Reddit reviews Feather Double Edge Blades, 50 Count

They're a bit more expensive, but feather is another brand which I think are the sharpest you can get.

EDIT: Since there's been a ton of comments, I thought I'd just summarise: Shaper doesn't mean better - depending on your skin, different sharpness will drag or cut more here is a little guide about the sharpness of a couple of different manufacturers. For anyone just starting out, I recommend getting a sampler of a couple of different sharpness blades and seeing what works for you.

Showed her an ad for replacement razor blades?

Awesome! All right, here we go.

Razors:

The difference between men and women's razors is that women's have longer handles and a smaller aperture for the blade. Men's usually have a wavy little comb bit that lifts up their thicker beard hair to cut.

The one I personally recommend is the Weishi. It's $17 bucks, and the metal is really light, but I ended up getting used to that fairly quickly. Not a big initial investment and perfectly adequate for my needs.

I see Murker recommended fairly often. I hear they are okay, if overpriced. I personally hated it, lol. They are definitely geared towards beards and did not play nice with my pale little legs.

You could also go for the vintage Lady Gillette. I paid $30 for mine on ebay and it's got a nice long handle, good grip, and nice weighty metal. This was actually my first purchase and I'm still really happy with it. Considering I'm happy with the Weishi, though, I'd probably just repurchase that one if I ever lose mine.

Blades:

Now this one might take some trial and error. Everyone has different hair and different skin and every razor brand shaves a little differently.

A lot of people start off with a multipack to get a feel for the different blades and then narrow it down to brands they like. I think it's a great idea and probably your best bet. I'll still mention my experiences though.

STAY AWAY FROM DORCO. They are bullshit. I'm not a fan of Gillette brand blades either except for the Wilkinson Sword and they're kind of expensive at $20 for 100. Derby is also just okay.

Feather: give the sharpest, closest shave ever. So sharp that you can cut yourself and you won't even notice until the trail of blood starts going down the drain. Great blades, and a ton of people like them, but I found that they dull too quickly for leg real-estate and are too scary sharp for sensitive bits.

Voskhod: Sharp, reliable, lasts through a few shavings. I quite like this one and have repurchased it. They are good, solid razors that gave a decent shave. Good for all-over.

Shark: My favorite at the moment. Comparable to Voskhod except I feel they might give a slightly closer shave and dull a little bit faster. If I had both in the bathroom I would probably choose Shark for the legs and Voskhod for everywhere else.

Astra: Worked adequately. Shave isn't bad or great, just reliable. Worked on the legs but not as good in other places. Wasn't worth a repurchase.

Lord: I think these actually lasted the most shaves out of all of them, at about 4 uses per blade. I think I had the least incidence of cuts with these but the shave wasn't as close as I wanted. My shaves usually last two or three days with the other razors but with this one I was feeling it lasted only 1-2. I think these are literally the opposite of the Feathers in terms of their qualities.

​

M'kay, that's all I can think of for now. I hope this helps!

Merkur razor. Here is a nice starter. ($32.34)


Feather Double Edge Blades, 50 Count ($11.77)

A year's worth of shaving for one month of Dollar Shave Club

Here's my suggestion.

Get a slant head razor.

Use Feather blades. They're the sharpest you can get.

Stop using canned shave cream, get a real shaving soap and a decent brush.

Also get some Mr GLO soap and use it before you shave. Lather it onto your beard and let it soak in for two and a half minutes, then rinse and apply your lather. This makes your beard as soft as it's gonna get.

Shave with the grain, re-lather, shave across the grain, re-lather, shave against the grain.

Read this book and go to this website.

Hope this helps.

Not bad at all, just overpriced. You can get a 50 pack of Feathers on Amazon for just $15.

Tryablade.com is good because you can buy razors individually or in 5 packs, or try a bunch in a sample pack. Every person's preferences are different, so see what works best for you. I found that Personna Reds are my favorite blades.

The nice thing about DE shaving is that blades are all around pretty cheap. Even if you treat yourself to the most expensive blades money can buy, you'll still only be spending like $.80 for a week's worth of shaves.

I'm extremely self-conscious of my facial hair; if I had to label myself, it would be as trans / genderqueer.

When I was reading earlier, I only mention it because I have a huge issue with shadowing. I missed when you said
> but in cases where I don't have time or don't want to put any on

and I'm sorry. However, I'll leave this link here just in case you haven't looked deep into color correcting, cause it def helps me.

But, in my experience (YMMV), even the closest shave will still have a slight shadow and if I'm feeling weird about it I take 5-10 minutes to cover it up.

