When I started shaving my face about a year ago, I decided to treat myself and get a safety razor, blades, soap and brush setup.
Just yesterday I used one of those disposable three blade jobbies for the first time since I was 12, and… It was faster, easier, more comfortable, and a way better shave.
Anyone have experience with this? Was I taken in by GQ style nostalgia bait, or will I really get better results from a safety razor with practice?
I use a foil shaver every day because itʻs so easy and gentle on my skin, and it leaves my face very smooth. The one I use only works on stubble, but it contains all the hair so I can use it anywhere, and itʻs super convenient to carry with me.
Do those work better than the ones with the circular pads that you mash against your face?
I’ve never used those, but I have been using this thing daily for like 2 years. If any of my hair grows past stubble, I just clean that up with a philips oneblade. You have to clean it out every so often. The hair gets trapped on the inside by design, so you have to empty it. I use alcohol wipes to clean the metal parts. Don’t use alcohol on the plastic. A single C battery keeps it going for a long time, I might need to buy a new one soon or something, but it still works pretty well.
I bought one of these based on ur post! I like it, although it feels fragile lol
I’m still trying to figure out the safety razor but so far I like this a lot as an option to have on hand
Iʻm so glad! Iʻve actually been using mine for several years. I clean it regularly and change the batteries, but it still works pretty great!
