@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 @AmpBenzScientist @freemo Ah yeah the picture link are good, better perhaps for having both sides of razor available but if you have thick hair inevitably might collect under and need think wire to clean out what isn't able to swish in a glass.
I'd get both if you're rich ! Keep one for backup. You pictured handle can be a bit loose after a lot of use as often plastic or had metal part but plastic joins that fail (usually they have plastic screw which wears out or head than can literally fall apart so the barber handle can win longevity here with less parts to strain).
