        Every other form of shaving is torture.

        Like I really didn’t believe the hype until I got one. I was scared at first of nicking myself, but I haven’t done it once in the two years I’ve used it

        Those are solid. I found Voskhod razors E X T R E M E L Y consistent between blades and comparably as smooth as platinum, nacets, silver blue.

        I cut the shit out of my face with just about everything else I tried.

        If anyone reading this is new to shaving, I would recommend Gillette as a good starting point and then try other brands. Don’t get a variety pack, because you get a bunch of shit blades.

        I use Creamo shave cream and like it. It’s cheap as fuck, and nice and thick. You can control how thick with how much water you use. I found other creams get pretty watery pretty quickly

          I spent $100 for 105 packs about 10 years ago, and I still have about 25 packs left. Although, I did go through long periods where I had a beard for a several years.

            Sorry, I just made a quick exaggeration of the price. I just got 10 for about $15 a month or so ago. That was the only pack I could find at the drug store. The previous one was a 100 pack, but it was probably more than $20.

            Regardless, much better than the new 5-blade heads. They’re expensive.

              Sorry, I edited a little typo there. But yeah, those cartridge blades are outrageously expensive. Safety blades are super duper cheap.

        Yeah, I’m trying to get my wife to switch because she always complains about a less-than-smooth shave and ingrown hairs with “normal” razors, both legs and bush lol. I haven’t shaved since like 2014 (I only use an electric trimmer), but if I did shave, it would be with a safety razor.
