Oh yeah. Haven't been shooting in a while myself. Grew up in West Virginia in an area where no one raised an eyebrow if you fired off a box in the back yard. I'm too lazy to "go" shooting now.
Recently, the German Patent on the Merkur Futur Double Edged Adjustable razor ran out and the Chinese started making them.

Just like you don't cheap out on batteries for your mod, you want high-quality blade for your razor.
I prefer the Japanese made Feather Razor Blades at a cost of $23/100 from Amazon.
I get 4 Barbershop Quality shaves per blade at a cost of $0.0575 per shave.
Then you are going to need some shaving soap.
Forget that crap that comes out of a spray can as it dries out your face and get a puck of high-quality shaving soap.
Proraso for $10 per puck from Amazon is a very well known brand and it conditions the skin on your face while delivering a smooth shave will last about 3 months or more.
Now you need a brush to apply to your face.
There are three basic types. Boar, Badger, and Synthetic.
Personally, I really like this one for $16.99
Razorock-Plissoft-Synthetic-Shaving-Brush
Then you are going to need a bowl or a cup to make your lather in. While any household bowl or large cup will work, I really like this one...
Shaving Soap Copper Bowl
Granderbazaar
The textured interior works with your brush to build a really thick lather. Well worth the extra $9
An Alum block is a must at $8 to treat any small cuts you get.
Alum-Block-Soothing-Aftershave-Astringent
A block this size will last for a couple of years.
I also suggest using some Witch Hazel after you shave. It is a natural protection against infection as well as an astringent and really tightens up your face after you shave. At $3.49 for a 16 oz bottle from CVS or Walgreens is well worth it and it will last you 6 months or more.
Then to finish things off, and to leave you smelling nice you will want some aftershave. Bay Rum is a classic and also soothing to your face.
There are lots of different brands and scents available so you are kind of on your own here but overall, I prefer the Clubman brand.
Just like getting into vaping, there is an initial investment cost and with care, your razor, brush and mug/bowl will most likely last you a lifetime and you will find yourself saving a small fortune on blades and shaving soap.
Plus, this way, with some practice, you will end up getting a barbershop quality shave every morning as well as ending up with what I can only describe as an invigorated face every morning.
Or you can go back to crappy canned soap and $23 per pack razor blades that don't even come close to giving you the same results that you get with the above tried and true method.
back to the brushes what's the difference between the different hair types?
Thanks mate
Now that's manly...Oh yeah. Haven't been shooting in a while myself. Grew up in West Virginia in an area where no one raised an eyebrow if you fired off a box in the back yard. I'm too lazy to "go" shooting now.
A couple dripbox 160 pics I took a while back, they seem to be a fit for this thread.
Wow and WTF?
We were taking a brief bit of conversation about the manly art of Double Edged Wet Shaving and this somehow relates to shooting firearms, layers of tools and a Kanger Dripbox sharing on a grimy workbench and what I can only describe as a collection of old shoe soles?
Granted that this can be considered manly and I won't argue this.
But I suggest you go with the flow going on at the moment?
Like is there anything on that table that you would shave with:?
That being said, there is nothing in my shaving gear that can fix a car!
If you take a look back we were talking about tools and this post came long before you started talking about shaving your vaginasWow and WTF?

Lol, seriously though the old school razors are interesting. Was thinking about getting a nice straight razor but good ones aren't cheap and seems like something you really shouldn't cheap out on.
@KingPin!
Looks like they do or did lol, looks like disposable heads tho. The truck is supposed to be by Monday, kinda dread it, love the tools but damn expensive.
See now we are all back on the same topic haha
So a MOD Razor is out of the question?No you are right of course Cromwell
Bad things happen when you shave and vape at the same time
Haha quality
