Product Review – My Dad’s Razor
I read a great article about shaving. What I learned was: get an old school razor, a badger brush, and some fancy dancy shave cream. So far, I’ve gotten two out of three. Neither Pathmark nor Rite Aid had the shave creme.
My dad gave me his old razor and the guy at airport security disposed of the razor for me. Thank you Mr. Airport Security for disposing of my fifteen year old razor, I wasn’t going to use it anyways. It could have STD’s my dad contracted fifteen years ago and I don’t need that. I need NEW ones. He also gave me the brush, which is in pretty rough shape, but still works fine.
After showering, I lather the ol’ face and then brush upwards like the article says to do. You have to hold the razor at a WAY different angle than a disposable.
Wait, I’m going to write a tangent. Okay, my Mach 3 irritates my neck and face, that’s why I made the switch. I had to give this a try.
Crazy angle. And you don’t press down like with a regular razor, or you’ll filet your face off.
The Verdict: It works. My face is generally as smooth. My neck is less irritated. I can shave more often without tearing my face up. This is good. It actually worked.
How about some negativity after all this positive stuff? Sure! You have to shave slower. I probably take 1.5 times as much time as before. That’s the only negative.
