Double edge razor, seriously. /r/wicked_edge will have some info, but they can also be a little pretentious.

I read info from that subreddit, then bought this http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Safety-Razor-Model-LP1822L/dp/B004N77JVY

You don't need all the fancy stuff wicked edge suggests, though it would be nice. Ever since I started shaving with a DE razor, I haven't had any razor bumps or ingrown hairs.

u/2Cuil4School · 9 pointsr/wicked_edge

Mine involves some leg-work, but I think it's quite do-able.

$9 "Shea Moisture Shave" Brush from Target - No link to the actual thing, but most regional Targets stock it. It's Pure Badger, generally has a relatively light funk, and is quite soft. Lathers decent.

$1.50 - Plain witch hazel from Walmart. About 15% alcohol, not too much sting, and noticeably cheaper than an alum block from online

$1.50 - Styptic pencil from Walmart or a drugstore.

$5.50 - Nivea Soothing Aftershave Balm for Sensitive Skin from Walmart; cool and refreshing on the skin; moisturizes well.

$10 - C.O. Bigelow's Eucalpytus and Menthol Shave Cream from Bath & Bodyworks - Lathers well with a little work, feels cool and tingly, provides good lubrication for an entry-level product.

$13 - Lord L6 Safety Razor from Amazon - Cheap, decent Merkur-alike that's supposed to be relatively mild and a good introduction to double edged razors in general.

$8 - 18-blade sampler from Amazon - 9 different styles with two apiece, wrapped up nice and safe and sold cheap. Missing Feathers, but it's still a good 2 months' worth of daily shaves for 8 bucks, ya know?

-------

$48.50 - Grand total, assuming you're willing to hit Target, Bath & Bodyworks and Walmart along with your online shopping. Heck, if you want to get Free Super Saver Shipping on it, skip the B&BW Bigelows cream and get Proraso on Amazon instead for $11. You'll bring your total up to $49.50, but the Amazon portion will account for $32, which is more than enough to pass the $25 barrier; still leaves about $17.50 worth of "in-town" shopping to do.

u/lgbtqbbq · 5 pointsr/abdiscussion

This Lord one is basic and great. For me I haven't noticed big differences among the razors themselves at a low price point (can't speak for the more expensive ones) but the blades themselves make a difference. Good sample pack for blades that I worked through over the course of like 2 years (mama don't shave that often..)

I have to say my favorites were the Feather, BUT I just resumed DE shaving this month and got a big pack of the Feather blades alone and they were incredibly aggressive- I think I'm not used to the angle of shave anymore, so I should've started with a sample pack again. The Derby ones were what I "learned" on and then graduated to Feather and liked those, but I think it was with the experience points I'd gathered ;)

u/Dang_Yankee · 5 pointsr/headphones

The best budget beginner razor

Some good soap

A good brush

Total: about $25

This is what i started with and it works like a charm... would recommend feather blades over lord but that's just my opinion.

u/arbarnes · 5 pointsr/wicked_edge

A vintage Lady Gillette sounds right up your alley! You'll have to hunt for one, though - production ended almost 40 years ago. /r/shave-bazaar is a good place to find vintage razors, as is the buy-sell-trade board at Badger & Blade. And who knows - maybe your local antiques store will have one in perfect condition for a couple of bucks.

Another good vintage option is the long-handled Gillette Super Adjustable. They're a little easier to find.

Current production razors to consider are the Merkur 28c and Lord L6.

All of the above are long-handled razors. Many women prefer them for the extra reach they provide. If you're comfortable using a shorter-handled razor, lots of other options are available.

u/Ad_Retie_i_Ouzo · 4 pointsr/Suomi

Tulihan se sieltä osa 2 sieltä, tosin vähän myöhemmin kuin lupasin. Tarkoituksena oli toimittaa tämä joululahjana mutta motivaatio oli alhaalla minkä lisäksi sairastuin jouluaattona mikä vei viimeisetkin kirjoitusfiilikset. Vuodenvaihde kuitenkin lähenee uhkaavasti joten otin itsestäni niskalenkin ja sain kuin sainkin jotain aikaiseksi. Jotkin osiot jäivät aika lyhyiksi ja ehkä hivenen vajavaisiksi. Ajotekniikassa on jotain mitä on vaikea selittää ja kuvailla yksityiskohtaisesti mutta tämä saattaa olla helpompaa kuvamateriaalin avulla Wikikirjastossa. Wikikirjastoon laittaminen ja sen tarvitsemat muotoilut ja muutokset saavat kuitenkin jäädä ensi vuoteen. ärSuomen wikiin nämä saa kuitenkin minun puolestani laittaa vaikka heti.

