I’m a young guy, only 19… but since i started shaving with a straight razor, i have less and less irritation the more i shave.
Once you get the hang of the movement and the alignement, nothing will shave as smooth

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.

Xtreme 3 from schick, competitive price, the job is done, and each one last a lot of time.

Safety is best, disposable is worst

For most black men, they use the trimmers such as Andis T-outliner because of the curly and wiry hair and also their skin is so sensitive and they have coarse thick heavy hair. They afraid to use the razor blades even with one blade on their faces because they can give razor bumps and ingrown hairs. The trimmers cut the hair but not close enough to get a smooth face. For me personally, I use the norelco oneblade trimmer and the bump free electric shaver such as andis and wahl. It’s very important to use electric shaver that is bump free because depending on the brand and the power electric razors can sometimes give bumps. Don’t use super close foil wahl because it can sometimes cause irritation. Use sensitive foil head wahl brand. After I shave, I use the tweezer to pluck the hair out of my face.

The kind of razor I’m looking for is one with long lasting blades, can’t cut me and roast proof it doesn’t matter if it can do close shaves dose anyone know any razors like that?

Video Summary:
0:44 – Straight Razor
1:37 – Cartridge Razor
5:14 – Safety Razor
6:39 – Disposable Razor
7:42 – Electric Razor

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.

I just use disposable razors and don’t dispose them, never had a problem

The movie is great but you don’t need to exaggerate about how long it takes to learn how to use a straight razor. I became decent with one in about 2 weeks.
That said, they are easy to learn but hard to master. And they are absolutely worth it. Though gun to my head, safety razor is the best. It provides the closeness of a straight with easier technique.

I use the safety razor. Had all types. Dollar shave club razors to philips electric razor which broke on me and now it’s just there. To me I get the best shave ever with my safety razor

My favorite razor is an old style straight blade… I actually own a straight razor that requires replacement of the single blade which is convenient so no sharpening. Excellent for comfort and minimal razor rash and a close shave that lasts at least 2days. I have very coarse /thick facial hair and with a second pass I find myself with a baby face. I’ve tried an electric razor in the past that I didn’t really care for… May have been because of the quality… however, I did purchase mid-grade electric razor not a high end… am thinking of trying a higher end electric razor for faster convenience but am afraid of razor rash or irritation

I’m someone that always gets irritation after shaving. Thankfully I have barely any facial hair and can shave every 2nd or 3rd day and appear clean shaven.
After watching this video I am considering trying a safety razor. I’ve been through nearly every cartridge razor around and can’t seem to get my face ingrown free.

As a young black man,(although I haven’t shaved my beard in over a year)here is my ranking…
5.Straight Razor-Too much irrational and ingrown hairs.
4.Safety Razor-Never used it.
3.Cartridge Razor-It’s okay but kinda expensive…
2.Disposable Razor-This is my angel through out high school(I started shaving at 15)
1.Electric Razor-THE BEST!!!

I used the Micro Touch 3: http://a.co/2ruHZra

I’ve tried everything, electric, safety, many different cartridge, all but cut-throat blade.

Micro Touch 3 advertises a month’s worth of shaves per blade, so, supposed to get a year out of the 12 in their “kit”.

I sometimes get as long as 5 or 6 weeks out of a single cartridge, so, they do seem to work best for me from all that I’ve tried up till now.

Safety blades did a great job, but, I butchered myself pretty often. Just couldn’t get the technique down, I guess.

De razors over all.
