    Buy one made in Italy or Germany...they know how to make an excellent blade.

    go into teh store where I told you to get a shave: http://www.theartofshaving.com/

    they will show you how to shave with a straight razor.
    if you want to start out, go ahead and buy a cheaper blade, just make sure the blade is carbon steel, never buy full stainless in ANY blade. (kitchen, hunting, razor etc)

    A good blade will cost around $120-$200, a strop with oil will be about $40, then you pay to get it sharpened about twice a year about $15, it will last you the rest of your life...how much do you spend on buying razors every year?

    You know I dont know squat in this dept.
    I used to use the most expensive triple action, high torque, face humping badass blades I could find because I hated a bad shave.

    When I actually do a clean shave, I use Mach 3's....otherwise I just use a trimmer.

    Gillette Fusion

    The blade is important, but so is the shaving cream. I prefer Pacific Shaving Company's cream. Their shaving oil is good too. When I have the time, I'll use the badger hair brush in a cup with some Proraso.

    In the house of guys here I agree shave cream does make a huge difference.
    Anthony Logistics is also a good one... Their whole skin care line is nice.

    Costco or Sams Club is a great place to buy blades if they have the kind you like....

    I've also heard you can try putting them in barbicide and that helps but idk if either really work.

    Is it wise for someone to shave their own head with one of these?

    I believe that's what I used when I shaved. I also have a beard trimmer with four different attachment settings. I haven't shaved in a tad over one year. everyday though I wanna shave but do not. I actually have quite the lengthy beard goin on especially around the chin where it's longest. i used to enjoy shaving years ago mostly because I liked the after affect

    Ok here is some useless info, that you could all do without.

    I can NOT use the disposable blades..
    They just tear the holy hell out of my face.
    I have to spend the $20+ and get the good blades.
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    good blades and shaving cream or nothing

    also either soap as after shave or maybe aqua velva (for me anyways)
    anything else burns like a bastard & is probably harming your skin

    electric. i don't trust myself when it comes to putting a razor to my face when i am half asleep, early in the morning before work. it's simple, quick, easy to clean. obviously doesn't give you as close of a shave that a razor does, but whether i use electric or a razor, my five o'clock shadow always show up around noon, so i am okay with doing quick shave jobs with my norelco.

    I never liked shaving cream, so I bought one of those fog-proof mirrors so I could shave in the shower. The mirrors are not fog-proof. I think that may be impossible. But i get a better shave when water is constantly in thwe mix.

    I've never heard of rubbing the blade against one's arm or palm. I did hear once that you could extend the life of the blade by storing them in baby oil after each use. I haven't tried it.

    Shaving in the shower is key. The steam and hot water make shaving easy. I use a handheld mirror and rinse it when I rinse the blade. Takes some learning, but once I got the hang of it, it's the only place for me to shave. I have been using Gillette Fusion blades and Dove soap for a while, but after seeing that dollar shave link, I think I might give those a try. I also use Nivea after shave balm, feels great and the GF loved the smell on me.

    Cheers and be well,

    put a little water in a small bowl, add a few drops of liquid soap, stir well, dip a towel in the solution and wipe solution on mirror...fog free. Or just use Fog-X.

    Women's razors are just not as good as men's, so I use Gillette Fusion ProGlide, and am very happy with them. They last a long time, relatively.