___

Kokeilin ennen joulua ensimmäisen kerran Arko-saippuatikkua ja on muuten hyvää tavaraa. Vaahtoaa todella helposti, toimii hyvin ja on erittäin halpaa. En voi kuin suositella. Ja jos tuoksu ei miellytä niin voi käyttää käsi- ja suihkusaippuana (hyvä vinkki muillekin koville saippuoille). Tuulettaminen huoneilmassa ilman paperipakkausta kuulemma auttaa tuoksun haihtumisessa mutta koska tuoksu on mielestäni ihan ok niin jätän tämän niksin kokeilematta.

Vietin joulun Turkkusessa ja kas kummaa, paikallisen Deli Market -nimisen etnokaupan hyllyltä löytyi egyptiläistä Lord-partavoidetta. Tämä on ensimmäinen kokemukseni partavoiteesta ja vaahtoavuudeltaan ja toimivuudeltaan se on kyllä ihan hyvä. Mentoolin viilennysvaikutus on tosin näin Prorason vihreään tottuneelle aika olematon eikä tuoksukaan ole mitenkään erikoinen (mitä nyt tukkoisella nenällä olen pystynyt nuuhkimaan). Hintaa tuolle 55 gramman tuubille kertyi muistaakseni yli kolme euroa (tarkkaa hintaa en muista) mikä lienee suomalaiselle kaupalle ihan ok.

Kassan vieressä roikkui myös Lord-merkkisiä partahöyliä mutta en nähnyt hintaa tai tarkempaa merkkiä. Oletan että kyseessä on Lord L6 joka on Amazon-arvostelujen perusteella hyväksi haukuttu. Joten jos täällä on Turkulaisia tai muuten siellä päin liikkuvia niin Deli Marketista voi saada sutia lukuun ottamatta ihan kohtalaisen aloituspakkauksen. Höylien vieressä oli muistaakseni myös partateriä, merkkiä en nähnyt, mutta Lord lienee hyvä veikkaus tämän suhteen.

Yllätyin iloisesti että perinteistä parranajotavaraa saa Suomessa edes jostain kivijalkaliikkeestä. Veikkaisin että Helsingistä ja muistakin isommista kaupungeista saattaisi löytyä jotain vastaavaa. Jos teette löytöjä niin ilmoittakaa niistä ihmeessä täällä.

u/kinganti · 4 pointsr/wicked_edge

The lowest cost option is the Lord L6 at $12.75 but I have to disclose that this is a razor that will require replacement eventually as it's known to break over time.

Then there's the Edwin Jagger DE8x series. They all have the same head, but the differences in prices reflect the difference in the handles. I bought mine at the link I provided, and it was ~$36 and took 6 days to be shipped from England to California. This razor is high enough quality, it will last a lifetime.

The next bump up in both quality and price would have to go to either the Weber ARC, or the Weber DLC. both are $70, and solid stainless steel. Razors of similar quality and materials normally sell for twice that much. Great value. and... great razors! Our resident expert Leisureguy says his ARC gives him his best shave of any of his razors.

u/Greyzer · 4 pointsr/wicked_edge

You need a Razor $12,75.

A Brush $2,45

Shaving Cream $2,49

Blades: I'd recommend you try Astra SP $1,04, Derby $1, Shark SS $0,85 and Perma Sharp $1,15.

That's $21,73 including shipping from Turkey, don't know about shipping costs on the Lord though.

Optional extra's:

Alum $2,50, highly recommended!

Shaving Soap $1,95

They also have Bowls but you can just use a big cappucino mug or soup bowl.

I'm assuming you already have Aftershave. I'd recommend a balm when starting out to sooth rough shaves. Nivea Sensitive Balm is locally available around $5.

u/I_am_Prosciutto · 4 pointsr/wicked_edge

I use a [Lord safety razor] (http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Safety-Razor-Model-LP1822L/dp/B004N77JVY) and it works pretty well.

u/[deleted] · 4 pointsr/wicked_edge

Most consider the Weishi to be a sub-par razor. I haven't tried one, so I can't comment. For the same price, you could get the Lord L6.

I'm sure those soaps are fine, but that alum block is overpriced. I believe all true alum blocks are the same, though I'm not certain.

