Learn to Use a Safety Razor and Never Buy Overpriced Blades Again


If you're still using expensive cartridge razors and getting ripped off with each purchase, or worse you're still using disposables, it's time to give them up and learn to use a safety razor. This video from the The Art of Manliness will show you how.

Granted, we've shown you how to use a safety razor before, but this guide is a little easier to follow, and walks you through everything you need from start to finish, from shaving soap to a good shaving brush, and of course, the razor blades and the razor itself.

After all, shaving with a classic safety razor like this not only saves you a ton of money (you'll never have to buy an 8-pack of marked up cartridges for $20 when you can get a 10-pack of safety razors for $5), but it also leads to better, more consistent, more enjoyable shaves. If you feel like shaving is a chore that has to be done, using a safety razor like this can make it a bit more fun and luxurious.

If you're even more daring, we've shown you how to use a straight razor, so you could always go that route as well, or if you're just not ready to give up cartridge razors, there's always Dollar Shave Club.