Since you're asking for shaving tips though, here's my advice:
Start with a DE. I'd personally recommend the Edwin Jagger (it's what I have, it won't break the bank. The blades are insanely cheap. I generally go with Feathers.

If you want to make buying easy on yourself, there's a kit here I've had on my pinterest wishlist forever that looks pretty nice.


As for the act of shaving itself, you can check out this video tutorial that covers the Edwin razor that's pretty good.

You can also check out this quick shaving routine. A lot of the DE shaving comes in how many passes you do, and which direction you're shaving (with / against the grain etc.) I would highly recommend checking out the FAQ section and scrolling down to "how do I shave".

You don't want to go against the grain though every time you shave, as it'll most likely start to irritate your skin. Going against the grain as the last pass of shaving always gets the closest / least noticeable shave for me. But there is still a shadow, unfortunately. This is why I recommend color correcting under your foundation, as you shouldn't have to be putting on "half a bottle" (I know it's an exaggeration) in the first place.

How about Amazon.com, with 2-day shipping?

There are cheaper safety razors, but since you only have to buy it once I tried to get a decent one. There are also way cheaper blades, but many reviews claimed the "feather" brand is the best, so I went with that.

Safety razor: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00374F5CY?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image

Blades:

If you go bigger, it looks like you can get 100 feather blades for about $36.

The container the blades come in have a disposal slot on the back, so no need to worry about getting a special disposal container.

You may also want to get into shaving brushes and actual shaving cream to lather. It also goes a long way, and makes the razor glide easily to help prevent accidental cuts. I got mine at a local Body Shop.

I use the Edwin Jagger DE89Lbl. IMO you don't need a razor specifically designed for women; they will do the job regardless. Women sometimes choose different blades, though. Since men's facial hair is usually thicker, they prefer more aggressive (read: sharper) blades like Feathers. I'm perfectly okay with the less aggressive blades like Derbys. If you go one /r/wicked_edge, they always recommend beginners get a blade "sample pack" to see what brand works for you, and then stick with that brand.

Best shave I've ever had in my life and there's nothing anyone could do to ever make me change back. All those grandpa's and great-grandpa's were doing it correctly; everyone else after them has been duped by advertising.

In case anyone is curious here's what I'm using ...

• late 60's Gillette Tech (ball end)
  
  
• feather new hi-stainless blades (25 cents a blade)
  
  
• HeadSlick shave cream (best product ever, not just for bald heads)
  
  

Shave after warm shower. Use pre-shave oil and quality shave soap.
Use an adjustable razor set to lowest number or an exceptional mild razor like the PAA DOC original, but with a very sharp blade such as Feather.

Once lathered, use only cold water to complete shave. Shave by removing the lather (really light touch), don't try to remove facial hair. Take a look at the FAQ.

After shave ritual: cold water rinse, witch-hazel, balm, then aftershave

Well there's a treasure trove of information about advice at /r/wickededge, but personally I use an Edwin Jaeger (either DE86 or DE89, I forget), with Feather blades (I recommend not to try them until you're experienced with the safety razor, they're ridiculously sharp) and Proraso soap with Proraso preshave. Amazon links:

http://amzn.com/B003LW4L2W - razor

http://amzn.com/B00AGG3MNU - blades

http://amzn.com/B001MF3FMW - soap

http://amzn.com/B000RIAD0W - preshave

You'll also need a badger hair brush - http://amzn.com/B00LDYFGFQ

This set up should last you a really long time, and it's not that expensive. Probably cheaper than a few months worth of crappy cartridges.

There are tons of blade manufacturers, you just have to find ones that work I use these and they are amazing. Even if you shave every day, a pack of 50 blades will last at least a year, often two.

/r/wicked_edge for alot of info but I just started shaving alone at 31! I started with a Shavette too so pretty hard. But my ritual works like a charm.

1. Take a hot shower.
   
2. when you are done. come out and wash your face with some Glycerene soap . Any some with the same contents works. I leave it for around 1 mins. Then apply shaving cream lather on top of it.
   
3. Time to make some lather! use a brush it helps moisturizing and massaging the lather into your beard and pores. Two types of Brushes:
   
   

• Synthetic hair brush. option one. Good option 2 cheaper Just keep in mind if you go synthetic then buy shaving creap and not soap.
  
• Boar/Badger - You will need to pay up here. I went Silvertip Badger which is the finest but with the cheapest brush. This has a whole different prep so PM if you wanna shell out a few extra bucks but live in bliss. keep in mind that Synthetic is just as good.
  
