My experience was not so good with the Dollar Shave Club. The price is NOT one dollar ! A pack of 4 blades with 4 blades in each cartridge ran me $6.00 which is $ 1.50 per cartridge. So that is an outright lie. Secondly, the Shave Butter is rather greasy and makes it hard to pick up the razor after using the Shave Butter and use the razor. Lastly, the cartridge does not allow you to get up close and underneath the nose since it is not as small as cartridge razors that I have used in the past. It got to the point that after several months of using what I had bought and even reordering one time, I decided to go back to using up the stock of cartridge razors that I had on hand. I can go to Sams Club and buy a years worth of cartridge razors for under $30.00 , go to Wal Mart and buy 10 cans of Barbasol shave cream for about $11.00 and I am set. I have several straight razors , a strop and a hone but using that takes a lot of prep time to sharpen the razor to a keen edge and if its not sharp you end up dragging the razor across your face and it turns into an unpleasant experience.

[@brendanofthelongwhitecloud8489]

[@diogeneslantern18]

What's the learning curve on using a straight razor? I've been using a safety razor for 3 years now but I'm looking to up my level

[@alexisaddicted]

The real answer it depends. It depends on how often you shave, what type of beard you have and how it grows and so forth. Of course you are going to make many mistakes in the beginning and probably some cuts here and there, but if you shave 1 a week during 4-6 months, you should feel comfortable. To make it more comfortable on the skin I would advise to buy a pre-shave oil and apply on skin after a hot bath/shower. And take note that when you shave with a straight razor blade, make it as a ritual and take you time, since rushing up the process might lead into nasty cuts...and this is from experience.

I have a very sensitive beard and I've struggled with razor burn etc. my whole life. A few months ago I bought a safety razor out of frustration and curiosity. I gave up after 3 days of getting my face eaten. Then I watched some of your videos on shaving tips. Only then did I realize: I had been shaving for 30 years and nobody had ever really shown me HOW to shave! I don't remember my dad ever giving me much of a tutorial. He never had problems with his beard...and I probably wouldn't have listened to him anyway. You know how 13yo's are. I've implemented a lot of techniques and strategies that you talked about and it has changed my world! I now prefer a safety razor. I shave in the evening just before bed. That way I'm not rushed for time. Many times I'll use a cartridge for my second pass because I'm still training myself on the safety razor.

I'vnt looked back since and have been using a disposable razor for last 7years and have enjoyed it. The cartridges used to last about 2months, while disposable razor pack last me 3months easily for 1/4th the cost and similar shaving experience.

It is definitely a myth that you need years of practice with a straight razor. As long as you've been properly taught how to use it, it will take you only about 10 shaves, if you count those that you finish with your old razor. Many people do that during their first shaves.

[@DellaStreet123]

@@crimsondust3665 Did you get one? I love shaving with a straight. I cannot use it everywhere on my body, but it's a great grooming tool. Indeed, as long as you strop it before each use and have it honed when necessary, your straight will last you forever or until you lose it. But you might get hooked, buy another straight razor, then another, then a second strop, then maybe a kamisori (Japanese handle-less straight razor)...you might even end up with a collection of your own hones and hone razors for other people.

I just got into the straight razor game myself... bought a cheap one to see if I liked it... ill be spending a little more on a higher quality blade in the very near future

[@MC_Grenada]

I’m 18 and have been using a cut throat razor for over a year now. For me personally it causes the least amount of irritation with having sensitive skin. It also works out to cost about £0.06 per shave not including the shaver itself so it’s very cheap. I would recommend it My least favourite is an electric shaver because it just irritates my skin too much

[@peachin74]

I just close my eyes and believe my hair are gone every morning. It works

[@PC.NickRowan]

I begin my daily shave like a real man with a tilted helicopter and let the blades do their magic

[@afroshined]

I started shaving at 10 and from my first shave my grandpa (who was a barber) taught me to shave with straight razor. I still use the same one to this day

[@Spinal2111]

On the note of safety razors - a friend of mine suggested getting an older one from the 50s-70s so I purchased a Gillette one from the early 1960s and it works amazing, and it seems thats where the money is (for the new ones) the angle of the blade when the cap is screwed down onto it. The best part, it was under $20.

[@10floz30minutes]

The real money was supposedly in the blades ( because they needed to be replaced after a few shaves, so customers would buy more of them).

[@brandonworkman3019]

I've used a Merkur safety razor with feather razor blades for maybe 10 years now. I get a much closer shave with less irritation and it really doesn't take a lot of technique. I highly recommend a safety razor, much cheaper in the long run than the cartridge style plus you feel cool as hell using it.

