Shave Like a Cheapskate

Sure, you can go out and buy lots of expensive razors and soaps and aftershaves and brushes, but what can you get for less than $5 total? That's what I wanted to know as I stood in the shaving aisle of my local grocery store. So, I purchased the least expensive razors, shaving gel and aftershave I could find. All told, it cost less than $5 for everything!
Does the old saying apply, "You get what you pay for," or can I get a decent shave without even coming close to breaking the bank?

One of my favorite quotes on the older, super famous video: "You're at a one night stand, gotta get out quick? Well, then why are are you shaving? Why did you bring your razor to the one night stand??"

[@tootall5559]

Hey dude, you bring the razor for before, not after. No gal appreciates whisker burn on any part of her body, especially between her thighs. You use the razor for a touch up before things get real hot and heavy. Duh, I don't think you've had many experiences with women. A few girls that don't know better yet, but not real women. Oh, you should probably shave before anyway, you don't want your whiskers to pop your blow up doll.

They even had sample packs of Art of Shaving; includes pre shave, cream and post shave balm $1. And 2 kinds of aftershave $1. The aftershave isn't bad.

Aqua Velva was probably the most popular after shave when I was a kid (along with Old Spice and Mennen). I loved the scent :-) Still remember the commercials with the jingle "there's something about an Aqua Velva man …) :-)

[@mimicotom]

When I was policeman, I arrested a local drunk that was bombed out of his mind on Aqua Velva. It has a high alcohol content and is cheaper than a bottle of cheap liquor.

I find the double edge razors very cheap. Sure there is the outlay for the razor but the blades cost me between CAN$0.135 and $1.00 per blade). That's a hell of a lot cheaper than most cartridge systems.

Disposables twin blades work well with the right prep. The Gillette disposables work as well as the Gillette sensor.

[@lupus4666]

Right?! I don't understand the hate towards disposable razors. The only Thing that bothers me is the big waste of plastic you get after the only 3 or 4 shaves

[@lilyraimey3499]

Also for any of y’all who can’t or don’t want to spend too much for a good shave, the Van Der Hagen double edge safety razor (which he’s also reviewed before) can go for as low as a think 14.99 (but I personally got mine for 17.99) and it’s a pretty good quality piece. Comes with a few blades (“ice tempered steel”, but they’re overrated so you could totally get the blades from a different brand that are cheaper). You can fine them practically everywhere.

[@E38vip]

Second this, started with vanderhagen when I was a broke kid with a unnecessary amount of facial hair. When I discovered double edge razor prices I felt like I was robbed before and haven't gone back. That was 6-7 years ago and I still have my vanderhagen and works perfectly fine, razors definitely upped the shave quality being a static position razor. Good shaving cream also goes a long way.

[@evanramee796]

@@E38vip I purchased a butterfly style Van Der Hagen razor about 2 months ago. It was my first razor, and I liked the aggressiveness, but it began rusting after only a few weeks, so I returned it. I'm glad that it has worked so well for you, what do you do to keep it in good working order?

Man, this is like an episode of Back to the Future. I was using disposable 2 blade fixed razors with Barbasol followed by Old Spice before I saw your "Shave every day with a safety razor" vid about 3 years ago and took up DE shaving. I'd still pack a disposable and Pacific Shaving cream for an airplane trip because, well, TSA...

[@SinatraLennon]

Ha! I haven’t used something like that disposable...maybe ever! In the old days (Pre-DE) I always used the Mach 3 or other such thing where you just replace the head.

[@Mo.Faried]

Feeling cheap, clogging, and too much plastic is what got me into DE Razors in the first place although disposable razors were efficient for me. But I have never enjoyed shaving with disposables like I do with a brush and a DE Razor. I have Muhle Rocca and Rockwell 6C and I love shaving with either of them so much.

[@bfj2048]

I don’t know what it is but the $1 DE blades from dollar general, and the $1 aftershave from DG is my favorite. I have no idea why, but they work so well for me and the after shave smells good to top it off

[@dosetti]

One thing I like about safety razors is that shaving with one is cheap. The best blades cost the same amount as this disposable razor you just used. Per blade that is..

