Ah, so you're like Joe Dirt and it only grows in certain places instead of everywhere. Besides, some baws have to be clean shaven or just a mustache for their job

Schick ST2 or Exacta twin blade disposable with tilt head and a cleaning feature that cleans between the blades. I have used them for several years with no issues. On Amazon for 11.00 for 2-10ct packs.

I use Harry’s. Not the best but they get the job done.

Grow a beard.

The key is to shave in the shower after a good face wash and let the steam loosen up your pores and soften the grain. Anything beyond the cheapest disposable razors will get the job done in a hot shower.
Another trick is to store your blade in rubbing alcohol to prevent oxidation and dulling. Makes them last longer and sterilizes them.

Honestly I gave up on this shite.
If I feel I want a clean shave will buy a cheap disposable pack and that will last me a year.
Other than that I just trim it with a #1 to start the week and then don’t shave for a week.

I get 10-15 shaves out of a DE blade that cost 10 cents, the rubbing alcohol cost more than the blades, simply rinse in hot water and hand on stand, no need to make this complicated.

started ordering Dorco blades from Amazon when I found out that is what DSC used.
I switched to Dorco years ago too, they used to allow direct ordering but got in a patent dispute and had to stop direct sales.
Dorco only sells through Amazon now, they still make a great blade that lasts a long time, much much cheaper than DSC markup without the unnecessary marketing costs.

Switch to safety razor and never look back
Yep. I put a new blade in every morning and have never had better, closer shaves.

I've used one blade pro for years. You'd think you've shaved, can use wet or dry. Started using when I had a goatee and did all the trim work as well. No high $$$$ blades in years.

Serious question, can you fly with a safety razor?

Going to beard wax great for me

3 blades are really too many as well. But at least they aren't five blades. I tried Harry's once and found them to be the most uncomfortable razor I've every used in my entire life. After 4 shaves I was done!
I have exact opposite opinion than you about Harry's. They are pretty comfortable, to me.
But, I share your opinion of multi-bladed razors. 3 is better than 5. 1 is probably better than 3 but the razor I use has 3 blades. It's always difficult getting the sideburns properly shaped using a razor with multiple blades.

Amazon DORCO Six Blade
Exact same as the executive blades from DSC and they fit the executive handle.

Not in a carry on. It's has to be in your checked bag.
Probably the biggest pain in the arse of using a safety razor.

Damn, well that sucks. But the few times I travel by plane, I can plan on disposables.
Posted on 7/17/23 at 3:09 pm to HondaBigRed
Schnick Xtreme Sensitive or Equate Wal Mart blue blades. Cheap plastic disposals work fine for me

I generally just use an old Hydro 3 I have in my travel bag on the (relatively) few occasions I have to travel and really need to shave.
Forewarned though, I wanted nothing to do with DE razors and had ZERO desire to try one...until my wife gave me one as a gift. Frankly, I planned to return it without using it, but felt that might be rude. So I let it sit in the box, un-opened, for 3 weeks before finally deciding to give it a try. While it takes a bit of time to become "proficient" in using a DE razor (there is a little more skill involved to get a close shave without nicking yourself), the difference in the comfort level was noticeable immediately. The single blade just glides through your hair with no effort or tugging at all. You hear the hairs being cut, but you really don't feel it.
About 6 months later after using the DE exclusively I was caught on the road where I needed to shave, but forgot my DE. I used the Hydro 3 I had in my travel bag (with a brand new blade) and it felt like I was dragging sandpaper across my face. 6 months prior I would have told you that Hydro was the smoothest cartridge I'd every used. Now, I hate the few occasions when I have to use it.

Y'all sold me on the DE. I ordered one with an assorted pack of blades to test out. Figured I can always order some Dorco 3-blades like I loved with DSC if it didn't work out. Thanks OT
