Wetshaving.
It's actually a pretty common way of shaving, but I'm enthusiastic enough about it to post stuff online.
For me it was how ludicrously cheap it is. I boug a razor for 40$ cdn and ordered a box of blades for 30$, this was more than a decade ago. Im almost done the box.
I want to stop using my disposable but I fear for my lily soft cheeks. Someday I will be brave
Wetshaving is actually easier on skin if done right, as you have wider selection of blades for different skin/hair types, allowing you to greatly customize your shaving experience.
Also, you normally get a better result, so your cheeks will be even more tender :)
straight razor, my man. used to get terrible razor burn and lots of small cuts from disposables (of all types, and the whole Gillette 5 stacked blades are just a very expensive scam imo). switched to a nice straight razor and it's a whole new world. love the ritual, too.
downsides would be the cost (but you never pay for a disposable again) and the slightly steep learning curve. also may be frowned upon in a carry-on on an airplane, and I don't trust baggage handlers to not brutalize my checked in luggage. so I just go feral if travelling for a couple of days or use an obscene amount of bubble wrap.
Nice! Did that for a long time, got pretty deep into it. Over a dozen DE razors, some straights, I had brushes and soaps and all that.
Eventually I settled into a routine with a feather asd2, Astra blades, and clubman's shaving cream in a tub.
I have super coarse whiskers, they mostly grow straight down but I get some swirling, especially on one side of my neck.
I was able to do my whole shave in one pass, mixing WTG, XTG, and AGT depending on where I was on my face.
So I started wetshaving for the nice experience, but ended up with fast efficient shaves. Still though, I'd occasionally not have enough time, and I'd use the electric. Even though it was nowhere near as close, it was even faster.
Recently I've started to grow a beard, so I haven't shaved in a couple months. This is the first time in my life I've tried growing a beard, so we'll see.
I'm sure my wetshaving skills will come in handy for trimming and cutting a line on my beard.
I love my DE razor. Shaving is a much more mediative experience with a proper brush and soap than cream from a can, also gets a much nicer shave. Plus the science of finding the right blade and razor combo was fun. Doesn't hurt that I spend like £10 per year on shaving now (very much a guess but it's dirt cheap for blades and soap lasts forever).
