I bought a "shave kit" on line a couple years ago. Included 2 tins shaving soap, 100 safety blades, handle and gravel case. Since I only shave 3 nights a week I'm in good shape.

DE razor blades can be used as little or as many times as you want. Usually when they start pulling you toss them. I want a consistant shave so I toss them after 1 shave. They are dirt cheap. Feather is the sharpest. I have some and use them when I have significant beard growth going on. People usually do under 10 shaves per blade but I have read some people use one blade for over a month.

Quick hone on a razor is to pull it backwards down a mirror

I enjoy making myself presentable to the world every morning. YMMV. :king:

Our version of presentable may differ. The world can pucker up in mine :lol: I'd expect nothing less than a clean shave and tidy appearance from you

My goodness that was a sexy video ! Machinery is so damn cool and that brand blade is a good one


When I was out of the Navy , I promised myself to not shave as much . I shave every 3 days , more or less . I hate the feeling if it goes past three days . Hell ,I hate a day or two but I tolerate it . Ive tried pretty much everything over the years and Im sold on DE for some time . Took me a few brands to find the best all around blade , which for me is Bic Chrome Platinum .

Made by Greeks . I dont know what it is about their blade ... edge angle , steel , coating , correct sharpness , all those combined ? They must be made in the oracle of Delphis lair
