Wet Shaving

[hondavalk]

I use a Schick Single Edge Razor Injector. The Schick handle is no longer available as far as I know but the blades still are.

I also shave in the shower. Have a mirror with a hook on it to hang in there. A thin film of soap on it keeps it from fogging. I use cheap disposables from BJs wholesale and they last a long time in the shower. For cream most any gel type works for me.

I used an electric when I was younger but it started to give me a rash so onto blades I went. The only blades that do that seem to be the extremely cheap Bic.

Been there done that.

I usually shave about once a week. That's about as long as I can go without shaving before DW won't let me kiss her. :(
Then it's bar soap and Gillette Mach 5 blade.

Gillette soap and brush from Walmart and disposable blades from Costco.......always shave right after a shower.

Badger Brush & Old Spice Mug, Mach 3 & strait edge, I swap back & forth.
Strop every time I use the Strait edge.. Oggalala Bay Rum after shave or Old Spice.

X2 on those BJ's disposables. They do last a long time. I can go weeks with one of them. Why pay twice as much for the Gillette Mach 2 or 3's?

No BJ's Wholesale Clubs here? Like the weight of the handle of the Mach 3? I think the 2 was called the Edge BTW.

My barber uses the straight razor when I get my hair cut. Are they hard to use?

Shave, not me. After all you can't grow grass on a playground

Does that mean once a week, on Saturday. Jim

There are many brushes for sale out there. Some go for as much as upwards of $500.00!! Yea, I know, that's ridiculous. But more typically you can get a quality brush made in the U.S.A. from Badger hair for around $55.00. If that is still too steep in price I have found one made in Germany for $15.00. Can't say what the shipping will be. Either a good Boar's Hair or Badger Hair brush with their water retention properties ought to serve you well. Me? I use a cheap brush from CVS and a mug filled with hot water and discarded shower soap that my family finds too small for soaping up with in the shower!

Mirror? Did you at one time forget where your face was? I too shave in the shower, but use a bit of soap and find my face every time. ;-)

I agree
