Post your shave of the day here

Definitely a trap. Last night I departed from the beard club and my beautiful Merkur clear cut. Thing of beauty it is.

Rob seems like he needs more to ensure that he has found what he truly enjoys that's all I read there.

Oh, FFS. I order 10 packs of Feathers so I have plenty, thanks. I don't need to order any more until August.

Bomb the new guys!

So I should just look at the brands you have in your picture and send you some that you haven't tried yet?

I used the astra blades today

I feel luxurious

 

[King Kill 33]

I bought a variety pack off Amazon that had a few of each. Tried Feathers, Kai, Bluebird, Astra, Gillette, Persona, and a few others. Personally, the Persona hospital grade blades are what I like the best. The others pull too much or easily nick me. I found the Persona to be the most comfortable shave of em all.

 

[jmartins]

KK I like the Persona also but to me the Feather are the nicest ones cause it keeps from nicking my face. I like the variety packs also they are a basket of goodies lol

 

[King Kill 33]

Yeah, Feather is 'supposed' to be the best, but I'd put them 3rd or 4th on my list based on feel.

 

[jmartins]

Fair enough. Ya I have pretty tough skin and I feel with them that they don't nick my face up. I find the Gillette blades just give me an absolute hack job shave. I get all cut and a rash from it pulled. Thick facial hair does that.
