Yeah, I wanted to ask about that too

2018-07-24 08:16:36 UTC  

Tho i admit that safety ones are good option too

2018-07-24 08:16:39 UTC  

Don't want chink razors, I think

2018-07-24 08:17:09 UTC  

But I'll put them in that chink shaver

2018-07-24 08:17:09 UTC  

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

2018-07-24 08:17:24 UTC  

Oh, you can make it longer/shorter?

2018-07-24 08:17:34 UTC  

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

2018-07-24 08:17:46 UTC  

Figures but I didn't know those things do that

2018-07-24 08:17:48 UTC  

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

2018-07-24 08:17:55 UTC  

with time

2018-07-24 08:17:59 UTC  

Okay

2018-07-24 08:18:07 UTC  

What razors do you use with that?

2018-07-24 08:18:32 UTC  

I generally use Astra Platinum or Feather blades

2018-07-24 08:18:34 UTC  

off amazon

2018-07-24 08:18:49 UTC  

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

2018-07-24 08:18:57 UTC  

Oh, nice

2018-07-24 08:19:21 UTC  

Though
>chink steel

2018-07-24 08:19:30 UTC  

The pasta comes back

2018-07-24 08:20:00 UTC  

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

2018-07-24 08:20:05 UTC  

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

2018-07-24 08:20:19 UTC  

Yeah, I don't want chink blades

2018-07-24 08:20:33 UTC  

Just curious which ones to get as I never used them

2018-07-24 08:20:46 UTC  

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

2018-07-24 08:21:16 UTC  

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

2018-07-24 08:22:58 UTC  

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

2018-07-24 08:25:06 UTC  

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.

2018-07-24 08:26:16 UTC  

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

2018-07-24 08:26:23 UTC  

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

2018-07-24 08:26:50 UTC  

Yeah

2018-07-24 08:27:20 UTC  

Okay, fuck the stand.

2018-07-24 08:27:25 UTC  

I just ordered the shaver.

2018-07-24 08:27:31 UTC  

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.

2018-07-24 08:27:51 UTC  

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

2018-07-24 08:28:55 UTC  

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.

2018-07-24 08:29:39 UTC  

Sell me on cream and brush shit

2018-07-24 08:30:24 UTC  

Canned goods works fine, nice soaps/creams are just nicer, and you need a brush to really lather then up good.

2018-07-24 08:31:44 UTC  

They smell pretty, and are more lubricating, cost less in the long run(say, 4th can of goo runs out around the same time as that soap that cost 2x as much)

2018-07-24 08:32:02 UTC  

Is it really better than standard nu-shaving gel?

2018-07-24 08:33:37 UTC  

If you get decent stuff, yeah. If you get cheap supermarket garbage, then it's really only good if you're one of those people who decide shaving is some kinda personal time/morning ritual thing. I ain't about that.

2018-07-24 08:34:15 UTC  

Just stick with the goo you have for now, it takes some getting used to a safety razor, angles and all that, less variables the better.
