Random thought that's been on my mind lately. Who here shaves with a safety or straight razor? What do you prefer and why? My face absolutely hates modern multi-blade razors, so I recently decided to try out a classic safety razor. Hopefully in a few days I'll have a package in the mail. Decided to start out with a Merkur HD 34C and got a variety of blades to get a feel for what I like. Despite how I may come off to people sometimes, I am always a big fan of "classic" stuff, and definitely think some (okay maybe a LOT) of that manly panache is seriously lacking these days (at least with younger generations). One of my favorite "modern" icons is Steve McQueen, if that's any indicator. So what do you like to use to keep that manly viking beard in check?
