Black handle safety razor

[KGCTJ]

The key to keeping any blade sharp is keep it clean oiled and dry I know the paradox there but most blades need a wee bit of oil and there is a device that will keep your blades for a great while...I have one that I have been using for a month on my disposable and it is sharp as day 1 for $20 it was well worth they try

I shave with a DE (double edge) or "safety razor" and like it much better than the popular razors today. I would advise you to be extremely careful with the Feather razor blades. From the postings on the forum I frequent, shavemyface.com, they are wicked sharp. Most on the forums would recommend you start with a different blade and move up to the Feathers as you gain experience. I'd start with double edge blades you can buy at the local drug or grocery store. That's what I'm using currently.

Also, be aware that this can be highly addicting. You will get a much better shave my using a quality brush and shave cream than anything you can get out of a can.
