Retro safety razors?
#1
Anyone shave with these?

Thinking about trying one, I hate paying £8 for 4 blade refills, and you just can't get a proper smooth, close shave with multi-bladed razors. I've got quite thick facial hair and they just clog!

How is that safe lol?

Tbf I cut myself enough with modern razors so wouldn't bother with one of them. As for clogging, you have to shave more often to avoid that, I get it as well.

Ive used my old mans one before and its much nicer and you get a much closer shave but you do have to be careful. I have a tendency to just chuck the razor about lol. Agreed though blades are far too expensive!

+1. CBA with wet shaving, just use an electric beard trimmer. Takes 2 minutes tops ThumbsUp

I have been trimming for a while because my beard is proper thick, I have to trim it every 2 days but I just feel like a scruffy bastard. I used to use a cut throat, but it took ages, thought this might be a good compromise.
