I haven't shaved my face in over two years. I do shave me head tho and i just use the cheap ass disposables since i only do it so often. Would love a nice straight razor shave someday tho. Should start looking for a barber shop.

I'll never go back cartridge type blades.
I just won a vintage straight razor in a raffle, first save should be interesting. lol
Sharpen and strop the blade first

Any one else that can't, or won't, put a blade to their face? I haven't shaved clean in over 5 years. My beard is so tough and curly I get bad ingrown hairs every time I take it all the way down. The double edged safety blades were the best for me, still had to change the blade every time I shaved. I just buzz it with clippers now.

I stepped on a nail when I was younger. 8th grade. The nail went through the joint of my big toe. Got blood poisoning(standard) but I also got pseudomonas in there too.
6 weeks of IV, 2 surgeries later, I finally was released out the hospital.
Fuck needles and especially fuck IV catheters

That is how I do it also! If I let my whiskers soak a minute, the shaver glides through. I've been getting MONTHS of play out of a single Bic disposable.
I also have two straight razors - an '80s Puma 4/8 and an Iwasaki forged from laminated steel. Now that I also have a 12000 grit waterstone and the means for keeping it flat, the edges are finally good.
There's also the 1930s Dovo, but I gifted that to the boy. He likes to shave with it and knows it is looking for ways to rust.
We used the cheap Bic disposables, single use only one can do an entire body.

I tried your dry no lift technique. Scary effective.

This is me. I get pseudofolliculitis barbae whenever I shave too close, so now I just trim near with the clippers. Win/win for me, it's easier with clippers, and I have a medical reason to have stubble.

I use the el-cheapo Personna disposable twin-blades and get 2-3 months out of 'em
I also shave against the grain and stretch my skin so the whiskers stand out straighter, that way the razor cuts closer
