A few months ago my local grocery store stopped stocking my favorite disposable razors, then the local Walmart a short drive further down the road followed in removing my brand. Being near Christmas at the time, I splurged and bought a Braun (Series 7) electric razor, but it didn't live up to expectations. Since then, I've tried every disposable razor out there: 2 blades, 3 blades, 4 blades, etc, etc.
Now I've decided to take the plunge and look into old fashioned double edged safety razors. I'm still a bit too nervous to go full out and get a straight razor.
Just curious if anybody else shaves with safety razors or straight razors?
I'm trying to decide between the Merkur Vision:
and the Futur:

Been using the Mach 3 Power Razor for years. Love it. The one downside: the replacement cartridges are a little pricey, fifteen bucks or so for a pack of five at Target or Wal-mart, but I don't have a problem spending that for something I like so much.

How often do you buy a new pack of 5 blades?

I was really hoping to find somebody who uses a straight razor--Conquistador I don't know why I thought you might. Even my barber uses a fake straight razor. It looks like a straight razor but instead of a permanent blade, it has a slotted bar that a disposable razor blade is inserted into.
I am almost done doing my online shopping and putting together a kit. I decided to start with the newbie equipment and work up from there if I liked the performance and planned to stay with it.

I have used both "normal" straight razors and the type that you insert the blade into. I think the kind with the disposable blades is better. Also you're less likely to permanently fuck it up. My antique straight razor fell on my bathroom floor after bouncing off the edge of the sink and now has a nick in the blade.
I haven't used that style in a couple of years and right now I buy cheap disposables.
While there is something satisfying about a close shave I find it not worth the bother.
I pretty much shave with a blade twice a week at most and otherwise use an electric beard trimmer to tame my stubble.
My facial hair constantly changes, right now I just have big side burns but I've been pondering rocking a "Lemmy" for a while.
My advice with straight razors is to follow your barber's lead. I think the "fake" type are easier to maintain than the real ones and have a sharper edge.
Hope you find something you like.
The one shaving product I really want is one of those shaving cream warming machines.

"Being near Christmas at the time, I splurged and bought a Braun (Series 7) electric razor, but it didn't live up to expectations."
The manual says that there's an adjustment period.
That said, I have a Nixonian beard, and use the Braun 7 Tuesdays-Fridays.
On Mondays, as I allow the beard to grow over the weekend, use the Shick Quattro to hack away at the weekend's growth.
i let the beard grow for a few years back then, but it was mostly gray and made me look much older than actuality, so have been sawing away at it for the past year.

Where dem coopons at?
I use the Gilette Fusion Power, 1 blade is good for 2-3 shaves for me. I shave once a week to once a month. To me shaving is a chore.

Sportin' a grey/white beard right now. I outline with a very cheap Krogers single blade disposable and trim with an electric trimmer. I use Neutrogena skin clearing shave cream or a gel to avoid ingrown hairs where I outline. Usually use Old Spice after shave but also Stetson or Preferred Stock from time to time.

That Neutrogena stuff is the best. I use that and Gillette Fusion. Each refill lasts me a month or 2, but I only shave about once a week and I always cut it down w/ a beard trimmer first.

I use the Wahl Peanut to shave my face to stubble. I get my head shaved once a week and he details the edges of my head/beardline etc. with one of those little cartridge razors. It is a slick look. Our faggot city has prohibited barbers from using any kind or razor to cut, but he does it anyways.

Well, I took the plunge and have shifted over completely to single blade wet shaving with a safety razor (pending the UPS guy bringing me my stuff). I did move up in price on the razor because I found a good deal on teh internets, but I otherwise tried to keep middle of the road on price. Razor: Blades: Shaving cream: Brush: Mug: Reviews pending...

Are you going to attribute that wax job to a certain whore, or must we guess.

Weird, Frankie answered a post by actually typing instead of linking to an image.
Constantly answering posts with images has made you seem like you are stupid.
Since this is a message board and you don't express yourself by typing words.
Please answer this post with another image post so that the people who can write have another reason to laugh at you.
Your predictability is pathetic.

I was wondering whose waxed cunt it was, so I could find more pix of the whore. Are you hitting the apple pie moonshine?

Fortunately, I've managed to talk him out of this habit since then... he looks DAMN sexy with the beard, gray and all, and any woman with two working brain cells will tell you what power a beard against the nipples or between the thighs holds...
