It looks extremely archaic but if it means not supporting a rape-based industry system, and getting a somewhat better shave (I seem to suck at using disposables) I'm totally giving it a try!

My entire household (family of 8) has converted to wet shaving simply because of the cost of disposable razors and cartridges. But, like you, we were very pleasantly surprised to discover we were getting much better shaves and saving TONS of money; just think of cartridge$ X 8!! Just one GOOD blade beats the dickens out of those cartridges with 2, 3, 4, 5, 6? blades. (Skin grafts, anyone?) The guys like it for the routine and the clean shaves; teenage boys have far fewer zits. Us gals like it for smooth shaves with just ONE or maybe two passes---not 3 to 4 to 5 like we had to do with the disposables. Huhm. We save time. We save money. Save the environment?...just think of all that plastic going into landfills. We are not greenies, but all greenies should switch or shut up. PS. All ladies should try the new pink Cremo. It's the best for us gals; doesn't hide the curves and dents around our ankles etc. in a blanket of foam. I have yet to nick myself with this stuff. It's great. Honest. Sorry for the commercial. :o) Good one, Clever Dude!!! My entire household (family of 8) has converted to wet shaving simply because of the cost of disposable razors and cartridges.

I used to cut myself but I learned that the most important, and wildly overlooked, aspects of wet-shaving are: the blade angle and the pressure applied on the razor. The correct blade angle is 30 degrees onto the face
Wet-shaving also means less waste. Just think about all the non-recyclable plastic that goes into multi-blade cartridges and handles, and the aerosol cans that release harmful by-products into the environment. Switching to old-style shaving props won’t gain you entry into Green Peace by itself, but it is a good start.

On the razor savings, I have for the last 20 years do the two for one approach. When I shower and wash my hair, I use the shampoo as my face lotion and shave with it. I keep a mirror in the bath and all is handy. I not only save on NOT buying shaving lotion, but the blades seem to last longer. Don in MO. Just stumbled across your site, Must say, great job.

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:09:53 +0000 http://www.cleverdude.com/?p=2545#comment-50724 I switched to a DE about a month ago and really enjoy it. I got too much skin irritation from a regular razor and the electric I tried didn't work well enough, maybe I should have bought a more expensive/nicer one. I think I get a better shave now. The cost savings was a minor issue for me, I'm glad to take it but was really looking for a better shave. I switched to a DE about a month ago and really enjoy it.

It doesn't hold the charge for more than 1 shave nowadays, but works just fine plugged in. I'm not sure I can go with the straight razor when shaving at home, but I do love the warm lather and close-shave feeling when I get it at the barbershop. Love my old school barber!

Razor cartridges are a scam, especially the fancy 4 and 5-blade variety. I can't really use the cheap disposable razors, and I get a rash from electric razors. I have asked my family for a nice safety razor and soap brush for my birthday, and I know it will be something I can use for many years to come. I am switching to a safety razor for this very reason.
