Safety Razor Gang! Wya?: I need to know what's the best Double Edge blade brand to buy?

[Guvnor]

Well I recently switched over to Safety Razors as an attempt to lessen my razor bumps.

I used to be nestle crunch junior out here but I could say so far it has been a success with me having noticeably less razor bumps.

I purchased this safety razor from Amazon

However the blades were trash so I bought Feather blades

Feather blades are good however I'm a beginner so every time I use them I cut my face and am bleeding from one or two nicks. I need a blade I could use either for more sensitive skin or that is sharp enough for a close shave without cutting me. Once I get more accustom to the safety razor then maybe I will switch back to the feather. Any suggestions?

Tried that and I still looked like a Crunch bar.

Try Personna blades

+ boar brush + a good shaving cream

I switched to a shorter razor and it helped with handling (ie less cuts)

Feathers are good, but those prices on Amazon are a joke.

Heck nah, those are overrated and overpriced. Plus I can't shave electric, it never gives me a good shave and I bump up more with that kinda thing. Appreciate the suggestion though but just won't work for me.

Feathers are good but just too sharp. I'm new to safety razor shaving and so I nick myself with a feather blade.

Only thing that works is a clipper..

It could also be the Razor (Shaver?). They have different blade angles. Some are more aggressive.

I tried Personna blades....then went back to the Outliners

What shaver are you using? I was using Bevel & Merkur

If you can't use blades or electric, your last hope is Magic Shave

 

[Balla]

Only clippers gonna work breh

Viking. Feathers were too sharp for me.

Shave my head with them, never get bumps. I shave with the grain always, apply rubbing alcohol after, then use Bump Patrol.

I see, I hear a lot about the Merkur 34c. Is that a good one?

It's in the OP, the Amazon link.

I actually have that one, it's more aggressive than the starter "Feather Popular Double Edge Safety Razor". It shaves better, but if you cut yourself you really cut yourself.

Type of razor & blades, razor angles (against, with or cross cut) , skin & shave prep options need to be exhausted before Magic is brought in the picture. That shyt is the worst
