I have been hesitant to go with the safety razor.
I'm not worried about nicks, but it seems like you have to buy a bunch of products just to make it work - pre wash, pre oil, lather, post shave oil. Plus I'm not interested in the nostalgia of shaving in the last century. It just seems like a big damned hassle.
Right now I'm using the cartridges and a cheap can of shave cream in the shower and want to get it done in a hurry. Can you quickly run a safety razor without cutting up your mug?
I do. Hot wet face, Barbasol and a safety razor.
I just like the puck soap & brush better instead of the canned stuff.
However I do keep a can of Barbarsol around just cuz it's quicker some mornings.
Just like mathman, wet face, lather, shave. No pre & after shave stuff.
I needed to go a little slower with the blade when I switched to a safety razor, but not enough to make me get up any earlier.
