Every time I have to buy new blades for my razor I feel like I was ripped off. Really, 30 dollars for six cartridges? You have to be kidding me! I thought there must be a better way, and I imagined to myself a future where I would shave like a man should -- with a knife, not some silly feminine comfort 5 blade piece of crap plastic thing. Anything more than two blades, for the record, is simply egregious.

Voila, I have found the solution! The modern shave is all wrong. It feels wrong, uncomfortable, and ineffective. Well, it seems there is a reason for this! This is not the way men are meant to shave!

Firstly, I've been giving or throwing away any cans of shaving cream I have. I haven't used the stuff for several months. My face has cleared up. My shaves are faster. I use only hot water, but oil or soap works too.
Shaving cream is a racket, like Mr Jeff Tucker says:

Here is a man who says he took Tucker's advice and it worked wonders for his face:

But I've recently come upon an even more important part to correct shaving: the straight razor!
Have any of you men ever gone to a real barbershop where men cut men's hair and there's an old style barbershop pole and they shave your neck with a razor?

Yeah, well this is the thing they use. (By the way, Salons are for women, and it doesn't matter if they say they're unisex. Only men should be cutting men's hair.)

This is what men used to shave with before the recent past.

Here is an account of what I'm talking about, how to use it, care for it, etc.

Using a Straight Razor

I've resolved to use this shaving method from now on, no longer shelling out 30 dollars every so often for something which likely costs a sixth of that to manufacture.

I urge you to consider doing the same.
