Straight razor every single morning.

It doesn't take any longer than any other shaving method yet produces vastly superior results.

I picked this up at Costco and really like it. The blades glide smoothly and I can re-use it a few times before it starts getting dull. I wipe the blades down with alcohol before use.

How often do you sharpen?
I have a rotation of razors but if I use the same one every day it last about 3 weeks before it starts tugging. I have a wicked beard so it wrecks edges faster than normal.

I've since switched to a shavette and I put a new blade half in every morning. I switched because I sent all of my straights out for honing and I wasn't happy with the edge that came back and haven't been motivated to rehone them myself. Shavettes are much less forgiving but are sharp as **** which makes for a faster shave so it has its benefits.

I tried a straight razor for a couple of months a few years back. I really wanted to like it but never got the hang of it.
It took a good 6-9 months to become proficient.

There's so much horrific advice and tutorials on youtube that it doesn't surprise me when people struggle.

Norelco OneBlade no guard for cleanup and big guard for trimming. I don't plan on touching a razor to my face ever again.

Have a beard, shave the remainder 2 times a week.

Gillette good news 2 blade, no pivot, fixed head

Always dry shave, a little warm water prior to soften.

That's great, but they're BLM Flavor-Aid drinkers too.

Seriously, shit I've heard nothing of it...sigh

Don't feel bad. This BLM *********** support is sickening. Problem is I/you/we can't get away from this. I won't even go to McDonalds anymore for a shake or coffee.

I patronize amazon, one of the companies with the deepest throat to suck the marxist BLM's dick.
