Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Yeah, I know some of you use a straight razor, some don’t shave at all. I am not asking you. if you use dollar shave club or Harry’s razors, what’s your experience with them? Jeremy’s is just pie in the sky until he ships product.

Texas Joker Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Used Harry's for a while now especially since wally world picked em up. Caveat: I shave in the shower since it softens the whisker. That being said the blades work as well or better than a mach3. And being the cheapskate I am I change em every 4-6 months and still get a close shave.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I have a beard but I do shave my neck and part of my face. I mostly use a Braun electric. I have a double edge razor that was my fathers and also a 5 blade razor that takes way too expensive blades! The electric is quick and easy. It doesn’t do an excellent job but it’s good enough for an old guy with a beard . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G W Wade Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I buy the cheap disposable 2 blade hoes they sell at Walmart. Most are very good, but usually 1 or 2 in the pack only last a few shaves. And plus 1 on shaving in the shower. GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Still use Wilkinsons Sword double edge, and an old cutthroat straight razor when the mood strikes. Brush, soap & Mug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work with several guys that swear by Harry’s products. They are very happy with them and they all started using Harry’s because of one guy convincing them to try them and drop their expensive “Quantum 5 blade Teflon enhanced girl catcher latest and greatest blade ‘systems”. Not sure if they switched because they are all cheapskates or if Harry’s is actually better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Try using a cheap cream rinse in the shower vice shaving cream. I know a few ladies that swear by it vice using regular shaving cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Wilkinson's Sword and Zest bath soap in the shower unless I want or need a more precise shave. The I use the same razor, Co. Ichabod Conk's bd shaving soap with a boats hait brush, and then I shave over the sink with a mirror up close. Rinse thoroughly with water as hot as you can stand. I still finish up with Grand Bay bay rum (because my favorite brand is no longer made). The smell doesn't last very long, which I'm okay with, and it sort of sterilizes my face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantankerous Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Whatever razor is on sale. Gel cream. Brush. But after I retire and no longer am required to be clean shaven, I'll not spend much effort on shaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 A cheap way to shave? You could sharpen your pocket knife really good and use bar soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Having been thru the Depression, my Grandfather would sharpen double edged blades by stropping on the inside of a drinking glass and re use them. Actually works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seamus McGillicuddy Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 A $5 bag of BIC razors and a $2 can of Barbasol last me about a year. With a mustache and chin whiskers and shaving maybe twice a week it’s not much of an investment. Seamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still hand Bill Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I am partial to a good safety razor. Although I have a couple that are not cheap. My favorite for serious mowing is a Maggard slant, about $15 and blades run $25/100. I like Gillette silver blues. I also like my Rockwell but it’s a bit more expensive. Then for special occasions, I have a BBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