A full list of recommendations is available here.

u/BoremUT · 3 pointsr/wicked_edge

Yeah, I would say anything you've got there would be good except the Edwin Jagger's that you have listed. There is a ladies version of the Edwin Jagger model DE89bl on Amazon that might be a little better because of the handle length for shaving legs (3.8" mens vs. 4.1" women's - not much of a difference, but may be more comfortable to hold). And if you want to go super budget, the Lord razors are supposed to be pretty decent for the price point.

u/thelonelyboner · 3 pointsr/bodybuilding

I bought a cheap kit to get started about a year and a half ago and it's still working well. I want to upgrade to a straight razor which costs more upfront but you never need to buy blades again (just sharpen before use)

I'd say this is a good starter kit though, it's what I bought:
http://www.amazon.com/Van-Hagen-Mens-Luxury-Shave/dp/B004L4EING/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415040428&sr=8-1&keywords=safety+razor+kit

http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Safety-Razor-Model-LP1822L/dp/B004N77JVY/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1415040506&sr=1-1&keywords=lord+safety+razor

http://www.amazon.com/Double-Safety-Razor-Blades-Platinum/dp/B001VTRGGK/ref=pd_sim_hpc_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1D844MJWW2C4S8HXCGTZ

You can spend less on the soap kit, and get one for $9 or so to start off.

u/castillar · 3 pointsr/Shave_Bazaar

In that price range, you could pick up a Lord L6 online, if you don't already have one. It's a surprisingly good razor, especially at that price point.

u/Sgt_ZigZag · 3 pointsr/wicked_edge

That's a Lord L6. It's my first and only DE razor. No complaints but I'm thinking of picking up a slant or adjustable next as I'd like something a bit more aggressive. It's a light razor because the handle is Aluminum so check your pressure when you use it.

u/hemifieldsofgreen · 2 pointsr/malefashionadvice

Double edged razors are a great way to start. You could get a Lord L6 as your basic starter, or an Edwin Jagger DE 89. You can also get a Merkur.

u/Leisureguy · 2 pointsr/wicked_edge

The Weber would be a terrific starting razor. It's not recommended simply because of the cost: novices often want to keep their investment to a minimum until they are sure they'll stick with it. The EJ DE8x razors are the lowest priced "lifetime" razor---one that you won't have to replace once you get going---and the head is better than that of the Merkur Classic line (example: the Merkur 180).

In the next edition, I'll list beginner razor recommendations for:

  • Money is not an issue: the ARC Weber
  • A good intro but mind the cost: one of the Edwin Jagger DE8x series (or the Mühle equivalents)
  • Cost minimization is the main criterion: the Lord L6 at $12.75 or, even better, this all-metal lightweight razor at $6.72

    The problem with the razors in the last category is that they are stop-gap solutions that will eventually have to be replaced. The benefit is that the novice can try out traditional wetshaving at a low cost.
u/Craig · 2 pointsr/wicked_edge

OP, I have one of the lady gillette and I like it quite a bit, but it is definitely more aggressive (for me, at least) than the new Lord L6 that I got from Amazon.

If I were inclined towards shaving my manly bikini area, I would absolutely reach for the L6.

u/mr1337 · 2 pointsr/Frugal

A good double-edge safety razor, blade sampler pack, shaving brush, and shaving soap can free the both of you from expensive cartridge razors and canned goo. It could take you a little bit to learn how to shave the "old fashioned" way, but as someone who recently took the plunge, it's worth it. Gives a much better shave for a fraction of the cost. (Replacement blades are usually $0.07 - $0.30 each)

If you have hard water, you may want to go with a shaving cream instead, or you could get a gallon of distilled water for $1 that will last you through about a month's worth of shaves.

Shameless plug for /r/wicked_edge. There are a lot of resources there to help you transition.

[edit] Here's a cheaper alternate razor - this is what I have. You can get them even cheaper if you want to wait a few weeks.

u/NoHelmet · 2 pointsr/pics

Looks like a Lord L6 from the photos. Not known to be a great shaver, but some guys like it. Also, his blade angle is atrocious.

u/xMythx · 2 pointsr/wicked_edge
u/OneLegAtATime · 2 pointsr/TheVeneration

Album

I've mentioned this setup at some point here, but now with pictures! I'm sick and working from home today, so I need something to get my mind off of this grant writing.

