@@stealyonikes Actually if you get nicked you use it wrong or the mount is just not the one for you. With cardridge razers you basically cant cut yourself. But same for the 1blade if used correctly
I can shave everyday with a single blade safety razor, i get no rash or soreness, the traditional soaps make a huge difference, they moisturize and help the razor glide as well as smelling great and cause no irritation. A good safety razor and blade give a super close and smooth shave and the whole experience with a soap and brush is very enjoyable .
I use Gillette's Guard single blade razor which is best, it gives me smooth, safe and comfortable shaving, it protects from cuts and from razor bumps, it is not very expensive.
I switched to safety razor Month's ago and i am never going back to the cartridge razor. Safety razor is the best and i completely agree with the video.
High end cartridge razors with multiple blades will give you a cleaner shave because they pull the hair. But do you really need it? Is baby smooth skin that only lasts for a couple of hours really necessary? And is it worth the massive increase in price and waste of plastic? For me, I think a safety razor with cheap blade is perfectly fine and you're wasting money on those Gillette Mach 4 disposable cartridges. You decide for yourself.
I just used the Bombay Shaving Company's single blade for the first time....it is way better than multi blade cartilage razor. Also, their products are good and give you that luxury feel.
Just shave while you are showering and your (1 cm lenght top) beard is moisty and wet, it will be shaved off extremely easily and comfortably, I use the single-bladed razor as if it would be a brush, so handled from the bottom tip with short, decisive but not too deep touches and strokes on the skin. Once in a while a very tiny cut but it is nothing to be worried about, adds a bit of colour to the skin too :)
Depends on your time,a safety razor takes a little more time or you can easily cut yourself with new blade with improper angle but a cartridge you can basically go zip zip done and out the door since there is perfect tilting on contours but the cartridges are expensive;you will get a better shave with safety razor and no ingrown hairs with lower cost of blades.
As my bro said . It depends on our preference I use both when I'm in a hurry I use my proglide it need just 30 sec... But when I'm at home relaxing I use my pink wolf closed comb DE razor .. it's so calming ❤
okay but how do i use those single-blade disposables i can actually afford without constantly losing the correct angle to hold it at and/or cutting myself up all the time actually, my cartridges are always sharper than single-blades and last longer despite clogging. i get a closer shave too, especially on my thighs.
Cartridge razor must be used only for the sake of convenience or if you are not skilled enough to use safety razors. i learned shaving by DE razor through youtube and i am never switching to cartridge razor ever again.
I dislike to use that multi blades 1st Expensive Cartridge 2nd Easy to get clog and damn hard to clean it. 3rd Not very sharp actually compare to the DE blade Now I use Open Comb and Close Comb DE Safety Razor 1st Price of blades is very very cheap One piece use two time I change 2nd easy to clean if clogged 3rd high shaving efficiency
Hey... It's about individual comfort. We have both the types available because some people prefer to use a single blade razor and some like system razors. The more important thing is that they are good quality products and whichever you choose, you will have a comfy experience :-)
Well, what you say, Mr. Auto-voice-man all sounds good in theory. My experience is thus: I have shaved with a twin blade Gillette Sensor II for years. About 25 or so. Three years ago to the day (almost) i jumped on the band wagon and got into simple double edge safety razors. My barber sold them. He told me, "well you may not get any better of a shave, just different. Maybe less irritation because the blade only cuts once." Sounded good, so i got one. then I got another, because well, guys love tools. especially nice heavy tools. Professional tools. Beautiful tools. We are succors that just love well made stuff! I was looking for the "perfect shave" that i had not yet found! Then I found the myriad of razor blades that will make the perfect tool, really perfect. Coated, non-coated, open combed vs closed comb razors. You get the idea. Well, The first day I used the "old school" safety razor I learned what the hell a steptic pencil was for and why you would need one. I cut myself more than ever with this new tool than ever with the multi's. then I learned about technique. Oh yeah, now I was in the club of real men, with real tools, expensive tools and I was going to only pay like .03 cent per shave! Oh yeah! I kept at it and stopped cutting myself. now an then it still happens. I decided it was time to try the old Sensor II just for fun after all these, count them, 3 years! All I can say is wow. There is, believe it or not, a reason why razor development has changed. These expensive cartridges are very good. Very good indeed. It took a lot of time to be objective, but I have found that they shave close, they shave fast and most importantly, the do shave very, very comfortably! So with a new set of 100 Feather blades and some Sharks, a ton of Crystals, I will probably use them up or maybe sell them off until they are gone. So which one is better? It is a subjective thing at best. My face says, you're not a real man because you can't shave with a straight and believe me I tired this more than once. No freaking way! There is a reason when you look back in the up to 1905 or so a reason why almost everyone wore a well groomed long beard. Soldiers had mustaches and goatees, because when faced with a straight razor, most of us are real pussies... It freaking hurts! So until they invented a safety razor that was reasonably comfortable, the military allowed beards. go figure that! So, jump on guys, it really isn't the money that matters when you are paying for those expensive multi's. When you count all the singles you are going to start getting, it will make the multi blade thing seem like just normal everyday expense compared to the the hobby or the singles. But you don't need to take my word for it, you get 2 or 3 or 4 new "tools" and try 6 or 10 different brands of blades. You'll have so much fun, you'll probably make a youtube video of yourself in front of a steamy mirror telling all the kids how to really shave. It'll be awesome!
This comment is unjust. You should be more open minded. It is true that a big chunk of this DE movement is just hype. Cartridge are very good and if you dont' mind the price there's no real rational reason to switch to a DE. If you cant' get a BBS with ease and in few minutes with a multiblade, you suck at using them... plain as that.
jimflys2 or maybe your just shit at using a safety razor and btw they made cartridge razors for idiots like you who can't master the art of shaving with a grown up safety razor, so they came up with idea of making a razor with more than one blade and give it a name with "power" or "turbo" on the end, so men with a 12 year old brain will buy it.
@@s.j.l.8736 Do you feel better when you hit the internet and go on a name-calling spree? I've been shaving with safety razors for most of my shaving life but I can acknowledge without behaving like a butt-hurt little snowflake that good cartridge razors beat safety razors when you shave daily and just want a quick, comfortable and clean shave without fuss, without spending ten minutes to a quarter of an hour longer in the bathroom and without having to learn how to whip lather, without having to test out different razor models and brands of blades etc. OK, I'm willing to concede that shaving with a cartridge razor is about as thrilling and challenging as a penalty shoot-out onto an empty goal. ;-) I personally enjoy all the ado in the bathroom, the preparation, the experimenting with different soaps, creams, brushes, razors, blades etc. It means quality time in the morning for me if I take a quarter of an hour to slow down my life a little, to relax and let my thoughts drift. But that is my personal way of relaxation and nobody, neither I nor you nor anybody else has the right to call people names just because they choose to shave in a different way. Who the heck do you think you are!?
We're not questioning Gillette's prowess in manufacturing blades, but we are questioning the basic premise that more blades means a better shave. We're happy to hear your thoughts on why you think this is misleading. Do note that most people who are experts in this field agree with our philosophy.
@@prashantkrishnankutty6038 allot of the blades for safety razors are owned by Gillette, I can't imagine they'll loose everything if most people switched the DE shaving. They won't make as much money but they still have a large market share in the industry of safety razors. Although I can imagine people might actually waste more money trying all the different products available for safety razors.
