Until about a month ago, I had never used anything but electric. I actually heard about safety razors a few years ago, I think from Art of Manliness, and it sounded pretty cool. Electrics aren't so bad, but cleaning them is a pain, and they get clogged with hair really easy. Plus, while you don't have to change blades very often, it's super expensive when you do. I thought about switching, but it's just something I never really got around to doing. Also I was afraid that shaving with a safety razor would cut me in the face until my face stopped resembling a face. But I finally decided to bite the proverbial bullet and do it.
First I shaved with a two blade disposable and Barbasol for about a week to get a feel for it with something slightly easier. I researched and watched videos, talked to my barber, and went to a local men's gift shop. I got myself a Merkur 23C, a sampler pack of blades, and some aftershave. It went reasonably well, and while I still get cut here and there, it's all starting to come together. Lately I've been experimenting with different blades, but the thing that brought me here was jar shaving cream. I can't get it to work for me, and I thought I needed some expert advice. You guys seem to know what's up, so I joined and posted over in the shaving cream section.
And we'll see where it goes from here.