Shave:

  • Lord L6, Astra SP blades. Razor is $9 on amazon. Blades are 20 cents a pop if bought in small batches, or 10 cents a pop if bought in larger quantities. each blade lasts me 2-3 shaves.
  • Arko (less than 5 bucks for a 2-pack).
  • Razorock alum $7
  • Ecotools makeup brush - cheap, synthetic 2-pack from amazon

    Probably one of the cheapest full shave kits you can buy. The single Arko stick has lasted me 2 years so far, and I anticipate it will last another 3-4 until it becomes a mushy pile. Arko works really well with the extremely hard water we get in southern california.

    I only shave 2-3 times a week, and lathering straight onto the face reduces the amount of soap wasted. First thing I would upgrade is the brush, followed by a search for an aftershave after the alum.

    I would highly recommend the Lord. Some people seem to have longevity issues with the aluminum handle screwing into the heavier-metal head, but as long as you don't force it you won't strip the threads. Supposed to shave like a Merkur for a fraction of the cost.

    Coffee:

  • Aeropress (inverted)
  • Porlex mini grinder
  • Burundi beans, lighter roast.

    Not my favorite roast, but probably my favorite extraction process (I also own turkish coffee, french press, moka pot, vacuum pot/siphon). Inverted, it acts like a french press with a paper filter. Of course, it also means you have a foot-tall precarious boiling-water hazard, which has been an issue some drowsy mornings.
u/lesarahpin · 2 pointsr/AsianBeauty

So: I normally use a DE razor like this one because I'm too cheap for cartridge razors. (DE blades are about USD$10-for-100.) Cleaning's kind of a non-issue for these, since there isn't really any way to gunk them up, and if you did somehow manage it (using elf magic, possibly), you could just disassemble the head.

I used to use single-blade cartridge/disposable razors, and I never found it to be an issue with those as long as I used a light oil and rinsed well. Stuff like castor oil or olive oil, however, definitely caused problems.

But I can't really answer this for multi-blades. My guess is that you're most likely to run into a problem with the kind of head that has a lubricant strip, since those can kind of dissolve upon contact with oil?

u/wetshaver · 2 pointsr/wicked_edge

It is not the best handle. It's aluminum, but the head is identical to a Merkur.

Here's a link: Lord L6

u/lord_of_vader · 2 pointsr/wicked_edge

I would suggest, for budget's sake, a Van Der Hagen Deluxe kit and a Lord L6. I personally use these and would put them up to any other piece of equipment I own.

u/z33tec · 2 pointsr/wicked_edge

Here is a starter kit that I highly recommend and am currently enjoying:

Solve your problem with one of these.

u/juhesihcaaa · 2 pointsr/AskWomen

I use a double sided safety razor. A pack of 100 blades is like $10 on Amazon (these). The actual razor was $10 (this one). My husband and I use a pack of blades in about 10 months with each of us getting one shave out of each side of the blade. There is a learning curve to using it but I get zero razor burn, I never cut myself shaving anymore, and it's a smoother shave. I use Cremo for shaving cream and that size lasts about 6 months for me.

I spend about $15 a year for shaving stuff and I get a better shave than multi-bladed razors.

u/iamwhoiamnow · 1 pointr/wicked_edge

I am female and I recently started using a DE, I bought this one from Amazon because the price was right and I have seen it recommended on this sub. I didn't want to spend too much money at first. I got a small (20?) sampler of razors and this shaving cream because I didn't want to buy a bowl and a brush and mess with it.

I don't know anything about the specific products you recommended but what I have is working for me.

u/GCS_3 · 1 pointr/explainlikeimfive

Dude for about 33 bucks you can get a safety razor with soap kit and 100 blades. After that a pack of 100 blades will cost you 10 bucks (good for 400 shaves)

u/Mainecat · 1 pointr/frugalmalefashion

Lord double edged safety razor. It's nothing glamorous but combined with good blades it gives a nice shave.

u/montanasucks · 1 pointr/wicked_edge

The razor is a Lord L6 and the stand is a Colonel Ichabod Conk.

The brush and mug were purchased from the local Farmer's Market from a nice lady who makes homemade soaps. The soap is a disc in the mug and it is amazing. It is Bay Rum scent made with all sorts of oils and since I started using it over shave gel to shave with I have no razor burn or irritation. I am excited to do my first wet shave tomorrow!

Also, not pictured is my Pre-shave Oil, Blade Sampler, and Styptic Pencil

u/engineeringChaos · 1 pointr/MLPLounge

I'd go with a nice DE razor.

Apparently better than cartridge razors.

u/HeyRememberThatTime · 1 pointr/wicked_edge

You should be able to find a decent Gillette Super Speed on eBay for around about the $15 mark -- or much less if you're willing to try your luck antiquing and flea marketing.

