Yep, I threw my Gillette’s out and switched to Schick. :)

Go electric like Dylan. And leave the blade rat race.

I've never had a good shave from an electric. Maybe I just don't have the face for it

Waiting to run out of the shit that I purchased before the whole thing. Definitely switching. Thing that really sucks is the old spice deodorant. I’m so used to them. I use the one with the holes on top. Fuck it. I rather stink like sweat, then let them have a single dollar of my hard earned toxic money. I definitely have that toxic masculinity shit in me, because I’m a NYC plumber. Maybe this huge city will have (ladies) doing all this crazy shit we do at work soon. I hope I live long enough to see them do all the work that dudes do. I probably have a better chance of getting abducted by aliens though.( P.S. Please recommend the next best matching razor to Gillette.)

feel your pain. Used the Old Spice Fiji anti-p for years. already threw out my Gillette shave handles. (still have a bit of gel to work through). My issue is how much P&G shit is in the house. Paper products, detergents, other cleaning products. But I buy everything (Chief Purchasing Officer) so the P&G ban, hassle that it is, will be put into effect.

I prefer an unscented deodorant and use Mitchem. I went with the DSC quad. I've yet to put it to face but the handle and blades look to be of very good quality.

Never bought em in the first place so unfortunately I can't do much to help out.

Mine just arrived today and I did the same with my gillete. I could get used to this shave butter for both the face and the chrome-dome.

I don't shave. I use a Braun series 8, does miracles. No more razors for me and the skin is way better.
[–]42fenrir0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Unfortunately Braun is P&G

I shave using a Braun electric razor when I feel like it but I also like to go and get a proper shave from the Turkish Barbers every few weeks. £12 and worth every penny!!

Been using a safety razor for about 12 years now.
[–]whiskytango74[S] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I look at them and just can't seem to trust myself. Looks sketchy somehow.
[–]_Anarchon_0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It's definitely different. You can't just go after it quickly the way you can do with modern disposables. It's slower, and the results can be better. For me, it turns shaving into more of an enjoyable experience than just something you have to do that you get over with quickly.

I have this hypothesis which is one of the reasons I don't shave at all:
The fashion industry was created and is run largely by homosexual men. They pick female models with boyish traits. Small tits, no hips, tall, stoic facial expression. But men don't buy as much fashion as women do so these homosexual men put women's clothing on man-like women to sell clothes to women. Women then see these models and think that's what men want, which results in women striving for male features.
This striving for male features has only recently been replaced with small waists, big asses and tits due to the music industry and twerking.
So these homosexual men decide what fashion is, including what facial hair should look like. Bears exist but I don't see any bears designing clothes. So it's the feminine homosexual men who determine that facial hair should be removed so as to look more feminine, or whatever the homosexual ideal is.
This goes back to ancient Rome when homosexual relationships was apparently commonplace.
There are some sort-of reasons given for shaving such as lice and how beards can be a detriment in combat. I have a beard. I've been in combat. Nobody grabs the beard and if they do, that's a shit move because now I have your arm and you'll soon have an elbow in your face. I've noticed it helps protect the neck somewhat.
I used to shave. I asked myself the question: why? Why shave? It's not hygiene. Some women say they prefer shaved because beards are prickly. They're not. So that's moot. Combat is a moot point. Even if it was a solid point, where are all these fights taking place? I've had my beard for decades and except for this huge moth that once flew into it and got stuck, I've never had any bugs in it.
Because the job requires it? Why do they require it?
There simply is no answer. People shave because whatever.
Whatever is not a good enough reason for me, so I don't put literal razor sharp razorblades on my face.
TLDR: Shaving is invented by homosexual males who want their men to be more feminine. I'm not homophobic. Hell, I've been gaybashed. I just don't feel like having someone tell me what to do with my facial hair. This is no reason for shaving. Maybe there is one after all and it's the only acceptable one: because the owner of the facial hair feels like shaving it off.
Do you, don't do what society or someone else tells you to do. I suggest growing a beard but GYOW if you feel like shaving it.

I don't have enough density of facial hair to pull off a good beard.