[@Tesla-Model-S-Plaid]

I use a tri-head electric Philips Norelco for shaving above the lips, checks, and as a final pass. And I use cartridge razors for sideburns and neck. This strategy has really helped me cut down on razor burn and irritation. The Norelco I have is Aquatec, so I always use shaving cream or lotion. Post-shave product from brands like Neutrogena and Nivea have also found a way into my routine.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Nice!

[@williamreggiecunningham1929]

I use a safety razor and have not had any major issues for years. Every now and then I may knick myself. I used the cartridge razors when I first started to shave. They became expensive and irritated my skin sometimes (razor bumps). I investigated the safety razor and it has been smooth sailing. I am currently looking into an electric shaver, but after this video, I think I'll stick to safety.

[@tafaragadze6432]

That transition was smooth. Took me a while to realise i was being marketed to, that's the hallmark of good marketing.

[@Voltanaut]

If you truly care about good shaving, the only option is a wet shave with a safety razor. It's objectively best in terms of smooth shaving, affordability, and results. It's environmentally friendlier too.

[@imvincentgao]

I heated my blade up on the stove and shaved my hair. The end result was a manly scar.

[@kevingraham1566]

I use 3 razors. I shave my head in the shower and for that I use a cartridge razor. For shaving my face I use a straight razor. Important tip here is to learn to sharpen it yourself -- I took mine to a respected knife shop and it came back worse than when I dropped it off. For quick "touch up" work I use a safety razor.

[@RamaSivamani]

Knife sharpening and razor sharpening are very different. Like you said I would either learn to sharpen it yourself or take it to a place that specializes in sharpening and honing straight razors.

[@PhinAI]

I've had many years of success with rotary-head Norelco electric razors with trimmer. In more than 20 years, I've gone through two. I have skin that is sensitive to chemicals, so I can dry-shave with these with no issue.

[@DumbNinjaDude]

I generally use a safety razor to wet shave when I’m home. If I’m away for work however, depending on wether or not I’m in the field at that moment, I will either use a disposable or electric. I just ordered a shavette though for my own experimentation

[@Jacklondon83]

I used cartridge razors in the past from big brands like Gillette, but i got a lot of irritation and ingrown hair. Also caused me a granuloma in the neck, now I have an ugly scar from surgery. Now i use safety razors, in my humble opinion are the best. Unfortunately is hard to buy safety razors and the blades here in Chile (South America), i have to search in really old stores and antique shop. As always, great video. Regards PS: Sorry for the mistakes, i do not speak english.

[@danbasta3677]

Your doing fine. My sister use to live in Chile, South America. Here in the US, dollar stores always carry safty razor blades for only a dollar, you get five blades for your butterfly razor, yet, they last you through many shaves and never seem to get dull.

Just go on amazon, you can get a 100 pack of blades by Astra for $9

[@kcbc9037]

Enjoying using my double edged safety razor. You’re right it was a learning curve coming from using a cartridge style razor before. I find though it gives a much better shave and the cost per use is significantly lower. I’d like to dabble in learning to use a straight razor but the cost from what I’ve researched seams very high for a quality straight blade. In the flip side if the spectrum I’ve also been using shaving soap and a badger hair brush which is lovely.

[@russellbogrett605]

As a barber my recommendation has always been a single blade razor. I have only used a straight edge since i have been shaving. Not anybody can use them. So i advise a safety razor or cartridge razor. I tell clients that its not worth the money for a electric shaver. Disposable razors are no good either.

[@wexswexs5996]

Which one is the single blade Razor in the video ??

I am 77 and I have used all that you have mentioned, Straight razor was my first one, now a alternate depending on my mood or if I am in a hurry or not,

[@Benvbart]

I have and use a Dovo Straight razor that I love. I also love my Karve brass DE safety razor. I also use the Supply 2.0 SE Injection Razor. I do use cartridge when I travel. Great video for a simple breakdown.

[@tvblue3010]

For me, I've been using electric razors most of the time. I usually buy Phillips Norelco. I have tried a Gillette Fusion razor but it made my skin bumpier.

[@maztipu4531]

TV Blue same with me bro

[@a.ovation2086]

TV Blu exact opposite for me man.

[@Erowens98]

You should try a DE safety razor, it shouldn't cause bumps like the cartridge razor does.

