Wet Shaving... on a Budget - Part 8 - Bic Twin Select! 

How was the shave for the Trac II? Was it close and comfortable? I was thinking about getting that razor

@@jetsfan4277 I saw a gently used one on eBay for like $10 plus it was lime green so I couldn’t say no. It had original new but ancient blades with it which I tried. It was a decent shave but I wanted to try new blades so I got some Personna cartridges, like 10 for $8 I believe. It was a much better shave. I still prefer safety razors but it is fun to mix it up. I also had never used a cartridge with a fixed head. I’m used to pivoting which is so forgiving. This one still requires some finesse which makes it an interesting combination of safety razor and cartridge razor.

I will. I tried doing one a year or so ago, but I couldn’t get enough of a charge and it died less than 1/2 way through the video. The video never made it up.

I keep them. Either I use them, or my girlfriend uses them. Sometimes I give them away. I’ll often do more than one shave with them or even if I don’t, I’ll use them for quick and dirty shaves. I prefer double edge razor and good creams/soaps and aftershaves, but I use all kinds. I like having a few in my collection at all times.

Nope, sure didn’t!

@@TheDaveShaves It looked liked a pretty good shave, I’ll have to try it again. Last time I used it I got a little bit of irritation

It was a pretty good shave. I do recommend giving it another try. However, I don’t know what kind of soaps or creams you typically use, but I would recommend using higher quality products; that should help you better shave out of it.

@@TheDaveShaves I used the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Sensitive Gel. I’m not sure how that compares to other shaving cream/gel/soap out there

Yes, these suck
