Throw them in the bin.

If you've still got the waxed paper, they're pretty safe in that. Otherwise wrap tightly in kitchen roll until there's no chance of it cutting through

Did y'all know that we have reached Peak Beard?

We have some big beards news for you today (by which we mean big news regarding beards, not news about over-sized beards) (this post is off to a great start): When beards become too popular, they are actually less attractive to people, according to science.

With this in mind I had a clean shave last week for the first time in ages. I bought a razor that you put a battery in and it vibrates as you shave. It's fucking boss.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I put mine in the back part of the plastic thing they cone in.

[Spy Bee]

4 shaves per blade? I change the blade after every shave, no matter what brand it is. The thickness of my stubble blunts it after 2-3 passes. The Derby blades only work out about 10p a blade.

Seriously? Those Mach blades are hardcore. I can only deduce that you are Superman!

I'm talking about the Derby double edged blades! Serious business this, none of this safety blades stuff.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I get a couple of shaves, three if I can't be fucked with changing it.

[Spy Bee]

Are you doing it right? I reckon I get about ten. 

[PestiRed]

No blades to dispose of with this beauty. Made by the Flaschner family, six generations of master craftsmen expertise and one of the handful of independents still around.

 

 

Removed a large portion of my face getting used to it, but love it now

I can light matches on my stubble it's so tough. Probably.

Try hammering it through, then chewing it off from the inside. Hashtagrealman

I don't have the manual dexterity to use something like that without beheading myself, but I will say that is one fine looking piece of kit. I would own one just to look at it.

Stupid Question lads. I left my washbag in gym over weekend and needing a shave bought a Wilkinson safety razor. Face in tatters but want to persevere.

 

My question is how do you dispose of old blades? Fairly dangerous to just through in bin.

[Archimede]

Bought a Muhle r89 with some Derby blades. Rocking it. Actually enjoy shaving now. ..

Following the advice on here, I switched to feather blades and after a few early nicks am now enjoying the double whammy of a proper close shave plus not having to spunk a fortune into the pockets of Gillette every few weeks. Like others have said, I do actually enjoy shaving now.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I still don't feel I get a close enough shave with the Edwin Jagger. Anybody recommend something a little more aggressive?

[PestiRed]

You could try an adjustable. The Merkur Futur is supposed to be very good

 

 

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I picked up a fancy brush (Edwin Jagger Best Black Badger) and some Taylor of Old Bond Street cream (Sandlewood... not mad on the scent). Now looking at three different razors to complement my EJ DE98. First is the Muhle R41, then two slants: the Merkur 37x and the Merkur 39c.

[Stu Monty]

Shaving wankers.

Get yourself sorted out, FFS.

 

 

 

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I went with the 37c slant. Anybody tried one?

[Sugar Ape]

No, haven't tried one. I love a traditional shave but it takes so much time I rarely bother now, just busy all the time. I do want to get another one though and use it more frequently. I've got my eye on this Merkur travel razor simply because it looks ace.
