they know i self harm (and i don’t have a razor, so it wasn’t for shaving). i know it was supposed to be a joke but… damn.
edit: thank you guys for looking out for me, just wanted to clarify i’m not being abused lmao they just thought it would be funny ig? idk, it didn’t sit right with me but it’s whatever.
Hey everyone, I'm looking for a little guidance.
I use an old style safety razor, the kind where you put in a single blade that is all steel. Since there is nothing to the blades but steel they should be recyclable but I'm not about to toss a loose razor blade into the recycling bin. I asked someone at the City recycling center what to do with them and he didn't really know what I was talking about and couldn't give me much direction.
Does anyone here know if there is a safe way to recycle these things?
Curious to know what everyone’s favorite/go to hardware combo(s) is/are as so many are posted on here.
Personally my go to is a Muhle R41 with either a Gillette Wilkinson Sword Saloon Pack or a King C Gillette blade in there. Either tames the beast or makes it lively but smoothly.
I went out and I bought them impulsively, I’m scared to use them
edit: I’ve already sh’d in the past but they were scratches or small cuts with blades I’d found around and they were A LOT less sharp
I have coarse hair and sensitive skin so I would routinely get razor burn and bad ingrown hairs from conventional razors. Literally the week I started shaving with a safety razor all of that stopped, my skin has never felt better and I actually look forward to shaving now because the process is fun.
There's a bit of a learning curve but it's among the cheapest life changing adjustments I've ever made, I have no clue why they don't tell us about these growing up, it would save so many people years of pain.
My gums are CUT now. Why did I do that?? Why do I feel like your mouth needs to be made of steel to enjoy this delicacy??
I'm about 7 months into my safety razor shaving and I changed my blade two shaves ago. Thing is, with this blade I am cutting the heck out of my face. I've changed nothing and I'm unsure what I'm doing differently. Is it possible I've just got a bad blade? I've been using the same blades and this is the first time I've got 5+ cuts each shave.
I usually go 3 shaves per blade as I've got thicker facial hair and I noticed on 4, I start to get a little tugging action going on. Thinking of just ditching this current one and trying a new one.
I’ve been having COVID for a few days and most of my symptoms have gone away, except that my throat just gets more sore everyday. Everytime I swallow my own saliva its feels like I’m swallowing razor blades. I haven’t been able to eat or drink much in 3 days it’s horrible. Does anyone have tips?
In wetshaving there's a lot of different tastes, skins, beards, growth directions, and a bunch of other things that play a big role in the final result, but on thing is really common across the board: A mild razor can produce a really good shaving if it's used with an agressive blade.
So, what's your favorite combo here? At the end, I'll probably pick the most upvoted or common combo here!
Mine is: Gillettte Tech + Feather blade.
