Recommendations

[rpcyclone2013]

Hey Fanatics. Looking for razor recommendations. Have been using Harry’s for five years or so but I feel like the blade quality has diminished. Anyone use something they would recommend highly?

Switched to a Braun electric and will never look back. Can’t believe how much better electric razors have gotten.

Schick Quattro or quadro, whatever they call it. Blades last much longer than Gillette and others.

Ramon is slick, if not a bit greasy

Don’t do a Mach 3 anymore. Those blades have gone wayyyyy downhill. I am waiting on a different razor to try it out. I’ll get back to u

 

[BCClone]

What area are we using it for? Makes a difference.

 

[Dgilbertson]

Actually went to this 15 years ago and haven’t regretted it one bit.

Which one? they range quite a bit.

I'm the kind of guy who uses both a beard trimmer and a mach 3. And a 2nd mach 3 in the shower. And if I'm going swimming, a mangroomer for the back. And my wife has to assist.

When I'm done it's like someone was murdered in a barber shop.

That being said both the beard trimmer and the mach 3s need to be replaced with something better.

I second the safety razor. Switched to it from Harry’s probably 10 years ago and won’t ever go back.

Third vote for a single blade safety razor. I use a Wilkinson's Sword brand one, but it is so much better and cheaper than any of the multiblade options out there.

Phillips one blade electric razor. I have a beard, so its more about trimming then getting a super clean shave, but it works great and gives a clean shave for an electric.

Got this a year ago. One of my favorite possessions. Can’t believe I was almost fifty before I started using it. Single blade. Replacement blades are super cheap.

Another Henson user.
I've had multiple safety razors and Henson's tolerances are waaaaayyy better than the others.

Agreed on blades. I've been using Feather's for a long time.

Blades are stupid cheap. Keep em fresh and you’re good to go. Far less plastic waste to boot if you care about that.

Been looking for a new safety razor for my nutsack. I’ll have to try this out.

Let it grow and get a trimmer. No reason for a clean shave these days, no one cares.

@JP4CY and any other Feather users, how many facial shaves do you get with Feather?

I use Feather and seem to get 2 maybe 3 before it’s time to switch. I do have really course whiskers that need to be shaved every day if I want a clean look. Usually shave every other day and if I skipped two days I need to shave in the shower.

Any safety users have a strong opinion on a certain soap or brush?
