Best men's razor? Non-electric.


Recommended Posts

What is the best men's razor out there? My step-dad asked for one for Christmas, a non-electric one, and I haven't a clue. TIA!

 

Would he enjoy joining the (small) trend of men who are returning to traditional wet-shaving and using old-school double-edged razor blades?

 

The blades are much (much) less expensive and the results are (once past a learning curve) better, but there is an element of skill (and manliness) involved in using a double-edge, single-edge, or straight-edge razor.

 

The modern multi-bladed cartridge razors can deliver a pretty good shave, even when used "thoughtlessly." Traditional wet-shaving is much more zen-like. Some guys just want to "get her done" (and have no interest in re-claiming lost arts) while some fall in love with the manly ritual.

 

If you think he might enjoy wet-shaving I can offer some suggestions that won't break the bank.
