@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 @AmpBenzScientist @freemo I'd say it's easy or the same, sometimes sharper as it's thin sharp metal as new (it dulls as you use more than once each time depending on your hair thickness and then you can flip sides if it accepts the whole double sided razor at the head (or I forget maybe all you have to break in half). So same kind of logic applies, to go with the skin (flat) rather than digging / chopping style or do small chops/scrapes (quite obvious or natural).
Might even be too sharp at first and just lighter hand needed.

I used thin layer of hand soap before so it's even cheaper and glass of water to swish the blade in as finger wipes are obviously asking for trouble but also wiping the metal can take off it's effective layer each side has (can see has slightly different colour at the edges).

Another pic showing:
- razor (used / old) just to see shape.
- Handle is "Majestic" but quite the generic.
- Brush for cream (I thought it was to posh so used watery-soap to keep it ecological and economical.
