I don’t know what it’s called in English, but it’s amazing. I shave with this everywhere except downstairs. I need apply NO pressure whatsoever thanks to its own weight and thanks to the sharpness of these Japanese blades. I love it. :3 ⚔️🎌

Edit: you obviously don’t have to present your equipment on your hands like a psychopath. 🤣

    YES!!! SAFETY RAZORS.

    We should seriously consider starting a propaganda campaign for safety razor adoption over the multi blade money plucking machine.

    They’re:

    • waaaaay more environmentally friendly
    • no plastic
    • will probably outlast YOU
    • will save a crazy crazy amount of money over your lifetime
    • give you a better shave? This is what I’ve heard, but have never tried the scam razors myself, so no personal experience

      Quality of shave ranking by my opinion: 1)Hot shave by a barber w/straight razor 2)Straight razor on yourself. 3)Safety razor 4)Cartridge/Disposables 5)Electric razors.

      Trimming devices excluded.

        There is a bit of a learning curve to getting the right angle and pressure. Also, supposedly your skin needs to get used to it?

        After a couple of weeks, nicks will mostly be a thing of the past.

          Also blade selection is very important. I just got a sampler pack with ten blades and went until one felt right.

        Lol yep, I’ve cut myself with an electric shaver before too. But I did eventually get used to DE safety razors. Recently I’ve been using a slant blade razor, it’s nice and easy and I barely ever cut myself anymore.
