quattro goodness for me, if the hair builds up in the razor i sometimes run a toothpick thru it to get some out, it doesnt seem to dull the blade and it lasts longer then a week. Anyone ever see that “disposable sharpener” i guess it works on any of those throw aways an claims to make them good as new. ---

^^^ group buy??? lol I share a mach 3 with the gf. she buys the blades so idc. a blade lasts a week or two - until the blue stripe is gone. In the hunt for hot foam shaving cream I stumbled onto this site: a lot of good info. [http://shaveblog.com/](http://shaveblog.com/) I still havent really found anything like the barber uses to edge me up with a straight edge. that shit is hot and I love it. ---

I use dispoable mach 3s, they are really cheap and I get a great shave with em, buy em at BJs in bulk if you are so concerned about cost. I get straight razor neck trims and so on but only if I know the barber is knows what he is doing, then yeah, I prefer one, but honestly, I would never take a straight razor to my own face, I know a barber, a professional barber for shear ego(that super expensive place) and he cut his hand shaving his face with a straight razor and almost bled out THROUGH HIS HAND! He won’t go near a straight razor under any circumstances now. Honestly, yeah they are badass but I don’t trust them. I own one which I use as a tool/weapon and thats it, that thing only goes near cardboard boxes and anyone who wants to fuck with me lol. ---

I used to have the badger hair thing and then disposable razors. Worked great, too much time. So I got a badass electric one for Christmas and been using it ever since, being able to shave anywhere anytime is a great thing. ---

once a week in the winter usually with the mach 3, my face gets all kinds of raw in the cold so i opt to be lazy and conserve razors. ---

I work outside and don’t shave. Facial hair helps when its single digits with a negative wind chill. When I do shave, I just use a beard trimmer and get as close as I can with it. I haven’t been baby ass smooth in a long time. ---

I use hair trimmers for the beard with a #3 guard adjusted halfway. Then no guard for mustache trimming. Then after I use a hot washcloth on my neck, shaving cream and then shave with a Mach 3. I change razor blades about every 3-4 months. I shave maybe twice a week. and trim my beard ever month maybe. I also condition it so it doesn’t itch and is soft. LOL ---

reg mach 3 turbo is the best for me, I have a thick ass beard if i dont shave. The new fuzion isnt bad but is a bit much. Ive never really fucked with electrics because they cut my face and scare me lol, that and they dont shave close enough. ---

Disposable mach 3s are cheaper then replacement mach 3s at most places. I think it is the best all around cheap razor and I use some gay fusion shaving cream or something that smells good. I use an electric first then mach 3 it. The fusion seems overboard. I would straight blade if I thought I had the skills but I think I am gonna go frys route that shit looks like it can do a panty dopping shave. ---

Schick Quattro ftw. The blades last a few weeks and I shave every morning. Can’t remember the last time I cut myself ---

> [@fbrendan](#): > > I plan on switching old school soon. Some people get way to serious with it though. lol im pretty sure your referring to fry? 🤣 But seriously, if your going to shave, you might as well do it the proper way. I know Fry said i cheaped out, but whats the sense in spending 100’s of $$$$ on something when you dont even know if your going to like it or be good enough to continue it.
