Thread: Straight Razor vs. Shavette vs. Safety Razor

I won't suggest which way to go, because only you know the limits of your budget, but, I will say that I'd vote for the straight razor as if you get into the other systems, in the long run, you'll end up spending more money anyway. Like one of the other fellows said, use an old coffee mug for your soap...as far as the shaving soaps go, I've found the Walgreen cakes are a very good soap...makes a rich lather that lasts longer than some of the more expensive soaps I've used...I think you can nail those for about $2.00. I think they have an okay boar bristle brush...

Pass the word to friends, girl friend(s), mom and dad about what you want for Christmas, birthdays, (strops, additional razor, better brush, etc.)

If you can't line it up now, build it up.

Good luck on the shave and in school
