FIRST, I am not a SHILL for Merkur

FIRST, I am not a SHILL for Merkur.
I've just had THE best shave I have ever had. Some of you are shaving and some of you are about to shave. DON'T BOTHER with plastic razors or electric shavers. Just buy a Merkur Razor (mine is a 34C). They're not too expensive, will last a lifetime and the blades over the long run will be MUCH cheaper.
Also the blades are sharper and you'll get a closer shave, no razor burn.

Here's what I have:

Merkur Razor 34C
100 Feather Blades (in my opinion, the best) bought from Ebay
A tube of Proraso shaving foam
An Omega 49 shaving brush (badger hair is best but this is a decent budget brush)
A ceramic cup from the cupboard that i use as my shaving scuttle.
A stand for my razor and brush.

safety razors are becoming hip again, but I cut myself too often.

I go with Harry's. I love the design and I maintain the blades myself by cleaning and keeping sharp.

I have a merkur
But I don't know the model
It is much better for those who don't shave daily
It doesn't get clogged up, or if it does, you just unscrew it and rinse

I want to shave daily but I get such bad ingrown, any suggestions? Currently have an electric razor, but I don't want to buy anything else till I know it'll be better

Guess what, faggot? I shave with a straight razor.

Have you tried KAI razor blades user? much better than feather imo.

get everything here What are you not getting?

You can't tell people to use old style razors without telling them that using one to shave is completely different than using a modern shaver. Without this warning, all you are doing is making an enemy for life of old razors.

Noope, i've tried derby and Merkur, i'll look into those when my Feathers runout in 2 years time, thanks user!

This 1080 high-carbon steel is amazing.

I use a badger brush and ceramic bowl.

This is the only way to shave. Anything else is just shameful to the beard.

If your blade is sharp they're FINE. Same technique as the shitty plastic razors.

Feather blades are the best.

My safety razor isn't a Merkur, but it's just fine. Decent weight to it.

Can you chop tomatoes with that too?

Here's mine and I love it! Closest shave I ever get and I have to shave daily. With this I can shave one day and the next just touch with with an electric razor. I have a goatee and its great for clean shave lines around it. I have two more in my closet, if and when this one fails. Had it for about two years now.

>Merkur shill spotted

Trust me, a straight razor will give the best shave ever.

1) Stop using electric shavers, they pull-out the hair as opposed to cutting it,

2) try wet shaving like OP suggested.

such a shit setup to have in 2016

Yes, but it would fuck the blade up, probably rust it as well.

Don't you shave with water? Won't that rust it too?

>2 edgy

Cancer. Always cancer.

ITT beardless manchildren. Enjoy being virgins forever. My beard and I will try not to drown in the pussy you'll never get. Faggots.

With plastic razors I could shave with/against the grain with little to no risk of razor burn or skin irritation.
This is not the case with safety razors. With those I have to shave in two stages. First with the grain, then against it.
This effectively doubles the time ti takes me to shave.

But still, I am glad I made the step away from Gillette's plastic shit. I enjoy those 8-10 minute long ceremonies before showering.

Also, Mühle here, don't know the exact model.
Picture still related.

I have to put mineral oil on it immediately after shaving.

*Tips fedora

Yes. Iiterally edgy.

Lol I use a DE to do my cheeks/neck, f off dirty beardo

My razor setup...

Tfw can't shave cus have skin aids

EDGELORD detected.

Does that come with a fedora?

Merkur uses a cheap zink alloy in their razors. Will not last a lifetime.

ez lvl bait.

Straight razor fag reporting too
Proraso shaving soap- you neither need the cup using that
Proraso pre shave cream, just because i like its smell
Omega shaving brush (one for home, one for traveling)
Potassium alum as aftershave.
Once you shave that way, you'll never come back again

Blades costs 2-3 bucks per pack, and sometimes i get for free.