[@GJones_books_photography]

I started on a Electric when I was 16 then I just gave up because my facial hair grows too slowly the Gillette Mach three is what I’m using now but a saftey Razor just arrived for me. Advice??

[@CoverWunTB]

I use dollar shave club. Been using the blades from them for years. But in all honesty. Any razor. I.e Gillette razors which would be the competitive brand would work just as good. Just not as cheap as dollar shave clubs razors. I believe the key ingredient to a good shave is what shaving cream or gel you use. For me. The shave butter is the best in the market. I’ve used many other brands and all types. Even tried sensitive skin ones even though I don’t have sensitive skin. And the shave butter was the best. No matter what razor or electric razor your using. The shave butter is smooth and leaves your skin smooth as butter. As the name suggests. I continue to buy the shave butter. It’s inexpensive and lasts a good while. Depending on how often you shave. When I use the shave butter, I shave down. Up. And sideways for a close as possible shave. My hair grows quick. But the shave butter gives me smoothness for at least a half a day extra.

[@UmbrellaXR]

I’m 16 I used cartridge razors for about a year but I just switched over to the safety razor, wow it’s amazing

[@shahancheong9792]

Been using a straight razor for damn near 10 years now. I started with a cheap double-edged safety, and that lasted about 9 months or thereabouts, but I just hated having to clean it all the time and change blades and buy blades and...whereas a straight razor, properly sharpened, stropped and cleaned, will last forever. It was just cheaper. And a good antique or vintage straight-razor, strop, brush and scuttle/bowl doesn't cost much.

What a great presenter! Calm, but still engaging and on point. Cheers!

[@michelecammareri1464]

Nice review, however I think you're unfair with electric razors. Clearly you have a very modest experience with them, you barely talk about it and you point out that they cost more than wet shaving. I used both systems for years, and I can tell spending 100 bucks at the beginning for something lasting a minimum of 2 years, is less expensive than buying razors every week. You can like it or not, but it is usually cheaper. Also, but this is personal, I had Braun, Philips, and no electric razor ever broke on me, only changed as I wanted to try something new: they're pretty solid things, not as bad as you say. But again, nice review overall.

[@Debbie321lopez]

I don't have the luxury or curse of a lot of facial hair (and yes my youtube name suggests I am of the female kind). But when I do I prefer the straight razor. As a knife collector it's the most common way of shaving. One time I shaved myself with a scimitar. Cool way but never again.

[@yohanan3821]

A.... Scimitar. The guts on this girl. Props.

No need for a razor, I just sharpen my nails and voila!

[@shubhamsagar631]

so I tried the single blade and spend almost 3 hours trying to shave property. I ended up cutting myself :( but I won't be quiting anytime soon °^°

[@ItsMikeArre]

I got 48.480705 after doing the formula you gave in the beginning Antonio nonsense I don't think so 🤣 great vid as always I been using a mix of electric and cut throat nothing gets closer or leaves the skin as smooth as a straight razor but be aware u will cut ur self the first 10 times first 5 very badly a brand I love is Dovo and I usually buy a 10 pack of platinum coated Merkur blades those last me a good 3 months but I shave like 3 times a week

[@MarkShaneHansen]

I have my doubt about you getting that number. I got 1670,51. If you were born in 1950, only 150 cm tall and your phone number ended in 9999, you'd still get a number of 855,73. So I'm officially calling bullshit on you calculating it! :D By the way, what do you mean about buying blades? Merkur blades is safety razor blades, but you say you use electric and cut throat, neither of which use those?

[@ItsMikeArre]

Mark The Gr8 Born 1985 Height 6ft or 182 Last 4 of my phone number 7489 As far as razors go I use a combo of both electric to get my neck and side burns and a straight razor with replaceable blades kinda like the one after the cut throats one same blades cut in half look up Dovo straight razors they are great and not that expensive

[@ItsMikeArre]

Mark The Gr8 I just looked it up 4u I guess it's called a Dovo shavette idk what the difference is but it's basically a straight razor with a removable blade

[@MarkShaneHansen]

Thank you. I haven't seen straight razors with removable blades before. Straight razors aren't really a thing in my country. With your info, your number seems to be 2327,11. Year of birth multiplied with height in cm, divided by last four numbers in phone number and squaring that result. (1985*182/7489)^2 = 2327,11

[@ItsMikeArre]

Mark The Gr8 no problem man that's why we can comment to give each other feed back and recommendations and I guess I didn't here the squared part at the end their thanks for working out the math for me and definitely check online we live in a world now where if u have internet you can just order anything from anywhere with the right amount of $
