       Safety razors are so great. Like you buy a decent razor handle once and then just get dirt cheap, super sharp razors that you can afford to replace as often as you need to so you never have to use a dull blade.I've been using the same safety razor since before the pandemic. Instead of shaving cream I use generic foamed up soap. Over the last 7 years or so I'm pretty sure I've spent less than €20 on all my shaving-related expenses. Most often I don't cut myself at all and if I do it's usually because I'm being stupid (shaving against the grain) or lazy (not replacing a dull razor).

       Biggest expense for me when I swapped to safety razors over a decade ago was a nice brush. I got my razors and cup from my grandfather, the brush was not nice so I invested in a good badger hair brush and still prefer this method. Using a hot towel also really reduces cuts and irritation.

       I have significantly reduced cuts and irritation by refusing to shave at all since 2008.  I strongly recommend this solution as it constitutes a massive savings in razors, shaving cream, and timeCC: @njion@bark.lgbt

       Eventually my obsession with slightly-less-convenient-but-significantly-more-durable items will pay off, you'll see!!

       I have a beard, but I still shave my neck. I assume you have scissors to trim said beard?CC: @njion@bark.lgbt

       @njion I mean the big point for cartridge razors is that it's basically impossible to cut yourself with them, while with safety razors all it takes is a tiny hand tremor and half your face is bleeding
