Introduction To Single Blade Shaving (Pt. 1)

I'm starting to obtain the philosophy of "Old things working better than new ones"

nice to see someone explaining the science part of shaving, which would you say is the gentlest razor in your experience? (least aggressive) thanks for all your vidz...unique!

Glivity- For me Weishi razors and vintage blue-tipped Gillette Superspeeds are the gentlest

thanx alot 4 your reply, i'll make a note for my next purchase

man talkin bout shavin is like talkin bout politics everyone has a say in it lol

karnaf - The Azor is not available in most of the US yet.

I currently use The 'Art of Shaving' brand shave cream w/ a badger hair brush. The stuff is a little expensive but I like it for its rich texture and smooth performance.I also use Everyman Jack Shaving Cream (w/out using a brush) which you can get for about $6 at Target. Good cheap alternative to the more expensive stuff I use. I always use a shave oil before I shave. Currently I use a Merkur D.E. safety razor and Wilkinson Sword blades. The Wilkinson blades are very sharp and hold their edge.

WOW! I mean all this sounds fine and good but way too much work. I have to master using this thing before I can get a close shave? Why?

I don't like the Mach 3, fusion, etc, etc, crap either but at least anybody can pick one up out of the box and get a super smooth super close shave, super fast. Who wants to go through all this trouble just to shave?

When I switched from cartridge Mach 3 razor to DE safety razor I definitely noticed an improvement in facial skin quality. When I use a regular razor now, it feels like the blade is just scraping the hair of my face. More of a passive shave. I do have a beard that is industrial sandpaper strength though.

Then you should get the 'Azor' from the 'king of shaves'
