Straight Razor Vs. Safety Razor? Any Guys Help!?!
Question: Straight Razor Vs. Safety Razor.? Any Guys Help!.?
For x-mas I want to get my boyfriend an old school shaving set that has one of those badger brushes and a straight razor. However, the sets I've found are sooooo EXPENSIVE!! But I do see sets that are a lot less expensive but they include something called a safety straight razor, which seems to be sharper than your average Gilette razor, but i'm not sure.
I know nothing abt male shaving products, and even though I see that those safety razors do come with blades, are they not as strong as the straight razors.? Would he be replacing the blades and keeping the base.? These may seem like silly questions, but picture how clueless guys are when it comes to women's products like makeup, etc!
My b/f really wants a straight razor b/c he has coarser hair and he wants to try it to get a really close shave. Can you guys help me.?! Would the safety straight razor still be efficient.? Thanks for any and all input! : )
Here are the sets, one of each. . .
This is the CHEAPEST straight razor set I found:

Hmm, maybe for a set, but why don't you just buy a few dozen of these, they're like disposable straight razors, lol!

If your guy is a brother he would do well with the Gillette Fusion razor. They have 5 blades and cut heavy hair very very well. They zoom through long hair like when a guy doesn't shave for 3 or 4 days. They shave cleanly without cutting so close that they take off bumps and causing irritation like two blade razors do.
The blades are expensive and are about $4 per piece at the store. But you can buy genuine blades on ebay for $2 a piece. Don't buy from anybody in china, and look for the blades listed as genuine.
Did you know that if after you shave you would place your razor in mineral oil they would stay sharp for a very long time. Shaving doesn't dull the razor, it is basically corrosion that does in a blade. The mineral oil helps prevent the dulling of the blade.Health Question & Answer
