>decide to bite the bullet and transition from a shavette to a real straight razor>people always shill it as being a more minimalistic and less wasteful way of shaving that saves money in the long run>turns out I need to master 'stropping' and 'honing' techniques, buy several different types of sharpening stones, a 'strop' and a microscope >can't for the life of me manage to get it sharp enough to pass the 'hanging hair test'Fuck you guys. So using a shavette with disposable razors is by far the most superior way of shaving? Doesn't look like I'm ever gonna make my money back on everything I've had to spend on all this shit. That's if I can even get it sharp and ever have a half decent shave with it.
ive been using the same safety razor since 2017 and cheapo aveeno shave gel (it claims to be fragrance free but its not but it works pretty well) i do two passes, no irritation like i got with carts.
Get a mach3 like a normal person. The Matt Walsh numale shit is as embarrassing and gay as what it was supposed to be a reaction to at this point. You somehow both ironically and unironically look like a faggot when you suck on a big cigar it doesn't look natural becuase it isn't you're a mtm tranny.
