Gals , is there such a thing anymore as the old style razor ? I'd love to find one for dh for his birthday . the kind that you turn at the bottom of the handle and it opens the top and you place a blade in . Do they still exist ? I'm so sick of these p[lastic everything throw out etc. we don't do anything electric in the bathroom and trying to get away from many electronic items. His b-day is not til end of March so I have time to search and save money . Thanks , Roxie

My husband just started using a safety razor- It was an early Christmas present. This is a great article with an overview of the setup. The initial cost was about $70, but all he will need now are new blades and shave cream. He is really enjoying it- there is definitely a learning curve, but he is no longer breaking out every time he shaves. He says that he watched videos on youtube to get the technique down.

He is is using a Merkur razor with Derby blades. He has an Omega Badger Hair Brush and Avocado Shaving Cream. He uses a coffee mug for lathering up the shaving cream.

Hope that helps!

Ummm...Maria, did you peek in my bathroom? LOL

Hubby and I both use the same Merkur razor and Derby blades that Maria mentioned. LOVE them. We also use a Badger hair brush, but I prefer glycerine shave soap. I know it was probably silly since I could have used a regular cup, but I also got a rubber shaving mug because I take it in the shower with me.
