I have a solution.

Double edged safety razor: http://www.amazon.com/Merkur-Model-180-Handled-Safety/dp/B000NL0T1G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1301803036&sr=8-1 I use that one.

Blades: http://www.amazon.com/SHARK-CHROME-DOUBLE-SAFETY-BLADES/dp/B003BWQX46/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1301803078&sr=1-1 I use those at 17 cents a blade, but you can get much cheaper ones too.

This switch has saved me so much money and gives me a better shave. You will also want some shaving soap or cream with a brush. Enjoy

u/Synaesthesiaaa · 50 pointsr/justneckbeardthings

Can't go wrong with 100 blades for $12. Those Gillette devils aren't getting any more of my money.

u/throwaplay · 32 pointsr/malefashionadvice

Ditch the plastic razor and generic shaving cream. You can get an amazing, stubble free, longer lasting shave for way (WAY) cheaper by switching to a double edge razor.

Here is what I recommend:

DE razor: Merkur 37C Slant HD Safety Razor $40

Razor blades: Persona Israeli, Derby, Kai, Shark (100 Pk. $18) or Feathers. $20-$50 100 Pk.

Brush: Any brush from a local pharmacy. $5-$15

Soap: Wilkinson Sword, Proraso, or Williams. $3-$10

Mug: Any coffee mug is fine.

The razor will last you at least two life times, a 100 pack of razor blades should last you a couple of years, ditto for the brush, and the shaving soap will probably last a couple of months. The shave will be godly once you get the hang of it. Make sure to get a good lather and to shave at a slow pace.

I recommend lurking the Badger & Blade forum and watching the videos by mantic59. B&B is the best shaving resource in the Internet and mantic is a shaving god (and also a redditor!)

Once you are more experienced, I recommend getting a good badger shaving brushing and stepping up to the Feather razor blades. These blades can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Treat it with respect.

u/CommanderBunny · 16 pointsr/TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Awesome! All right, here we go.

Razors:

The difference between men and women's razors is that women's have longer handles and a smaller aperture for the blade. Men's usually have a wavy little comb bit that lifts up their thicker beard hair to cut.

The one I personally recommend is the Weishi. It's $17 bucks, and the metal is really light, but I ended up getting used to that fairly quickly. Not a big initial investment and perfectly adequate for my needs.

I see Murker recommended fairly often. I hear they are okay, if overpriced. I personally hated it, lol. They are definitely geared towards beards and did not play nice with my pale little legs.

You could also go for the vintage Lady Gillette. I paid $30 for mine on ebay and it's got a nice long handle, good grip, and nice weighty metal. This was actually my first purchase and I'm still really happy with it. Considering I'm happy with the Weishi, though, I'd probably just repurchase that one if I ever lose mine.

Blades:

Now this one might take some trial and error. Everyone has different hair and different skin and every razor brand shaves a little differently.

A lot of people start off with a multipack to get a feel for the different blades and then narrow it down to brands they like. I think it's a great idea and probably your best bet. I'll still mention my experiences though.

STAY AWAY FROM DORCO. They are bullshit. I'm not a fan of Gillette brand blades either except for the Wilkinson Sword and they're kind of expensive at $20 for 100. Derby is also just okay.

Feather: give the sharpest, closest shave ever. So sharp that you can cut yourself and you won't even notice until the trail of blood starts going down the drain. Great blades, and a ton of people like them, but I found that they dull too quickly for leg real-estate and are too scary sharp for sensitive bits.

Voskhod: Sharp, reliable, lasts through a few shavings. I quite like this one and have repurchased it. They are good, solid razors that gave a decent shave. Good for all-over.

Shark: My favorite at the moment. Comparable to Voskhod except I feel they might give a slightly closer shave and dull a little bit faster. If I had both in the bathroom I would probably choose Shark for the legs and Voskhod for everywhere else.

Astra: Worked adequately. Shave isn't bad or great, just reliable. Worked on the legs but not as good in other places. Wasn't worth a repurchase.

Lord: I think these actually lasted the most shaves out of all of them, at about 4 uses per blade. I think I had the least incidence of cuts with these but the shave wasn't as close as I wanted. My shaves usually last two or three days with the other razors but with this one I was feeling it lasted only 1-2. I think these are literally the opposite of the Feathers in terms of their qualities.

