If you want to try out a safety razor, you don't need to get a brush or great soap

You can do it after, gradually.

Can I just use normie shaving gel?

@Raikon link me up on that shaver, are they on Ali?

What does the adjustment do? <:blobthinkingeyes:427568214579609601>

Just get proper razors gents

Yeah, I wanted to ask about that too

Tho i admit that safety ones are good option too

Don't want chink razors, I think

But I'll put them in that chink shaver

The adjustment essentially allows you to choose how aggressive you want the razor to be

Oh, you can make it longer/shorter?

People tend to not recommend adjustible razors to newbies, but you can just set it on like 2 and forget

Figures but I didn't know those things do that

and then adjust it as you shave and get a feel for it

with time

Okay

What razors do you use with that?

I generally use Astra Platinum or Feather blades

off amazon

The razor comes with 5 chink blades, but they aren't bad at all.

Oh, nice

Though
>chink steel

The pasta comes back

I have 1 chink straight razor and it does as good job as <luxury gift name here>

Astra blades are so cheap on amazon, not even worth looking into Ali for cheaper chink steel

Yeah, I don't want chink blades

Just curious which ones to get as I never used them

I didn't cut myself in teenage years so no experience

Do you have that holder? Does it stand properly? @Raikon

Actually, what the fuck do I need a stand for?

Stand is optional mostly. Just makes it look nicer on the counter. Probably helps it dry a bit faster, letting them sit wet is one of the biggest things that dulls blades.

Adjustment changes how far the blade is up from the guard. More distance means more aggressive.

Can't you just open it up so it dries fast?

Yeah

Okay, fuck the stand.

I just ordered the shaver.

But that's more effort, and you need to be careful not to touch the blade. Don't even wipe them, if they have a coating it can wear that.

It's one of those things that doesn't REALLY matter.

Also, first impression on that brush: softer and stiffer than my cheap badger hair. After using it: it's shit, won't lather well, spend $8 for proper animal hair.
