Wet Shaving
Do we have any afficionados of traditional wet shaving here on the planet? I have taken up this art recently.

If you're a n00b, I'm talking about this:

Spend Less on a Close Shave
April 29, 2010

The strategy

Buy a safety razor — yes, the kind Grandpa used. While the razor costs about five times more than the typical multiblade cartridge kind, its blades will run about $30 a year, vs. $50 and up for cartridge refills. Plus, a safety razor lasts a lifetime and looks a heck of a lot better on your bathroom shelf than a plastic one. Will you get a good shave? Absolutely — and you’ll be less likely to develop ingrown hairs, says grooming expert Nick Burns, co-author of The Bearded Gentleman.

What to look for

A razor that weighs 2½ ounces or more, such as the classic Merkur (pictured) or the Edwin Jagger 89L ($35). Heavier models are less likely to nick because you won’t be tempted to press into your skin to get a close shave. Go for a handle that’s at least three inches long — it’ll be easier to grip.

Shave smarter

Not all safety blades are the same. Feather blades, for example, are sharper than Derbys. So try a few options to find the best fit, says Mark Herro, who writes the shaving blog Sharpologist.

Straight razor shaving wasn't too hard to learn, after using a DE for a long time. You have to be really careful with blade angle and pressure (you want no pressure, or you will cut yourself, and I mean cut, not nick), but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. I recommend starting slow and only shaving part of your face, and slowly expanding how much you shave. The guys at the The Straight Razor Place forum were extremely helpful.
I use a DE razor on both my neck and my head, and I don't see how I could do both with a straight razor, so I'll probably stick with the DE. I think it's cool that those things last a lifetime and can be handed down, that's awesome.

I shave a part of my head (the front, there are just a few hairs left) with a DE, but I do my face and neck with a straight. DEs can be handed on as well. The first DE I got was a 1954 Gilette Superspeed that belonged to my grandfather...who got it new in 1954!

Works very well, and costs very little since I use a disposable blade once a week.
I've been shaving in the shower for more than a decade - no mirror necessary here - and use the Mach 3 disposable blades. I had used the Mach 3 or whatever "system", where I replaced the blade every week or so but the handle would get to damaged by the hard water after a few months, it became more cost effective to use disposables.

I've never had an ingrown hair, thankfully. That must be painful.

Love the Feather blades. Reviews will scare you off with tales of how sharp they are but pay them no mind. They are sharp but I've rarely cut myself. If you haven't shaved with Feather blades, give them a try ASAP.

I was using disposable blades until I got a Schick Hydro in one of those men's smell good gift boxes with the deodorant etc for Christmas. I loved the shave after using it and when I ran out of blades I found them on ebay and bought 8 blades for $13.00. One blade is lasting about 2 months, I was spending more than that on disposable. I'm going to try that sharpening on denim trick and see what happens.

I have to use an electric. I recently got a Philips Norelco razor that I could use in the shower with shaving gel. That makes all the difference in the world. A nice close shave with no razor burn.My old razor would make my face itch like mad after a shave, especially if it had been a day or two since the last shave.

Right? I shave in the shower takes 2 minutes. Been using the Shave Club blades for a year or so and they work great.

Nah, I just live in 2016. If others want to shave like my grandfather did that's totally cool with me.

Maybe you can pull the ring top off a nice cold beer when you're finished. (that sounds kinda good now that I type it.)

Hmmm, never thought of shaving as an art. More of an occasional necessity, like taking a dump. But then, I don't have a lot of facial hair either.

I shave in the shower. It's the only way to go IMO. Gillette Sensor Excel, or Schick Hydro 5..
