Once saw a video of someone who forged a knife from old razor blades he found in a wall. There were hundreds. They shaved more often in the old days I presume...
They probably shaved about the same but mostly used double-edged (100% steel) blades that could easily fit in a slot, rather than the plastic-clad, quadruple-blade nonsense sold for $8/cartridge.
You can still buy double edged razors for about 10-15 cents apiece, by the way.
Mhm, that's what I use. Not sure why other people around my age don't, to be honest. Super cheap and you don't exactly have loads of cash to spend at 20
Yeah used DE since my grandpa gave me one of his when I was like 13, his father was a barber by trade and I also have his straight razor collection (which I don't use).
Actually use a mix of DE, disposable, and electric, depending on the purpose. The Philips oneblade and classic Andis foil for face and jawline with finishing DE touch on flat areas sometimes. I know electric on face... used to have acne too but I find they keep my skin barrier more intact by barely not getting to the skin.
I legit use the double edge on d+bs more than anything... sounds like a bad idea I know but for me it's the easiest, quickest, far superior result, and way less injury than any other method. You maybe wouldn't think this but going on every 3-5 days for like 10 years at this point so I'm completely confident in it. An electric with shortest attachment for pubes and around the edges, then the DE on genitals, nothing better.
