A Venus Swirl razor has 5 blades. That's 4 too many.
You need a razor with a single blade. I would personally suggest a DE razor but there are other options for those who are uncomfortable with safety razors.
​
Your options are an old school double edge or single edge razor as suggested, a single blade pivoting cartridge razor like the Gillette Guard or Waterless by Venus, a pivoting single blade razor like one of these , or finally a single blade disposable like a BiC Metal or Sensitive - but these last are not really a good choice & should be considered a last resort .
​
You also need a shaving cream or soap, & a large shaving brush or a small washcloth to apply the lather. Avoid shaving products that come from a can.
​
I would suggest that you start off step -by step so as to reduce the learning curve & expense.
I'm in the same boat and I switched to wet shaving with a single blade safety razor. It's done wonders for me, as I can get a very close shave without hardly any irritation. If I want to leave the house, I need to shave, and shave CLOSE, or I don't feel comfortable. When I'd use Mach3s or Sensor Excels, in the past, I'd have to set aside at least 45mins to let my face calm down, from being raw, red, and blotchy.
Now, I'm good to go in 5-8 mins (generally), no 'cool down' time needed. It's lovely.
My current shaving setup:
Merkur 42C Safety Razor
Gillette Silver Blue blades
Kiss My Face Moisture Shave lotion (I also have a collection of shave soaps and creams, but this is my general go-to)
YouTube is great to watch tutorials on wet shaving, and it'll prepare ya a bit. It did for me. My two fav YT shave enthusiasts are these two fellas; they essentially taught me how:
Paul H
Nick Shaves
I've kinda-sorta turned what used to be a hated chore that made me angry ("ugh, why do I have to even DO this shit?!"), into something that's kinda relaxing. If I have the time and mood, I go all out. A nice hot towel, a soothingly scented shave soap wonderfully lathered with a brush a friend made for me, etc.
Hey! I've been DE shaving for about 2 years or so and I can definitely say it saves money. I didn't get into it as a hobby so it's still been pretty cheap. In fact, I'm using the soap I started with. I've linked everything I bought when I started (I can't find the blades though).
soap
razor
brush
I would then suggest getting a variety pack of razor blades. That way you can figure out which one really works best for your skin. I used to get red bumps/razor burn whenever I shaved with a Venus. That never happens to me now. I had learned that the more razor blades, the higher the chance of irritation. Now, some days I get a ridiculously smooth shave and some days I don't. However, I think that's a reflection of my skin, not this method of shaving.
Let me know what other questions you may have! I really love this way of shaving! Good luck!
Whal has a pretty great standard of quality for the price. The clippers I use are:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GQ3GEY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00
There's actually an attachment head to this one that trims short hairs even shorter, pretty much to the bare skin. It's the big one with two curved rows (shown in the middle here).
Here's my method:
Use the clipper flat on your skin without a guard to trim hairs short (1-3mm), then take the big head to finish the job. The big head can't pick up long hairs, but it's a pro at short hairs. The big head works in such a way that it won't irritate or bite your skin.
Here's what's great about that big head: since it only works on short hairs, you can use it every few days to keep your skin bare, really without even looking. If I let it go too long I have to trim it again.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have questions.
Mine looks just like this one but it's a way older version obviously. Braun Silk-Epil 7521 Wet and Dry Epilator (Pink).
When mine dies i will buy this one: Braun SE 7561 Silk-Epil Wet and Dry Epilator (Silver) cause it has all the fancy attachments heads that I'd love to try and says it's only a few dollars more.
My current one is also a wet & dry version. I don't think I've ever actually tried it in the shower, but that might help with the pain if you need it and have that option. Not sure though.
Also some things I've remembered.
Oops! Well all mistakes I've made I've made on my own. This is the razor I ordered: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CP27F5I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Why is the soap not so good? I heard good reviews of it online which is why I ordered it, would you have a different recommendation?
(This is the one I got https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0031OOHB0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
And for posterity's sake, here's the brush. https://smile.amazon.com/Fento-Badger-Shaving-Safety-Straight/dp/B01EUG393E/ref=pd_ybh_a_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=031MRQJWNV2VPPZHHNSF
Thanks for the advice as well! I really appreciate it.
Do you have access to Amazon?
I use the Merkur 180 DE razor and I love it! It has a good weight to it and the handle is long (shaving legs with a short handle razor is tough).
Here's an Amazon link for the razor : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NL0T1G/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_VVfsub1BZRSMF
You could just buy soap in a tub, like this. Or you could buy something like this. I mostly buy soap in tubs. I've found that round is usually the way to go when picking containers for shaving pucks. It's easier to load, and it's how the soap is shaped and how the brush is shaped.
Some sort of stick thing that makes the shave super slick. I use it as a base under the shave cream for extra slip, but I guess with good brush skills it's a soap in itself.
I have used a couple of safety razors, but this one is by far my favorite: https://www.amazon.com/Parker-Womens-Butterfly-Safety-Razor/dp/B013S2GKJQ/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=parker+29l+for+her&qid=1567666202&s=beauty&sr=1-2
http://www.amazon.com/Geo-F-Trumper-Shaving-Refill/dp/B000IB0G82
Found that ^. Has some pretty good reviews.
I have one of these, and it serves me quite faithfully. Many reviews say that it's lasted them years, I've only had mine for six or so months. I would recommend it, and purchase it again.
Do you get your water from an aquifer? I lived in Iowa for 5 years and worked for the DNR for a while. Most of the state's water comes from limestone aquifers and is really, really hard, especially in some of the smaller towns where they don't treat the water as much. It always made my hair super frizzy, and if I wasn't careful I'd get random patches of eczema all over. Definitely think about a getting a water softener or shaving with bottled water, etc. Also consider wearing pants that are not too tightly fitted, if you're not already doing that. Getting some space between any irritating dyes and your legs means they won't be in constant contact.
Also, in addition to the eczema sub, /r/SkincareAddiction also has a lot of good advice, although more of it is geared toward face care. However, it still applies to legs.
That all said, coming back to shaving, I use a basic fragrance free, high glycerin content shaving soap that lathers well with my DE razor, and it's really helped with irritation from shaving and ingrown hairs. Plus, I'm no longer getting any irritation from those little strips at the top of disposables.
I believe you can get them at Walgreens, yes! They look like this - they're see through. The clear ones for blisters work exactly the same.
Razor: Edwin Jagger, ~$35, or the Parker 29L.
Brush: Omega 10048.
Soap: I haven't used proraso but it's the only thing I can think of that's available on amazon with the shipping. Maybe someone will chime in who knows. Here's the link to one of them.
Note: you may also want to buy some witch hazel, an alum block and a blade sampler. But, the blade sampler will be cheaper and better if you go through a site like tryablade.com or maggardrazors.com
