Shopping for new blades for my old razor I realized that the gel used on the blades could not be vegan. I didn't want to check online if they were vegan and as I realized that the blades for my old razor cost about the same as a saftey razor + 5 blades, I bought the safety razor.
Like it so far, was a little concerened to cut myself but slow and steady wins the raze (haha, get it...?) It leaves a tiny, tiny stubble, but maybe that is just me getting used to the new razor. What I like is that it is much easier to clean, since you can remove the blade and rinse it off or even disinfect it. Should I disinfect my blade? Dullsters on the internet, what is your wisdom?
Welcome to the world of wet shaving! A few comments:
To avoid stubble, I'll do a second round of shaving. Once I've shaved, I'll slap on another layer of shaving soap and do it again.
Also, blades make a huge difference. I've been using Feather blades - I think they're manufactured in Japan - for about a decade now and they're sharper and smoother than anything else I've tried.
Avoid Crystal brand.
