Reddit reviews Feather 10 Razor Blades New Hi-Stainless Double Edge

Buy yourself a safety razor. It will make you feel like a man, save you money on razors (blades are cheaper than disposables, even if you get the good ones and it makes your morning classy.

Dude if you like Astra blades you should check out Feather blades. They are super sharp and give a really nice shave.

Cartridge blades maybe. This kind are 71 cents a blade, and that's a premium brand.

Am I winning?
sounds fun!

I have a shaving tip for every transfemale here.

Do not use store bought razors, they're garbage and awful for your skin.

Do yourself a favor and pick up a Safety razor and feather platinum coated blades.

It's far smoother, cleaner and closer of a shave. smoother skin=better make up application.

This is even more important if you're black or have africanized skin and hair like I do.

It takes a bit of effort and dexterity to learn, but once you do the store bought razors are just...trash.

Oh yeah and its WAY WAY WAY cheaper than store bought trash.

I've actually bought a grip for the old-school blades (don't buy from that link, it was the first google hit for illustration, that's all). Those blades are a couple cents each.

It took me about two shaves to get accustomed to the different handle. Add decent shaving soap (also available cheaply because it lasts forever) and a brush and you're set. You can even be fancy on the handle and the brush as you don't need to replace the handle (ever), and the brush lasts at least a year of daily usage.

Shaving isn't any more difficult at all. In fact I find it easier because the single blade does not get clogged with hairs so easily.

It's hard for me to not mention 4 important items that every man should have in their shaving kit:

merkur 180 long handled razor

feather blades, the sharpest you can buy

For sensitive skin and a close shave, this combo is hard to beat. Bonus items if you really want to shave well:

proraso, numbs the pain

boar bristle brush, really makes the lather

Wet shaving FTW!

Yeah, I just use a shaving razor. The Feather razors are easily the sharpest thing you can buy, in an absolute sense. It is kind of insane just how sharp they are compared to even the sharpest kitchen knives.

Switching to a safety razor literally changed my outlook on the world in the morning. Much better shave, not a lot more time, no ingrown hairs, smells a lot nicer. Here's what I would recommend for starters:

• Merkur razor. There are many models, so pick one you like the price/look of
  
  
• Tweezerman brush
  
  
• Colonel Conk shaving soap. Again, many kinds but I like this one.
  
  
• Feather blades
  
  
  You can shop around and see if anything suits you better, but I highly recommend all of these. Also, this video is a good starter if you've never used a safety razor before. I've never seriously nicked myself, but I have with a Mach 3 (which I still use to shave my head).
  

¿estas?

Leí que eran convenientes porque la verdad son tiradas de baratas y si tienes piel mas o menos sensible no te hacen cagar con 5 cuchillas al mismo tiempo.

Si te refieres a esas venden antiguas (sin uso y en su cajita) en la feria de Av Argentina y en la plaza O'Higgins.

I use a Parker SR1, with either Feather or Shark blades.

Shavettes are much less forgiving than a traditional straight razor in regards to technique, but still provide a nice shave.

Awesome choice, love my safety razor.

No feathers? :(

Not cartridges. It's not a straight razor or anything lol. Just the old double edge single razor blades like these: https://www.amazon.com/Feather-Razor-Blades-Hi-Stainless-Double/dp/B001G5FOLI

They work just fine, and at less than $0.50 per double-edged razor, you tell me if its worth the savings.

Me, I love not paying more than $2.00 per razor. Your call.

1. Buy razor handle
   
2. Buy pack of razors
   
3. Shave
   
4. ...
   
5. Profit

I figure it's only right of me to explain where I purchased everything!

As much as I would like to say that I picked up everything in the picture at a luxury grooming shop off Jermyn Street in London, it's all actually from Amazon. The razor, stand, and bowl were purchased together as a part of this gift set, though since I had no intention of using the included brush or soap, I probably should've purchased them separately.

Speaking of brushes, the brush is a Parker in 100% silvertip badger, which can be found here. As I mentioned in another comment in this post, the brush is a great deal; it's not only cheaper than most other silvertip brushes, but it makes a great lather to boot. Matches the set, too!

As the picture shows, I'm using Proraso shaving cream and aftershave, although I recently picked up some Edwin Jagger aloe aftershave as well. Both smell fantastic, the latter being my preference.

Not show in the picture are Feather razor blades and a styptic pencil, although I intend to switch to alum soon.

And you guys said doing this would be cheaper than using cartridges... ;)

Now you need to pick up a fat boy, pretty much the best ones they ever made and the one I use every day. Also I strongly suggest using Feather Blades, they're amazing.

Are you using REAL disposable blades? Like: https://www.amazon.com/Feather-Razor-Blades-Hi-Stainless-Double/dp/B001G5FOLI

Or are you using Gilette/multi blade ones?

[It's a brand. Made in Japan.] (http://amzn.com/B001G5FOLI)

Are you referring to these. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001G5FOLI/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1421123978&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

If you are just looking to dip your toe into the waters then pick up this guy from Amazon for $2. It will get to your house in about two weeks since it ships from hong kong. During that two weeks hit a local walmart or other appropriate store and pick up a pack of 10 safety razor blades also for less than $2.

Use some Barbasol if you don't have a shaving cream preference (you said beginner!) and go very slowly your first shave or two. As you learn the direction that your beard (or other assorted body hair) grows it will become easier to get cleaner shaves with less passes and less irritation, maybe a month tops.

If you don't like it, then using this method you're out less than $10.

Edit: I recommend the cheap Wilkinson Sword type razor blades to start. Once you get the hang of it pick up some Feather blades off of Amazon if your local stores don't sell them. Don't start with Feathers though you might knick your head off.

what do you use to score? I highly suggest getting same safety razor blades

it cuts very nicely. super sharp and a very thin blade. quick cuts help too. think of it as slashing vs. dragging the blade.

I ordered this and this last night, but they'd get here mid-September and I needed some other things to order to get my add-ons, so I went for those.

Probably yeah. They're sold pretty well everywhere. I;m just talking about these ones, they'll have to do for DIY hair cutting. Hairstylists use a better version that's made for cutting hair. I'm not even positive it'll work. Just make sure you don't get two sided ones.

Hairstylists use something like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Diamond-Edge-Professional-Styling-Razor/dp/B000NJJD60/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1343973781&sr=8-3&keywords=hair+razor

Once again, I'd really recommend you go to a professional stylist with the picture if you want something like this. They'll even show you how to style it.

Is it this razor blade?

I like to use double edge safety razor blades like these.

I found a pack of gillette blades for under $10 for a bunch at Walgreens, each one will last a long time.

A straight? I hope you've got a very steady hand; those nicks can get pretty wicked. I wouldn't use one anywhere near my vag.

If you're just looking for a single bladed razor, check out /r/wicked_edge. I have vintage Gillette double edged safety razor that was my grandfather's. It gives a way better shave than regular disposable or cartridge razors (especially with my favorite Japanese blades), it's cheaper to own, and causes less irritation. I won't ever go back to flimsy plastic razors after using one of these babies for awhile.