[@iggypopisgod9]

pro tip: after wetting the razor, run your finger over the strip to activate. Also, after applying gel, add a touch more h20 to slicken .

[@JimG7755]

I got one up on you! We have a store by my called Dollar Tree, everything is one dollar! I found a stainless steel DE razor with a pack of 5 blades included. I also got generic versions of Skin Bracer and Aqua Velva. You can also get shave gel and can cream as well. $3 shave!! The only thing that was bad was the cheap blades. I recommend using your own favorite blades. It can be done and not a bad shave at all!!

[@Smoking_Tiger]

Those things are probably better than a Gillette Fusion. I used one of those since high school since that's all I knew, but once my facial hair started getting thick and rough, it became too hard to shave. Shaving more than once or twice a week meant my face would hurt super bad- like thousands of pin needles poking my face all over. Switched out to DE, and nowadays shavette, about a year ago. Classical wetshaving has changed everything. Used to HATE shaving, but now I won't leave my house without taking a few minutes for a proper shave. And I feel an often irresistible urge to spend money from my paychecks on a new brush, a new bowl, a new soap, a new aftershave, something... But that's fine because shaving went from something I couldn't stand to a hobby and essential routine.

[@elmanitasdeplomo]

Here because of the algorithm. What I’ve found is that preparation before the shave makes the most difference i.e. using a brush and for me personally face lathering. I get great shaves with the two blade Gillette or other disposables, three blades or more just gives me irritation. Also I find that the affordable soaps and creams like Proraso, Arko, Nivea and Palmolive give just as good results as the more expensive stuff and these four are all I use these days. I’m totally over my compulsive shave gear buying fase.

[@viciazzo]

The perfect razor for me is the Gilette Blue 2, the very basic one no lubricating strip, no slalom head..., I tried all sort of fancy ones, safety razors with lots of different blades but always went back to my favourite. We're all different, different skin, beard, hands...and for me the key is to find what works best for yourself. P.s. and Aquavelva is a classic all-American aftershave, I always keep a Barbasol and an Aquavelva in my cabinet

[@JCNxp]

[@zakirhussain2266]

There are two kinds of shave gels in the market one that foams up and the other that stays clear or low foaming gel. Most high end shaving gels tend to stay low foaming or clear. Cheap ones are the one that foams up. My fav brand is Hawkins and Brimble if you spend abit more or mid range products it last you longer then the cheap stuff cause with cheap stuff you tend to use alot more I will not use something that comes out of the can. Cheap products mostly have too much alcohol that dry your skin out.

[@bobpfaff2258]

I once got stranded on a day business trip and due to a bad storm no planes were flying. I checked into a hotel with no bathroom / shaving kit. They brought me up a little kit with tooth brush, minature tooth paste, disposable razor and minature shave cream. All worked just fine. Not great but a god send at the time.

[@martinmowbray6448]

I use Gillette aloe shaving gel for sensitive skin. Has a great smell and really softens the hairs up. You palm the gel then take a bit as gel with your other hand and start rubbing it into your face. It lathers up great and your hands don’t get all covered in foam. I use with my Gillette proglide and it gives a great shave.

Much better than the grocery chains we have here. I loved Austin too. Anyway, I shaved this way (with a disposable and Edge gel) for like 13+ years until I discovered that safety razors were a thing while looking at cartridge razors. I STILL have a ton of Edge gel that I'm trying to use up - cursing myself for bulk buying the stuff. I use it when my skin gets too dried out from using soaps. Well that was a random stream of consciousness comment, but oh well...

I’ll have to do some research!

[@97channel]

Tesco do Essentials razors, 5 single blade disposables for 30p, or 37 cents if you will. Shave foam, Aldi, equivalent 80 cents. Aftershave, don't know of any brands but the £1 shop will have some, so 1.37 cents for that. Our supermarket value brand prices have risen significantly in the past 10 years though, they're much closer to the price of the supposed quality own brands now. But a decade ago, you could get a pack of 5 razors for a ridiculously low price. Seriously, like 6 cents. Not kidding. Shave foam, probably about 30 cents. Cheap aftershave has stuck at the £1 price point for many years though, although that's becoming increasingly scarce. But you can get it, if you look hard enough.

