Just be careful! Many decent double-edge blades have historically been made in Russia or the US, usually under licence of Gillette. I recommend Feather blades which are Japanese and premium quality.
Where do you recommend buying them? I got my last pack ages ago on Amazon (before I shitlisted them), and they were pretty cheap.
Local shops only have some hipster brand, 10 blades for $10 or something, which is insane.
To contrast - given the state of international relations I’ve eschewed a razor of any form so my beard is fluffy enough to protect me from harm.
Does it help with thinking?
I can see through the shallow goals of capitalism so… probably?
I have my German Merkur safety razor that I’ve had for a long ass time. I’ve been curious about Henson’s. But I already have a pretty good one that’ll last me an eternity so it feels stupid buying another one.
Let me know if it’s really worth it. Is the shave really that better?
I really like mine. I have a Merkur as well as an aluminum Henson, but it’s they’ve both been in the drawer since I got my Henson TI. It’s 100% the last razor I’ll ever need.
Feather blades work great in it!
It’s also the last razor I’d be able to afford. Sheesh! 😆
Buy it for life isn’t cheap, but the aluminum one is quite affordable and functionality identical. I just wanted to treat myself.
Is that like a subscription model for razors? You know you can just buy razors online when they run out, right?
Nope, I’ve had the same one for over a year now, it’s a nice aluminum handle that accepts generic blades. They’ll sell you blades too if you want, or a handle out of more expensive metal, but there’s no way to subscribe, which is part of why I bought from them.
