InB4 : a razor Duh !

Couple of years ago I started practising traditional shaving, I currently use a 1961 Gillette Slim adjustable fitted with Gillette 7'clock green blades.

And a Solingen steel cut throat when I have tons of time to shave.

I find the result a lot better than what I used to get from disposable razors.


So what do you all use if anything at all?

Dry shaver thingey. Minimal effort, shave isn't great, but I don't have time to piss around trying not to cut my own face off.

I dry my DE after each use along with the blade, I learnt a pricey lesson the first time I didn't dry the cut throat

Wotcha.

What is this shaving of which you speak ? Mr. Green

Last time I sported a naked face was in 1984.

My shaving days have been suspended pending an experiment.
I do, however, have a ridiculously sharp small Leatherman knife with which I have no doubt would be able to shave hair.

Edwin Jagger DE razor with Wilkinson Sword blades, Wilkinson sword blue bowl shaving soap and a badger hair brush.

Switched from a gillette fusion pro glide about 8 months ago and have never looked back.

I intend to get a proper cut throat at some point.

I used a DE razor for the past couple of years but recently gone over to the Aldi 3 blade razor. It's easily as good as the mach 3 but like the lidl razor already mentioned it's a quarter of the price.

If I can be arsed, mach 3 on head and face. If I can't be arsed (which is the usual these days) clippers.

My nads get the Veet treatment, which is another game entirely....

Various Gillette adjustables with Polsilver SI blades, J Peterman 1903 cream, super badger brushes on rotation, followed by alum block and aftershave. Maybe adding a Muhle or Merkur to the stable.
