Shopping for new blades for my old razor I realized that the gel used on the blades could not be vegan. I didn't want to check online if they were vegan and as I realized that the blades for my old razor cost about the same as a saftey razor + 5 blades, I bought the safety razor.

Like it so far, was a little concerened to cut myself but slow and steady wins the raze (haha, get it...?) It leaves a tiny, tiny stubble, but maybe that is just me getting used to the new razor. What I like is that it is much easier to clean, since you can remove the blade and rinse it off or even disinfect it. Should I disinfect my blade? Dullsters on the internet, what is your wisdom?

Are you using a straight razor or DE razor?

6 years on one blade is insane! It should dull just from abrasion, no?

Some blades actually get sharper after use too, the shaving process almost strops them.

    DE razor. But yeah, like I said, I'm lazy about shaving, I might shave my sideburns, cheeks, and under my chin every couple months LOL, so that's probably got something to do with it lasting me so long.

    I do have to say this though, my beard hairs can be like an inch long, and I can weed whack almost all of what I shave off in the first pass with it set wide open, and only have to quick clean it once and a second pass gets the rest. 👍
