Thread: Do I need a new razor?

I sported a big ole mustache for years then grew chin whiskers. Until one day while shaving my razor was really doing it. I mean it was going too nicely to stop. It took a while for my upper lip to get use to being shaved again but, I'm starting to get use to the new me look. Anyway, I've never thought of that needing a particular shape blade excuse for razor acquisition. Let me know if it works and maybe I'll try it.

Regards

Chasmo

Absolutely, you need at least a couple more: square and french point

Add a stubby to that inventory as well. A Kami too??

And a barbers notch.

Personally, I sport a 'circle beard', and happily use a round point (Kropp 5/8), spike point (C.V.Heljestrand frameback) and a... er... Mandarin (?) blade (A&W Arbenz frameback). With practice and care, I've been able to maintain my beard shape without much trouble.

short answer,no.

I have a goatee and I shave with round point only, the growth pattern on my neck is left to right, so ATG is going sideways. Using a spike point will probably result in a BBS + tracheostomy. I use the whole of the blade to shape: going toward the edge of the beard to define it, and from that line outward to clean it. But my beard and mustache are not separated...
Was actually thinking about a kami, but I'm a southpaw, as well. So I need to find a left handed one...
