dshack Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 badgerandblade.com. Somewhat like bomber in that it's a online community of people intent on supporting a niche hobby. I've been doing it for a few months now, and it's infinitely more pleasant than a 3-blade or (ugh!) an electric razor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I've heard of this. I can't imagine it being anything but razorburn central... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshack Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 You'd be surprised. Normal razors are designed so that they pull hairs out of their follicles before cutting them, which irritates the skin. Also, with 3+ blades, all but the first one are cutting with almost no lubrication. With a straight or double razor, you lubricate every pass, and don't pull the hair. Especially on my neck, it's a hell of a lot more comfortable than disposables. should explain things pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C5 Golfer Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Never have used an electric razor.. I watched an old John Wayne movie the other day = Rio Bravo with Walter Brennan and Angie Dickinson. There is a part in there where the beautiful Angie Dickinson - Feathers - is shaving Dean Martin with a straight razor. What a thrill it would be to have a 30ish Angie Dickinson shaving me, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack M Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Don't be a retrogrouch. I was using a 2-blader until I got a free Gillette Fusion (5 blades) in the mail. Closest and most comfortable shave I've ever had by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I started shaving with a safety razor about 15 years ago on the recomendation of our flight surgeon (Navy) I switched to a brush and soap about 8 years ago during the aftermath of Super Typhoon Paka (no water or power for a few weeks). Razor burn is not a problem at all especially with a good soap. I do have a favorite blade for my safety razor but that stems from which blade I've been nicked with the least. I plan on switching to a straight razor when I retire from the Navy (I spend to much overseas right to carry one around in my luggage). Shaving with a straight razor is very fun...scare the hell out of my wife too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willywhit Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 My razor has 17 blades and runs on 4 D batteries. My beard is just that tough to control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I've got an old two blade - the blades are cheaper. I've had no problem with razor burn, but it doesnt shave that closely. I also got one of the 5 blade razors in the mail, and it worked great - but I was too cheap to go buy new blades until I at least run out of the old one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
