          Yea but that’s a bullshit razor. All electrical razor have built in obsolescence,and will never give you the closeness and longevity of a safety razor. It’s just better in every way

            Different uses. A bladed razor gives you a closer shave for sure, but I like a trimmed beard.

            This Phillips one is bullshit, because it only works well without this guard, and then yes, you may as well use a safety razor.

        I use a muhle (they sell them on the link.) I’d suggest starting with a closed comb head and whatever handle suits you. (They’re interchangeable,)

        I use an open comb and it’s much more aggressive, and not for starting out.

        I’d recommend staying away from the frequently recommended “entry” razor- the Merkur 34c. The head on the one I tried has a ridiculous amount of play in how it held the blade- it’d clamp down but it’d never consistently seat itself so it was always off center or twisted.

        As for blades, I use feather, but you can buy variety packs and find the set that works for you. That tends to be the most variable part.

      Love my electric razor. It’s 25 years old and still kicking. Never replaced the blades or battery. Ride or die electric forever. You can take it from my cold dead hands!

      The guards on any razor can break, unless you’re talking about a safety razor. Those are awesome, but only good for a close shave.
