@freemo You mentioned shaving preferences. This is my favorite way. It feels like nothing else to get a good shave with one of these.
Maintenance isn't too bad.
@AmpBenzScientist @freemo The very cheap plastic handle version is worth a shout also, using double sided thin metal 'Gillette' (or similar) semi-reusable / disposables. Seems totally opposite to the one piece but just saying it works...
1 pack of 10 = 20 sides = lot of shaves. Bulk buy = cheap = "for life" stock in big stack.
No maintenance with that (can you say more about maintenance with 1 piece, usually has leather strap on it's box which isn't in your picture but not sure if that does much anyway other than clean mostly and look good occasionally swiping each side of metal fffft fffft !).
@freeschool @AmpBenzScientist @freemo My husband wants to switch to one of these but is a little worrid about the learning curve. He currently uses one like this https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/46a74d40-507f-401e-ac6c-219ff8175da0_1.9fbd291dfec985b8890ad8cc1d859570.jpeg How easy are the straight razors to use?
@jellycrystals @freeschool @freemo It was a very thrilling experience to use for the first time. After a small pass on my face, I immediately went to my neck and shaved it.
I've never managed to cut myself with the razor but then again, it would require me to resharpen the edge. It's the steam engine of razors. With that said, it will last a lifetime.
People will often use their thumb on a knife edge to see if it is sharp. If they do it on a razor, that edge is ruined and will need resharpening. So three sharpening stones and a good strop are highly recommended to keep one good and sharp.
