The Gillette I bought off EBay is pre 1951 and I paid about $10 for it. But yes, Merkur still makes them new.

So umm, yeah...some people take this very seriously.

One thing I did learn is that I managed to buy blades that rate very poorly. At least my iron skin survived better than others even if the beard did too.

I shave in the shower by feel. It softens up the hairs but it also makes it a simple procedure to clean the head. I would make an incredible mess at the sink.

Just so. I shave in the shower while the water is running by feel without a mirror.

Howell great link.
For most, the blades I've got last one or two shaves. That's 100 blades for 16 dollars. So, .16 cents a shave if I use them once, .8 cents for twice.
Better then .50 cents each for Disposables that cut me pretty consistently.

Just got a Hess Ezy Shave.

First thing I did was cut myself...
It should work great for sideburns.

Tried DD's shave blind in the shower. Seems to have worked, with no blood letting.
It's a great way to do a first pass, then come back and finish the little missed spots.
By the time I get through the 95 or so, fairly dull 7 AM blades, I should be ready for some
sharper blades, and have better technique.

Update: Changing the blades in the Hess a pain..
I've been using the straight razor enough to dull a blade, a little.
Changing them is a pain. You don't exactly stick the new blade in by using the injector system.
Found a single blade razor for injector blades:

I can't wait to see if that replaces the throw away under nose razors.

It has been pointed out to me that while Gillette Mach 3 blades are normally around $2 apiece, they can be had on Ebay for $1.25 - $1.50.

Mach 3 blades are about $2.40 around me. Thanks for the tip.

They're probably counterfeits from China.

My wife uses the same type of blades I do (Mach 3) without complaint. In fact, she commented that they were better than the more expensive female version.

For the most part, a razor is a razor.
Though if you want to talk to southern region hair-removal experts, you need to talk to someone doing a male to female gender transition. I know a couple. I have stories. You do not want me to tell them.

The only shaving I do is on my face and neck. I know some of the biking guys do their legs, but I don't bother.
I also bought the Mach 3 for my girlfriend and she said it works better than the female razors.
I don't mean legs either.

Hey, a little trimming is just common courtesy.
My friend indicates that is what is expected from most men nowadays.
Sure that was, but times have changed.

That did not exist, so I was forced to create it.

Less is fine, but something about none is just not quite right.
Be glad you were not in Europe in the 1980s. Many of the Italian and German women did not shave anything. No money to Gillette and Schick whatsoever.

I like that it can change. Fuzzy is OK sometimes and so is none at all. Part of the fun the surprise.
And I don't see what the big deal is about not shaving armpits. Who cares?
