I was always told that straight razors give horrible shaves but the more I’m researching the more I’m hearing otherwise. Especially when you mention 18+h before stubble.. hell I can barely get rid of the stubble with a disposable as it is unless I go against flow which irritates the hell out of my face. I guess it’s bout time I tried it out

Not sure how men let themselves get talked into cartridge shaving that promised lower quality at a higher price. Have you seen the cost of an 8 pack of Mach III’s these days? Is it any wonder that most guys are using cartridges WAY past their sharpness date and getting SUPER crappy shaves? After finding myself in the razor aisle at my local grocery store feeling like I was going to have to make a choice between paying the mortgage and having a shave I made up my mind to go back to traditional wet shaving. Started with a replaceable double edge (DE) safety razor and proper shaving soaps and creams with a brush. Could not believe the improvement on my face and what was once a mindless chore that resulted in skin irritation has become a genuine pleasure, a part of my morning routine, full of pleasant scents and soothing textures. My new straight razor is on the way and I’ll never buy another cartridge. Make the switch gents….you won’t regret it.

I won't go back using those disposable cartridges. My wife thinks I'm sexy when I use a straight razor! It permits the closest shave possible and it makes me feel good and look good.

It’s really good to hear some of the good feedback from folks using straight razors..

And tell Mr. Savvy to say hey when he stops by SRP!

“If your face was like wood and was straight and true they would be wonderful.”

What a wonderful way of describing this. Mr. Savvy would like to get started with a straight razor. I’ll have to point him towards the resources in this post.

Good article. I am proud to say that I am one of the ones who recently made the conversion to a straight razor as well. I have sensitive skin, often got red bumps on my neck after shaving, and used to have frequent problems with ingrown hairs. Since making the switch those problems have virtually vanished… there is no going back to disposable for me now!
