Earlier this year I gave up the expensive Gillette fusion cartridges and tried a double edge safety razor with shave soap and brush. Now I am addicted and shaving has become a joy for the first time in my life. I'm curious if anyone else on here shaves with a DE or straight razor and brush. If not, you may want to try it out. I have never had such close shaves in my life. The blades I use are $10 to $15 for 100, so much cheaper way of shaving unless it becomes a hobby where you continue to seek out the best brush, razor head and handle, and artisan soaps like me...lol.

I do not condone the use of, nor do I use anabolic or androgenic steroids. My participation on these boards is for informational purposes only. I have done extensive research of AAS and enjoy discussing them for role playing enjoyment.

Guess not. Well if anyone is interested and has any question feel free to PM me. If you hate shaving like I did then this is the way to go.Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. George Washington

I like it, though you need to get wet shaving cream and not use the heavy shaving cream used by modern multiblade razors.
I use the Astra Platinum blades. It was hard to find the right blade to use, too sharp and it cuts the skin easily...but too dull and it will not cut the beard efficiently. After trying about a half dozen types of blades, the Astra won out. The Personna Platinum Red (red box vs white box) was a close second.
I get a MUCH better shave for MUCH less money this way. Takes some practice to learn how to use them, but I like it better.