[@Mixwell1983]

I definately agree, DE shaving now is like pampering myself. I enjoy the entire process from lathering and loading the brush to splashing on my cheap aqua velva or clubman and feeling the lovely burn. Before it was wham bam and done in 2 mins with my cartridge razors.. I often didnt shave for a week with them but i have a beard and only shave my neck and cheek lines.

Please remember to dispose of these "disposable" razors responsibly. Terracycle has a program that will take these used razors and turn them into pelletized plastics that can be recycled.

Great advice!

I am the biggest cheapskate around, and i find that the Assured 5 blade 3 pack razors with the green handles at Dollar Tree are the best i could find right now. Dollar Tree once sold Noxema razors which were great too. I mostly buy foam creams like Barbasol because i like the lathers. The gels do not appeal to me. One piece of advise i can give with cheap razors is some makes are hard to clean, and i have to smack them against the sink to get the hairs out. Its because the gap between the last blade, and the frame of the razor is too narrow. I am now transitioning to a safety razor because i feel like in the long run they are a better value.

I use the assured green aftershave. For a dollar it lasts a couple months. Old spice is about as expensive as I go for aftershaves, I think it’s about 13 cnd.

[@sheshaveswithjill4838]

Hey, thanks! I got those Feather (and Bic) blades today. I now have stock after being down to my last Feather blade. Yeah! Oh, can't forget the pinch of menthol crystals too. Again, thanks.

[@SinatraLennon]

Great! Use the menthol crystals wisely. Or not at all! I’m an enabler. 😏

[@timbtamgomez9110]

NEVER BUY A RAZOR FROM THE DOLLAR STORE! Worst mistake ever, I used it once and vowed never again

[@faltielsonjr5831]

Hahahaaha this video takes me back too when I fist started shaving dirty dull razor, Barbados, Deep Blue after shave all with bloody face full of bumps and irritation. Now I'm all about that brush and porasso foam and Clean One Blade Razors

[@saldomino1639]

Great Video Sinatra ! Looks like you can get a decent shave in a pinch for cheap razors and shave cream !

[@baberkhanbk]

I might surprise you but in my country you can get a disposable razor of Gillette for shaving for like 0.20$ and a shaving cream for just 0.50$. Their is a cheap version of safety razor too that is cheaper then a plastic disposal razor and de razor blade for 5 cents. Aftershaves are expensive though

[@davidkimberly4682]

Interesting video. I got my vintage tech for $6.00, use astra sp blades at least 5x each at 10 cents/ blade, proraso cream $9.00 that outlasts 10 or so cans of gel. I should work out my cost/shave. I do really like the idea you're getting across.

[@Tony-Lazuto]

Aqua velva is cheap but it's a very classy and masculine scent.

[@mikevigil3677]

Cheap DE 15.00 Cake of soap 1.29 x 3 =3.87 brush 5.00 100 DE blades 7.00 total 25.87 = 1 year of shaving. .07 per day every year after that half price DE with last for 10 years. Now that's cheap but good. Brave Man using those high quality items!

[@noorhasan6663]

In my terms the cheapest is Bic metal disposable razor, touchme shaving cream or Gillette shave gel, touchme shaving brush and aqua velva about £1

[@wvejr]

Great video bud! That Aqua Velva is good stuff. But I think I’m hooked on Clubman. Love the classic scents.

[@SinatraLennon]

I prefer the Clubman too.

[@Mixwell1983]

The Dollar Tree sells a tto razor with 5 blades for $1, it's what actually got me into de shaving. Got it for shits and giggles and ended up really liking it. Glad I discovered it. Those throw away 2 blade razors tear my face up bad. Well both times they did but its beem a while. Have a bunch of leftovers that were my dads sitting in the pack in the bathroom closest.

[@pjfsr7024]

You seem to collect safety razors like I collect fountain pens. I never use those cheap plastic razors, tried them once; never again afterwards. I have my Gillette Proglide , Harry ( gift from my daughter ) and Philco 1 blade. I keep mulling buying a safety razor ( but sure I wouldn't use it but once ) to mate it with my fountain pens and 3 watches. I like your channel though.

[@inthefireagine123]

My dad only shaves with these razors and barbasol, refuses to use anything else lol
