Any wet shavers out there?

[gwingo]

My typical daily gear is an EJ89 with an Astra platinum blade, Palmolive shave stick, and a Shavemac silvertip brush.

Merkur 15c with a Feather platinum blade, Proraso creme and a generic badger brush.

I've been using a Gillette Super Speed with Proraso green, an Omega boar brush and a Feather blade recently.

I'm living off of a huge supply of razors that my wife acquired when she went on an extreme couponing kick three or four years ago. Some last longer than others, but generally they work pretty good (except the Bics. Those things are butchers. I think they were designed by Rhino).

Having concluded years ago that the while the true purpose of shaving cream is to be a mild lubricant, the true purpose of the store-bought varieties is to extract exorbitant amount of money in return for basically minor amounts of perfume and lanolin combined with a cheap soap as a carrier and some air (for the foamy cans). Therefore I just get a tiny bit of whatever soap bar, body wash, or shampoo is within reach, lather it with some ho****er, and go with that. Works jim dandy. I'd use Break-Free CLP if it was cheaper than basic hand soap (and didn't smell funny).

ETA: Interesting. When I wrote "hot water" without the space, the INGO Big Brother software apparently thought I was using naughty words and asterisked it. heh.

Ivory soap.

EJ89, Personna reds, TAOS lemon soap, and some obscure boar brush. Switched about two years ago and could not be more pleased with the shaves now. I did spend a good bit of money finding the right blade....

I've got a pretty basic Merkur Heavy DES. Proraso green in a tube, parker brush, and I use feathers. I've got a backup electric for whenver I'm in a hurry, but I definitely prefer my razor. I would say I have $60 invested over 3 years...and expect to maybe be at $100 in 5..mostly due to more Proraso. I paid $20 for 100 feather blades a year or so ago..I don't think I'm half way through it. Penny shave club.

Shave in the shower.. Just soap. Gillette razor don't remember.. It's Orange and black. Razor lasts about a month and I have a tough beard.

You really can't go wrong with the safety razor, those blades are so ridiculously cheap and they do just as well.

Used Glilette since day one. Finally got tired of their high cost and tried Dorco on line for about a fourth the cost. OK but giving 800Razor a chance. Four blades and holder for $15. If they are OK I'll stick with them. Won't go back to Gillette. Wife gave me a Norelco electric years ago but it just didn't cut it.

 

[chezuki]

I use a Gillette with the sharpest blades made for $0.30 each.

 

[Tactically Fat]

Every time I shave, my face skin is wet. So... yes. Wet-shaver here.

 

[HoughMade]

To each their own, but this seems complicated.

I use whatever razor is on sale and water. Maybe once a week, shaving cream.

 

[lovemachine]

I was told on INGO that real men don't shave.

 

[historian]

Merkur long handled
I alternate. I have some Gillette, but the Personna blades work pretty well for me as well (and are a whole lot cheaper).
Proraso green
Nivea Post Shave

I haven't shaved in about two weeks, as I'm growing out the old beard to shave it into the goatee.

Gillette Mach III in shower with soap.

Tip, to add to the blades life, don't leave the razor in the shower.
Blow the water off of it so it dries fast and the blades don't corrode as quickly.

My typical daily gear is an EJ89 with an Astra platinum blade, Palmolive shave stick, and a Shavemac silvertip brush.

Here is a pic of the brush:
