This I a very timely topic. I've been experimenting with different disposables for two months because I'm tired of throwing away money on the almost $20 per 4pk of disposable cartridges. I have a Homer beard that grows back 10sec after I shave so blades dull quickly. 100 blades for less than $15 plus a handle sounds worth a try.
Does anyone who is using a double edge safety razor have a blade recommendation? There are too many to chose from and I would like to limit my experimentation to what works well for others.
Does the weight of the handle make a big difference in the closeness of the shave?
Thanks all
Ive only shaved about 7 times now and used only Merkur and Derby blades for them so I cant give you much info on personal experience. I can however Give you info on what I have researched So take it with grains of salt and such.
Derby seems most popular for the cheap mid range blades. The weight and handle length is personal comfort for keeping it at the proper angle. Its A mix and match game till you get the proper setup for you. Picking a good shave cream seams to make a big difference. I tried a few different and it makes a HUGE difference. So far locally available without using a brush "Bump Stop" shave cream worked best with No burn at all.
