Manly YouTuber ♂️: Hey guys, in this video I'm gonna show you how to get the CLOSEST shave that's gonna leave you BABY smooth. For the best results, we're gonna use a straight razor. That's right, there's no substitute for BLADE on SKIN. We're gonna shave our face the same way we CUT our STEAKS, with a big KNIFE. So, if you're ready to enter the world of MANLY shaving, drop that cartridge razor and keep watching.

    lmfao, I ended up getting into cleaning old soviet straight razors (cheaper than the Sheffield ones but also good steel) and foisting them on all my friends/family. As well as getting quite competent at sharpening blades due to trans shaving needs. Legit though, they're waaaaay faster even for just legs and stuff plus if you can splurge for a stainless one basically 20 minutes maintenance once a month or so.

    I thought about picking one up, but I was put off by the learning curve and the blade maintenance.

    I ended up just using a safety razor

    Sheesh, they make safety razors with that many blades? Do you have to change them out? You have a pic? That sounds nuts.

    I read more blades just means more irritation

    Here you go

    there was a small learning curve, since it's so wide and if you're used to a smaller head you can accidentally do some sideways cuts which bleed like a motherfucker, but it hasnt really irritated my skin more unless i do way too many passes and dont lotion immediately afterwards, anyway.

    The best shave I ever got was with a straight razor, should really get one.
