Shopping for new blades for my old razor I realized that the gel used on the blades could not be vegan. I didn’t want to check online if they were vegan and as I realized that the blades for my old razor cost about the same as a saftey razor + 5 blades, I bought the safety razor.
Like it so far, was a little concerened to cut myself but slow and steady wins the raze (haha, get it…?) It leaves a tiny, tiny stubble, but maybe that is just me getting used to the new razor. What I like is that it is much easier to clean, since you can remove the blade and rinse it off or even disinfect it. Should I disinfect my blade? Dullsters on the internet, what is your wisdom?
I don’t know anyone who disinfects their blades, or generally takes them out between shaves. Just rinse the razor in hot water and hang it in a stand to dry.
Different blades work for different people - hair, skin, sensitivity, and technique vary, so try a dozen different blades and decide what works best for you.
After 30 years of different products, Henri et Victoria have become my go-to for soap. They make great shaving stuff in general, and have a vegan option.
As you get more comfortable with your razor, pay close attention to its angle to your skin.