​

M'kay, that's all I can think of for now. I hope this helps!

u/PolarisDiB · 12 pointsr/Frugal

> FYI, I shave probably every other day and get 3-4 shaves out of each blade.

I finally figured out that I can get away with only shaving once a week.

I'm a slow beard-grower and it's mostly a goatee, so by the end of the week I have a nice, attractive, and even stubble like the ones that some men work to get the right balance of. I look best with either that stubble or fully shaved, from there my beard starts getting patchy until it's long, and then when it's long it just poofs out and goes everywhere.

I also can use a blade three times before I need to dispose of it.

SO, a single DE blade lasts me three weeks, which means if I ever get through all these sample blades I bought (I have a favorite so far, Shark Super Chrome), I can buy a pack of 100 for 16.99, that's 17 dollars for 300 weeks...

... in other words, seventeen dollars for six years. In fact, that investment is on a long enough time scale I'm wondering I shouldn't just buy a smaller pack because I don't know what my lifestyle will be like six years from now.

u/LHD91 · 9 pointsr/todayilearned

He is right...

razors = 11 cents

They do last anywhere between 2-5 shaves. The reason its less irritating is because you are not putting so much pressure on your face. This creates more of a "cut" rather than a "pull"

yea, the razor costs $20 bucks and maybe $10 for a brush, but after that, you can go on your merry way.

u/DONT_AMAZE_ME_BRO · 5 pointsr/ZeroWaste

Guy here

you want the best shaving cream with the least waste?

Go this route

Shaving Soap

Shaving soap container

Safety Razor it will last you a lifetime and its nothing to be feared. You wont cut yourself if you always shave down and never side to side

almost a lifetime of razors for $9

follow that up with one of these holders

and the shaving brush

I have to buy new soap every so often but after the initial investment you will only ever pay pennies for each shave

u/Shadowhawk109 · 5 pointsr/lego

As a guy who "made the switch"; do it and thank us later. Multi-bladed cartridges are EXPENSIVE, as opposed to the blades for a safety razor.

Here's 100 blades for roughly the price of 1 cartridge.

Switching blades out more frequently will help reduce the amount of bacteria buildup from face oils and the like, which will in itself reduce acne. It'll also give you a closer shave.

Multi-bladed cartridges have HUGE amounts of tug-and-pull as the result of so many blades crossing your face; this creates GREAT amounts of irritation.

u/demizer · 2 pointsr/funny

Time for some gospel... Reddit, please don't use these razors. Use a safety razor, soap, and a badger brush for shaving. I shave my head and face every 3+ days. I go through a small container of soap every 4 months, and I still haven't went through the $10 pack of 100 razor blades I bought almost two years ago. I also get a much closer shave and the soap is not as harsh on my skin as the gel shit. The initial investment is about $70+, but it saves a lot of time and money in the long run and you get a mans shave, close and clean with little irritation. I spent about $15 shaving in 2011. I did cut myself really bad in the first month or two of using razors, but after that I got a styptic pencil to seal up wounds instantly.

Soap: ($10) http://amzn.com/B001RILFDU

Brush: ($14) http://amzn.com/B003WR3QSG

Blades: ($10) http://amzn.com/B003BWQX46

Razor: ($33) http://amzn.com/B000NL0T1G

Styptic: ($1) http://amzn.com/B00112WRB6

Edit: Forgot to mention, I shave my head and face in about 12 minutes. When you have a fresh razor the hair comes right off. I have shaved off 1 weeks worth of growth (think thick irish beard) on one fresh razor in minutes.

u/engwish · 2 pointsr/videos

Look into using a safety razor. It's a little old-fashioned, but...

  • You buy a $30 razor that you never need to replace - Link
  • Blades cost about $0.17/week - Link
  • Shaving cream lasts you at least 6 months - Link
  • You need to apply using a shaving brush, but they're cheap, too - Link

    All in all, you spend most of your money up front, and then you're looking at about $3.20 or less per month for an amazing shave, depending on how little cream you use.
u/[deleted] · 1 pointr/woodworking

if you use a double edge safety razor, it doesn't cost much. i mean sure you have to buy the razor... mine was like $70 for the razor and a stand and a mug. and the soap. i go through ~$13 worth every 3 or 4 months.

but then compare this to this. it's practically free by comparison.

and the shave's a lot better.

u/kcb2 · 1 pointr/Frugal

Wet shaving is the cheapest way shave I have ever found, and the best shave I have ever gotten. I shave every other day and get a "5 o'clock shadow" around mid-afternoon the second day. This has been better for my skin too.

