The Single Blade Razor Thread (Double Edge / Cut-Throat)

[Kosmik]

I have contemplated the cut throat a few times recently, might be a present to myself in a few months...

and on the cheap blades stuff, I agree.. SuperMax uber alles really.

I did find this page somewhat amusing though : https://gillette.co.za/en-za/shaving-tips/how-to-shave/straight-razor

Its not really a big difference if you use an open comb DE, just watch your nose and your facial edges. Takes longer the first while but I reckon I take close to the same time now as with a DE, blade is so easy to clean and thats always been my problem with shaving ( clogged blades ),

Sorry for thread necro, just had to drop this here.

Started using DE razor 6 months ago, no regrets. You have to get a decent razor though, the Lion and Bic brands just won't do it.

A decent razor is expensive, but it will last you forever and even the expensive blades are cheap. works out to about R2.50 a blade and I get a months worth of shaving out of it. Around 8 shaves.

Thanks for the necro, I graduated to a single blade cutthroat now, takes longer than the DE but damn it gets close. Bought a blue beard shavette and then was gifted a beutiful black carbon steel one from a site on facebook. That one is wrapped but I'll use it for travel or once the other "breaks".

On cheap blades, supermax > lion any day, find lions not as sharp.

I have found Muhler blades to be best for me.

I tried Bluebeards, but they don't shave as close as Muhler.

I buy them online from Mantality.

Should you guys want to buy some real shaving equipment.

I have no affiliation to the seller, just used him in the past and the service is beyond brilliant. Even if you mail him on a Sunday he will immediately reply to all questions and concerns.

He has some real quality products.