  
• Buy a shaving bowl or any soap bowl will do, take your brush into the soap/cream. For soaps creams buy something with Glycerine1 My favorite scent is this one 2. See this video to make lather
  
  

4. Shave. With the grain or across as a beginner. A good Double edge safety razor to start with some blades very sharp so careful
   
   
5. When you are done splash your face with some cold water onceor twice. Use an alum block around your face. If it burns alot it means you were too rough on that area. After that a splash of with hazel.
   
   
6. Wait a few mins and use some nivea sensitive after shave balm
   
   Remember always pat your face with the towel to dry. Dont rub.
   
   Tips on how to shave with a DE are plentiful on youtube.
   
   Enjoy. Feel like a Boss.

It's way cheaper. I only do a few times with each blade, maybe 4-5 though you could probably get more. I get like 50 blades for $15 on Amazon.

Thanks found it on prime. I'll go with these. I do not need anything special just don't want bad ones. I appreciate your help

Hello fellow bald dude. Can I lay a suggestion on you? I use this safety razor. I use a new blade every shave. I use these Feather razor blades. I don’t complain about the cost blades and I always get the best shave compared to any other razor I’ve ever used. Saves a ton of money and a better shave!

I use this...http://www.amazon.com/Merkur-Futur-Safety-Razor-Finish/dp/B000JPKLUU

set to 6.

and this...http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AGG3MNU/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687762&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001G5FOLI&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=11XG319FHKP8A5J1XZXE

That is all...as close as it gets with one to two passes. Aggressive.

I have sensitive skin on my face personally, I found a type of razor that actually helps to reduce the irritation. Safety razors (yeah I know kind of old school) But when using them it helps to reduce irritation significantly (at least in my experience) I personally use a Merkur safety razor. You can also get womens safety razors but for whatever reason they cost more. On top of that I use a boar hair brush, but some people prefer badger hair brushes as they are softer and are easier to use on softer soaps. Then go onto r/wicked_edge as they have tutorials on how to use the type of razors. You can also look for shaving soaps that contain aloe or things to soothe the skin during shaving. So look at the links and determine what would be best, you can also look further for other types of soaps, blades, and the razor itself. You will also need some sort of bowl to keep the shaving cream. You will and a stand to keep the soap from ruining the knot inside of the brush itself. This type of set up made it so I don't get ingrown hairs or irritation.

Just get an Amazon Dash button. You could pay nearly $1.90 per blade through Harry's or $0.24 per blade for feathers and just press the dash button when you need more.

1. Slicing off skin (especially with warts on it) is one of my interests. If you are able to get photos or videos it'd be great if you posted it, not just the end results.
   
2. You're not doing much, if anything, for the tissue with the virus. Take a lage bowl and fill it with ice, a little bit of water, and a bunch of salt. Soak your foot in it for 5-10 minutes. This will numb it and reduce the pain a great deal. Water level should come up to at least the top of your foot, if not your ankle. You can also apply a tourniquet above the ankle if you want to minimize the bleeding. Then, start cutting and go as deep as you can. I'd suggest buying a scalpel online, and / or razor blades for a safety razor (like this https://www.amazon.com/Feather-Double-Edge-Blades-Count/dp/B00AGG3MNU). A sharp blade causes less pain and makes it easier to go deeper. Good luck!

blades shouldn't be more than a quarter https://www.amazon.com/Feather-Double-Edge-Blades-Count/dp/B00AGG3MNU/

You're still speaking for others and I'm nothing special. Just learn how to use it before hacking away at your face and use good shaving cream and most importantly a good new blade. It's not rocket surgery, you can figure it out if you try.

I get these: http://www.amazon.com/Feather-Double-Edge-Blades-Count/dp/B00AGG3MNU/ref=pd_sbs_hpc_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=10PH1EWTGDPCH0RNQNXS

1. Razor = Merkur Long Handle. Elegant and easy to use, works well for me.
   
2. Soap, Cup, and Brush = Gentleman's Hangar. Soap is lavender and lathers very well. Brush is synthetic and works nicely.
   
3. Blades = Feather. Shaves like the samurai they were designed for.

Oh cool generic bad-faith insults that make it obvious you've never glanced at my post history.

Saying "its gross to equate conditions in America and in North Korea" makes you a trumper now I guess.

oh btw Make sure to order these before the weekend

Buy a safety razor instead.

I personally recommend this one: http://amzn.com/B002RBF1PO.

I've had it for around a year now and it does a better job of shaving than any electric razor or mass produced razor I've ever used.

PLUS, it's a heck of a lot cheaper since you can buy the blades in bulk (http://amzn.com/B00AGG3MNU)
