You really believe that putting shaving cream inside a razor is a real innovation and value add for end users? I grow a fairly hard beard, so for me, a comfortable, painless experience is the biggest factor. As long as you can give me good blades that don’t die after being used 2 times, I’d be a happy user. I couldn’t care less about shaving cream in the razor.

Some years back, I gave up on shaving entirely and got a cheap electric trimmer/clipper. I’m on sort of a continuous cycle between substantial beard and vague-appearance-of-5-o’clock-shadow. My face no longer looks like I attacked it with sandpaper, most days I don’t even have to think about my facial hair situation, and I can’t remember the last time I dropped a dime on razors, shaving cream, or aftershave.

Also, I write code for a living. I will freely admit that I’m not working very hard to overturn any stereotypes here.

I’ve tried them all: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 blades. 4 and 5 blades seemed about the same to me, but the very best razor I have ever shaved with is the Shavemate Titan6 razor. It has 6 blades, more than the rest but the best thing I like about the Titan razor is that it has shaving cream inside. Titan razors shave very close and smooth and I like that everything you need to shave with is all inside the razor itself. It is all-in-one. I spend a lot less money using Titan razors compared to all the other stuff I used to buy to shave, and the Titan makes shaving a lot easier. You can find Titan razors on http://www.shavemate.com .

Haha, that was hilarious. My dad used to have this single razor Topaz blade thing in which you could replace the blades on your own. I have a feeling that worked better than the razor I have right now.

I’m sure it does. Somehow I’m very scared with those “ustaras” though …

Yes, bladed shaving has gone rapidly downhill since 1998. I’ve tried most and have had to settle for the Disposable Schick Xtreme 3 Comfort plus, with the flexable heads. Despite all the added tech the actual cutting blades seem worse than those I used a decade ago.

… and given Brent’s Onion link ( read it first ) and this blog’s affiliations I can do one better …
