Safety Razor

My gift from Paige this past Christmas was something
I had been wanting for a while, but have never gotten
around to purchasing. Since I am cursed with a beard
that grows in fast, I have to shave often (it should
be daily, but that doesn’t always happen). I’m not a
fan of all the new disposable razor blades, with 4
blades on them and costing a lot for refills. I was
always a fan of the shaving kits you would see in the
old movies, where you lather up a badger hair brush
and use a safety razor to shave. This was my gift
from Paige, and I love it. She got me the following:
Omega Shaving Soap
This comes in its own handy bowl.
Old Original Badger Hair Shaving Brush
Parker Safety Razor
I purchased a 10 pack of double edge steel blades at CVS for $4.99; which is a lot better than the price of those disposable blades I used to buy for my Mach 3.
The first time I shaved with the safety razor was a scary experience. That’s a pretty freakin’ sharp blade, but I made it through unscathed. Once my face was lathered with the shaving soap, the blade just glided across my face. I made sure I didn’t apply a lot of pressure. At first I couldn’t even tell it was actually removing my beard it moved so effortlessly, but I stopped and looked and ran my hand across it, and it was super smooth. If you want a manly shave, get yourself these products. After the initial investment, which isn’t all that bad, you only have to get yourself the blades; so in the long run you will save money. The shaving soap lasts a while, as will the brush, as long as you take care of it.
