Question for Safety Razor Users

Is a beard not an option?

Just saying this because my friend has this problem, but not everyone grows a full beard! My...ahem...his beard is really just some stubbles so you constantly have to razor off the hair so you don't look like a 17 year old trying to grow his first beard.

Again this is my friend's problem and not mine.
 
my favorite I've found so far, has more natural ingredients than most


I use double edge safety razor about half the time and the harry's razor half the time.
 
This stuff usually lasts me a year.
Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Cream Bowl, 5.3-Ounce

The stuff above is hard and takes a little practice to use the right amount of water to get a good consistency.

I like the peppermint AOS stuff but it's too expensive and gets used too fast.

I use to use Feather blades for my face and head. I still use Feathers for my face but they are just too aggressive for my head.
 
I shave the neck and head in the shower. Gets the whiskers nice and soft when I shave at the end

Really don't need much more than a cheap cream or soap.
Agree. When I shave. It softens up the whiskers. Worst is not being able to see so I do it by feel and take a quick look when I get out

Sounds like you need a new friend...

You can tell your friend that a beard continues to "come in" through a man's 40s. I could only pull off a mustache and goatee until about 30. Then it finally filled in enough on my cheeks that I could do a full beard by like 35.

Safety razor, soap, cup, brush,and single-edge blades probably costs about ~25% of cartridges and canned shaving cream. For the same results.
Got my grandfathers mug and soap brush from 100 years ago, but I’ve joined the 21st century. :rolleyes:Also have his straight razor, too. Like to see you use it.:rolleyes:
 
Last thing then I'll let you get back to shaving. It actually helps it look thicker to grow it longer. Not ZZ Top or anything, but a 1" beard will look fuller than stubble because that extra volume of hair helps visually fill in any thin spots. I have a full beard that looks fine, but looks bad as stubble because my cheeks aren't full enough when the whiskers are short.

I have probably 20 body hairs. A beard is out of the question.
