Thread: Most Popular Way To Shave

From your personal experience and overall knowledge of the subject, which method of shaving is the most popular: Straight Razor, Safety Razor, or Cartridge Razor? If you can, please give a percentage for them. Thanks!

Electric razor, 100%. Braun rules the universe.

On this site...straight shaving, of course. In the rest of the heathonistic world, most likely safety razors...poor, poor bastards.

I think it's electric, not sure. I know many who use both electric and Mach3/Fusion razors.

I would assume cartridge or electric. most of my friends use those two methods. Some of my friends also use straights and DE safety razors

You could try to estimate by tracking world wide sales numbers for gillette, schick, braun, phillips, and norelco. Should be interesting.

good luck!

My guess would have to be ..... the electric razor method being the higher pecentage for convienence then the cartridge shave second.

Cartridge razor for worldwide. Even some of the wrappers of my favorite DE blades in "traditional" shaving countries like India are advertising cartridge razors!

I once read a survey about this very thing. In Europe the Electric reigns supreme as it does in Japan. In the U.S its the modern cartridge and in the developing world the DE is king.

Actually, this is somewhat regional.

In the U.S., cartrige razors dominate
In western Europe, electric razors are more the norm
