Wetshaving

Anyone else that shaves the good old way?

With straight razor/safety razor, lather brush & shaving soap?

I only shave my head, and my skin got really * up by using those * gillette razors from the super market, so i ordered (about 2 months ago) a wetshaving starter pack for about 50£ and jesus christ its good. Smooth as a babies *. If anyone are interested in this, i really recommend safety razors with double edged single blades.

 

I just got finished with a wet shave myself. Forgot my normal cartridge razor and had to borrow my dad's set while I was visiting my parents one time. Never looked back. Love it.

 

£1 for 10 disposable Bic
£1 for a bottle a gillete shave
One hand for rubbing in gel

Done.

 

Just grow a beard like a real man...

 

Captain ..........CAVEMAN...........

 

Growing a beard just now but I normally get a wet shave at the Turkish barbers.

 

I have one * of a beard mate i shave my head

 

Inspiring

 

In Marmaris?

 

A manly shaving thread has got to be a good thread

I am too much of a * to use those proper blades haha!

 

You need to get yourself a headblade mate.

 

I was thinking of going down this route as the Gillette Fusion & the likes are *

 

I have one of those mate. A ATX Headblade, but its not nearly as good as a safety razor, trust me

 

Honestly it sounds like it'd take way too much time. I can pop into the bathroom every other day and have a quick shave as it is, I don't have the time or patience to have a big massive ritual to take a few whiskers off my chin. :smiley-laughing002:

 

Naturally. :smiley-laughing002:

 

I love the ritual. Probably wouldn't shave otherwise. :smiley-laughing002:

 

How i feel aswell.

You wont get a closer and cleaner shave then with a straight or safety razor. And its not only that, your skin will feel great from the soap etc.

 

Will give it a bash when I get back to wetshaving my head and face, haven't done it for a couple of years now.

 

Got one oh they headblades, the blades are * unless you change to a Gillette one with adapter. I want to try a de razor, but i get the odd spot on my head and wont it be more likely to slice it off, leaving me looking like i had a fight with a tiger?

 

Started shaving my head this summer to try and get the tan all over look rather than what i normally have...tan top and white sides after hair cut.
But im finding it hard work with gillette and the throw away heads....1 head per shave.

Should i try the safety razor will i get better results and do they last longer....is there a higher risk of cuts...??? do the blades cost more that others....???
