I don't miss shaving all the time at all....
I use a cheapy bic razor. And i'm lazy so I only shave every 7-10 days.
Went that way of the cheap 5 buck wilkenson sword 3 blade and 5 buck 5 pack refill from walmart. works well enough. use badger brush and oil. works well for me.
You sir have it right.... I only shave my neck
resurrecting an old thread, not really for the dollar shave club reason, but i am enjoying the wet shave, followed with a good scotch. i do credit this thread with this experience, and am hoping someone else enjoys it as well as i have.
My facial hair grows slow and it's really coarse, so it dulls blades faster than cardboard to box cutters. I just go electric and shave like once a week. I'd rather always have stubble than a burning face covered in blood.
I wish my wife would let me grow a beard....

I am biased but I believe every man ought to be shaving with a .50 BMG Razor ...

I second this. I get all of my shave stuff from them now. I bought my razor (a vintage, 1960's Gillette slim adjustable) online and my first brush online, but I like to buy everything else from this store. The staff is very helpful, their selection is good and they keep track of what you've bought in the past so they can help with recommendations if you don't remember what you tried, but want a change.
Wet shaving has changed my mornings. I have to shave every day and dreaded it. I have a thick beard and sensitive skin. Razor burn and ingrown hairs were always a problem, new cartridge blades or electric, it was all the same. I switched to DE safety razor shaving and will never look back. I've been doing it for around a year and have had less ingrown hairs than I had in a month of cart. or electric shaving. I shelled out $50 for my brush, $35 for my razor, $30 for my shaving cream, $25 for aftershave and $ 20 for the blades. I use a tub of shaving cream every 5-6 months and a tube of aftershave every 2'ish months. I still have a ton of blades left and I toss them every 3 days. I can get 4 out of them, but the third is much more comfortable than the 4th day and they're dirt cheap. It takes time to find your cream/razor/blade/aftershave combo, but when you do you're set. You'll probably get good at shaving in a week or 2 and get REALLY good at it in a few months. After using a DE and a Straight, I know why dads had to teach their sons how to shave back in the day. It takes time and practice.
At the very least, wet shave. At the best, get into Straight or DE shaving. It's worth the cost up front for the savings and comfort later on. badgerandblade.com is a good resource to start learning.
sorry for the huge, continued thread jack.
It takes them a while to get used to it.
