Comment on Hidden razor blades

It’s expensive up front, but I switched to a leaf razor years ago i just had buy a new pack of 100 razors for 19 bucks. I use 3 at a time, but they last a long time.
They last a long time, are cheaper, I get a better shave (especially since moving to a puck and horsehair brush), and I don’t generate nearly any plastic trash.
I can’t recommend moving over enough.
I use muhle’s open comb head with feather blades.
Can’t go back to cartridge shavers.
(And for the love of all that is holy people, dump the goop. TOBS cream, or even the expensive French soaps like Martin D’Candre are less expensive per shave and just better.)
Agreed on the feather blades, they make some awesome razors.
I tried a leaf razor but just couldn’t seem to like it. Switched back to my normal safety razor
Interesting…what do you think is better about the safety razor? I could never really get the hang of them.
Cost and quality
Mainly the amount of control I have. Disposable and leaf razors don’t seem as versatile regarding things like angle

If your beard looked as bad as mine, you’d continue to shave too lol

This is true, I had a terrible beard for decades, then I picked up an injury and couldn’t stand up long enough to shave for 3 months. :(
Kept it after that! I earned it! ;)

Oh, I went full Jesus during the pandemic, with long hair and let my beard grow out. . .and it just never made up for the fact that I have literal bald patches throughout it. . .I almost needed a comb over on my beard it was so pathetic.
That, and I have seborrheic dermatitis, and growing a beard makes it flair up and it seems the only way to get rid of it is for me to shave when it happens. And then I just have a red face which is no good.
Better for me to just stay clean shaven. lol