The Lord L5 and L6 are the only modern made razors worth anything at that price point. The L5 is basically a carbon copy of the later Gillette Tech head, and the L6 is more or less based on the Merkur 180.

If you're willing to go up to the $35-$40 mark, the Edwin Jagger DE8x family is a no-brainer. Actually, I just checked and Amazon's got the DE89 right now for $29 shipped, which is a great deal.

If you'd rather stay vintage and don't have any luck finding anything on your own, shoot me a PM and I can definitely get you set up.

u/Kind_Of_A_Dick · 1 pointr/wicked_edge

I've just recently, like within the two weeks, started using a DE as opposed to buying disposables. I picked this up as kind of an intro to shaving this way. I would say that so far it's much more satisfying, with one notable exception. The first time I shaved with it I was so unused as to how to hold it, how much pressure to apply, how many passes, etc..., that I sliced off a small bit of flesh at the corners of my mouth.
That being said, all the reviews I've seen place Feather as a blade you really need experience to use. That actually kind of scares me because if they are as sharp as I've heard I am not going anywhere near one until I'm a pro

u/lexianne · 1 pointr/wicked_edge

This is the razor I use currently. It's pretty well-weighted, and I don't have any problems with it unless I'm having a bad day. In which case I just don't shave lol.

The blade that came with it sucked, but that's to be expected. I use Wilkinson Swords. Mostly because they work and are only $20/100.

I've had it for 2 years, and take a little bit of care of my razors, but not much. I dry it after I'm through, but keep it in the bathroom. Zero rust, or chrome chipping.

I'm a woman, and I use it all over my body.

u/jlking3 · 1 pointr/wicked_edge

I found this Lord razor at a Navarro pharmacy 2 years ago for $4. Haven't looked back.

u/AlizabSeri · 1 pointr/wicked_edge

Lord L6 is a great cheap safety razor at $12. I think the blades that come in this pack are right up there with any other blade I've sampled. Although in full transparency, I've never bought one of those huge 100 blade sampler packs.

I got my brush at a local grocery store selling artisan brushes from a nearby soap company. I also used that company's soap, but I really think Proraso is a luxurious cream. Bonus tip, you can just apply some of the cream to your face and work it in with the brush instead of working with a bowl or your hand if you are impatient like me.

Lastly, just choose any one of these Thayers products for an aftershave. It all works the same and burns less than alum. Or at the very least, when you are learning it will burn less as you figure out your angle on the blade and prevent shaving burn, nicks, and cuts.

All together, you can be up and running with wet shaving for less than $50 dollars. There are so many wonderful artisan options for soaps and aftershaves, as Leisureguy has clearly outlined; however, you will rack up quite a bill very quickly. /r/Wicked_Edge has demonstrated how quickly a routine part of your day can turn into an expensive obsession.


So remember, shaving is shaving. We all do it for the same reason.

u/wolever · 1 pointr/wicked_edge

I don't know exactly how constrained your budget is, but I've been using a $13 Lord DE for a few months now, and I've been very happy with it.

u/wicked_VD · 1 pointr/wicked_edge

Here's a relatively inexpensive kit to get you started with traditional wet shaving. If you're willing to spend more put it towards a better razor, like an Edwin Jagger DE8x series. Let me know if you have questions and enjoy your first wet shave.

Lord L6 DE razor - $12.75

Blade Sampler - $10

Omega brush and soap - $20

u/almightywhacko · 1 pointr/wicked_edge

$20 is approaching the price of some Merkur and Parker razors, all of which would be worth shaving with. In the $10-20 range are razors like the Lord6, Concord and Feather Popular all of which are great shavers especially for the price however their construction isn't as solid as some more expensive razors.

u/Dubaya · 1 pointr/wicked_edge

you can get a starter de for under $20.

here are some common starter de's for under $20.

Lord l6

Weishi tto

you didnt mention it but you will probably also want a brush if you dont have one already.

u/GeneralKinetics · 1 pointr/wicked_edge

You're welcome. The Omega line of boar brushes are pretty fantastic. Cheap badger brushes aren't worth it. If you're looking on Amazon, I would suggest the Omega 98 for $15.00 on Prime. Any of the Proraso soaps in the jars for $9-10 on Prime, http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Safety-Razor-Model-LP1822L/dp/B004N77JVY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417932223&sr=8-1&keywords=lord+l6 Also on Prime and uber cheap. Pretty much the same head as the DE89. For Blades, I would suggest the TryaBlade path and get him a sampler of well-known and popular blades. I can make you a good list if you want.

