Double Edged Safety Razors
How short our collective memories are... There is another option besides disposables, plastic-cartridge disposables, electrics, and straight razors (good, but let's face it, too steep a learning curve for most of us). There are permanent razors in which you replace only the metal blade. Lots of advantages here: the blades are much cheaper, give you a much closer shave, and last much, much longer than any disposable. Go to menessentials.com and search for the "Merkur Futur," a German razor. Sure, it's $60, but that's just four big packs of (evil) Gilette Mach 3 razors, which give you a decent shave only once or twice. And those blades are recycle happy. Save them up in a beer can and then crush it. You'll only use one every two weeks anyway. On Umbra on shaving posted 4 years, 5 months ago 28 Responses