Depending on how fast you go through blades, it can be pretty cheap. I use these blades as they have the best quality-to-cost ratio I have found - Shark Super Chrome

Invest in a good badger hair brush - it will last you years if you take care of it. It really does make a difference and will allow you to use better, cheaper soap than any foam you can get in a can.

For soap, I am a big fan of Taylor of Old Bond Street. A $15 tub will last me 1-2 years (a little bit goes a long way!) I dab a finger in to the tub and put it in to a cup that I use to froth with my brush.

From a brief description here, it doesn't sound frugal. But I buy blades every ~18 months and soap every ~24 months... I use a Merkur DES handle I bought years ago for $30, and buy a brush every few years. I would say my annual costs are less than $20. Cheaper than any other method I have used while having better shaves and less irritation.

u/Max_Beezly · 1 pointr/Shave_Bazaar

not to be an asshole, but the shark blades are only $12.75 for a 100 pack on amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Shark-Double-Safety-Blades-Chrome/dp/B003BWQX46

I would just buy those and then sell these off if you dont like em. It would be easier to sell them than try to trade em.

edit: nevermind, the deal congress_tart posted is a lot better than mine. In fact, I just ordered a 300 pack from them

u/tasty_pathogen · 1 pointr/Frugal

This next one is more for your husband. There is no reason to spend lots of money on shaving. If your husband is currently shaving with disposable razors or with a cartridge based system then he is probably wasting money.

For shaving get a double edged safety razor. I use a Merkur Long Handled Safety Razor. The razor blades are sold separately and this is where you save a lot of money. Getting both together is a really nice Christmas present.

The Shark Super Chrome razor blades cost $0.12 per blade. I go through maximum two blades per week. So that is less than a quarter each week for a really good razor.

Be forewarned. Safety razors are not for everyone. Some people don't like shaving with them.

Now the next part. Shaving foam. Shaving foam is expensive. If you use shaving soap and a badger brush instead you will save money. It takes a bit longer time to lather up the soap but the savings are worth it.

You don't have to get the safety razor and the shaving soap at the same time. I would get the razor first and see how your husband likes it.

There is also a subreddit for old school shaving called /r/wicked_edge that is really good. People there will be happy to answer any questions you have.

u/Ratlettuce · 1 pointr/pics

/r/wicked_edge will help you get into wet shaving. Double edge safety razor OR straight edge. Youll save a metric shit-ton on blades.

Example razor

Example blades

Do yourself a favor and get into it. The shave is better, cheaper, more fun, and way more classy. You can get old razors too and they work with modern razor blades. I have a 1959 Gillette Fat Boy for example.

u/seejur · 1 pointr/news

This is one of the best investment I ever done in my life. 10 Dollar per year and shave perfectly (Plus around the one time investment of 30 dollar for the razor)

u/emceelane · 1 pointr/wicked_edge

Yeah, it's the same with Shark blades, which are amazing for the price. I have very sensitive skin and at ~15¢ a blade I'm amazed at the job they do.

u/dizzoknows · 1 pointr/pics

Ah. Interesting. It's funny that you mention that because the following two items were already on my Amazon Wish-List: This and This

I did some research awhile back and learned that I was being totally ripped off by the razor manufacturers, especially in the realm of refills.

I wouldn't need shaving cream recipes, though, as I own a little company that makes the best shaving cream I've ever used. We use an absurd amount of aloe and shea butter in ours. We also make a shaving lotion and a shaving gel, but I prefer the cream.

u/my_man_krishna · 1 pointr/Frugal

You can save even more using an old-fashioned safety razor with disposable blades. Booyah.

u/Roman_____Holiday · 1 pointr/untrustworthypoptarts

Don't use that overpriced crap. I use this: https://www.amazon.com/Feather-Double-Edge-Shaving-Razor/dp/B003YJ70NY/ and get yourself one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Shark-Double-Safety-Blades-Chrome/dp/B003BWQX46/
and you're pretty much set for life.