I'm not a fan of normal aftershave splashes because they're just alcohol and fragrance. I would rather use something on my face that's going to benefit with medical and health properties. I love witch hazel mixed with pure aloe. You can even add some essential oils to it to give it some fragrance.
For Pre-Shave Oil, you can literally just slather extra virgin olive oil on your face, or use Noxzema in the 12oz tub for pre-shave cream.

Believe me, I would rather study about traditional wetshaving than what I'm actually studying in college.

If you're confident that your Dad will stick to DE shaving and fall in love with it. I would suggest getting him the EJ DE89. They're insanely cheap on Amazon Prime right now.
http://www.amazon.com/Edwin-Jagger-DE89bl-Chrome-Plated/dp/B003LW4L2W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417932514&sr=8-2&keywords=Edwin+Jagger+de89
The quality is way above that Lord with basically the same head. Same geometry, same aggressiveness(unbelievably mild).

u/pianomansam · 1 pointr/wicked_edge

I wondered the same thing, and have found the following:

  • Razor: Online. Use sidebar links for ideas. For example, Lord L6.

  • Blades: Don't trust anything you see locally. Get a sampler pack online.

  • Brushes: Target Shea Moisture Shave Brush, maybe Walmart for Van Der Hagen Shave Brush/Set.

  • Shaving Cream: CO Bigelow at Bath & Body Works.

  • Shaving Soap: Williams Mug Soap (YMMV) Walmart, Target, Meijer, Kroger, or any local drug store (CVS, Walgreens, etc).

  • Old school aftershave products: Walmart, Target, Meijer, Kroger, or any local drug store.

  • Bowl/Cup: Thrift store or your kitchen cabinet.
u/ferrarisnowday · 1 pointr/AskReddit

>Its a little more than that

Just want to recommend the Lord L6. It's just $12.75 and is eligible for free super saver shipping from time to time.

u/Noyes654 · 1 pointr/wicked_edge

I got my first taste by going to the local pharmacy store, picking up the VDH Starter Kit, a Styptic pencil, some Shave Secret, and bag of two blade disposables. After about a week, I went back and got aftershave lotion and went to Bath&Body Works and got some C.O. Bigelow.

Just last week I finally decided to take the next step and I ordered a basic Lord DE, Blade sampler, and a nicer Brush. I can't wait for this all to come in. giddy

u/oniongasm · 1 pointr/shaving

Back when I was living at home I snagged the promo Fusion my dad got in the mail. I was still in the early stages of shaving, where it was uncommon enough that I didn't really care how good it was. Six months or so ago I went back and tried my old Mach3 and it's just plain a better shave for me.

That said I just switched to a safety razor yesterday. Shaving was incredibly smooth, though my skin is a bit dryer (not sure if that's the razor or the change from cream to soap without a moisturizer). I know a lot of people swear by safety razors, though I haven't had enough experience to make that sort of judgment. I do enjoy it so far, though.

u/Overslept · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

I read other posters here claim that a thin coat of vaseline helped lock in moisture, if it doesn't, oh well. The tube was $4 and can be used.. other ways.

In response to your question: I am still learning. I probably take way longer than necessary and my technique could be improved, but even my sloppiest wet shave looked 10x better than any shave my electric razor ever gave me. You can pick up this razor and this kit for around $20 shipped.

u/coldashes · 1 pointr/wicked_edge

If you do piece it together yourself, you can get one of these for $9-12.

Mine has been used at least 150X between my husband and myself and hasn't broke down yet.

u/killerstorm · 0 pointsr/news

You can get a razor for $10, actually. Maybe not the best quality, but one reviewer on Amazon says "This is absolutely the best modern production (i.e. not vintage Gillette) double edge safety razor available for the price.", so not too bad, I guess.

u/cantrellee · 0 pointsr/wicked_edge

I can't speak to the quality of the razor but otherwise the other kit works. If you are looking at aftershave there are plenty of local options I would imagine as well as more online. For a cheaper razor I would look at razors by Lord. This is an example. Remember that you get what you pay for with new razors (vintage is a different story). Also, do get a styptic pencil for when you nick yourself. They are relatively inexpensive here. A good cheap entry level razor is the feather popular. What should be remembered is that these cheap razors are generally less aggressive which is good when you start, but may become undesirable once you gain control. I recommend the 89 and 34C because they are lower mid level aggressive while not breaking the bank wide open. The sampler pack looks decent. Best luck shaving! Feel free to ask any more questions here.
