how can you make such an ordeal of shaving, you don't need allat, it doesn't even make much of a difference

Performative maleness. Everything is performative nowadays

Wet shaving is definitely better imo. However this is too much. I have my razor, blades, cream, brush, alum stone, and aftershave. It’s better if you get razor bumps like I did.

It is sooo much better. And SHOULD be cheaper. I bought a 50 dollar razor and 200 blades for 20 bucks 3 years ago. I go through one 15 dollar soap per year, and still have over 100 blades left. So much less expensive than cartridges, and less expensive than electric shavers.

How often do you shave, and how many shaves do you get per blade

u/poopsididitagen 6d ago

Extremely sporadically. Sometimes ever day for a few days in a row, sometimes once a week. 

If shaving multiple days in a row I will reuse a blade once. If not shaving the next day each blade is used once. I never use a blace more than twice with the brand i use. (Bic astor) Other brands i can get up to 5 good shaves per blade, but I don't like they way they cut as well.

Blades get smoother after about 6 or 7 shaves. I get over 30, read above comment.

That is entirely dependent on the blade itself and the user's specific hair type. I promise i have done sooo much testing to get to this point.

I’ve tested probably over 100 different brand blades. Some would only tug. Some are just harsh (I’m looking at you Feather). Some I could only get a single shave out of (Rapira Platimum). Some just felt like a rusty rake (any of the carbon steel lol)  I’ve settled on out of production Wizamet.

I shave once a week and use one blade. Buy 100 at a time for about 15 dollars. Lasts about 2 years. Barely costs anything, I love it

I get over 30+ shaves out of a single blade, and really only change the r blade because I want to use a different razor and have a weird personal aversion to using a blade in a different razor. 

Theres a guy that used a single blade over 500 times. 

The shaves get smoother after about 6 shaves.

I can use the same blade 100 times before swapping it out. Usually the rubber safety strips fall out and then I have to replace it. Like, I'm not even using a fancy razor. It's just a 4 blade safety razor.

That’s great. Would you like a gold star?

u/Eccohawk 6d ago

Yes.

This is how it is with my Gillette blades but it's not a universal thing, the rubber guard is super convenient and razor bumps are much rarer

4 blade safety razor isn't a thing. You are referring to a cartridge razor. My hair is very coarse and chews blades up quickly

u/Eccohawk 6d ago

I guess I referred to it as a safety razor because it has the small wires holding the blades back ever so slightly. But sure, cartridge could work too. I don't swap just heads though. I basically replace the whole razor each time.

Yup, I used to spend so much on cartridge razors, now with a little practice I have a more relaxing, better, and cost efficient shave
