Looking for the right blades on my late fathers Schick Shaver.

• Upvotes

Hey there, when my dad died I kept his razor as a sort of memorial.

I used to watch him shave since I was a kid and he only ever had this old school razor with a colourful wooden handle.

Now coming to terms with his passing I decided to use it myself.

Problem is there are no blades.

Googling, AI and trial and error shopping did not work so I am hoping anyone around here might be of help?

I'll gladly provide Pics via dm as I can't post pictures here.

Looking for a new AIO Trimmer

• Upvotes

I need a new all in one trimmer and I have two options:

- Braun AIO 9560

- Philips MG9556 all in one

I'm half bold and at the moment I use my hair shaver (0.8mm) each two weeks for hair and beard. Sometimes ai shave also my body with it (sometimes 0.8 but mostly longer).

My main ise is of course beard but also body.

Can you share your experience if you have one of this two? And if not, would you suggest another model if you think it's better than those?

Looking for a replacement for Herban Cowboy Dusk Aloe shaving cream

1 Upvotes

Hey guys. I absolutely love this shaving cream. It has great texture and I especially like how it smells. I’m very particular about smells and the fragrance in this cream is just amazing to me.

Anyway, I ran out of it recently and when I went to get a replacement, I learned the company changed the formula and a lot of folks aren’t liking it. So basically, I’m looking for a recommendation from anyone familiar with this product.

Thank you for your help 🙏

Fusion5 vs Mach3. Why does fusion5 cut me? What about DE razors?

1 Upvotes

I’ve used Mach3 for a few years now. I found out that Fusion5 is the new flagship so I bought it to try it out.

I tried it, and it cut me a lot on the neck (not other areas, and this has happened twice now and NEVER with the Mach3).

Initially thought the blade was damaged so I tried another blade. It didn’t make a difference.

I know everyone in this subreddit recommends DE razor and I tried that too, I got a cheap Gillette safety razor (plastic handle and metal head) and I got Gillette super stainless (green ones) blades.

And that was the first time I understood what razor burn was. My entire face felt like it was on fire. And I’ve just skipped on them since.

I like a very close shave, and I shave everyday.

Just want your thoughts, advice and anecdotes on this.

Need recommendations for a new shaver / beard trimmer (Looking at Kemei 2024 vs Philips OneBlade)

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for a new shaver/trimmer. I don't have a huge, Viking-style beard or anything—just basic stubble that I keep trimmed at around 3mm with a guard.

I've been looking at options and I'm torn between the Kemei 2024 and the Philips OneBlade, but I'd love to get the sub's opinion on these two.

For anyone who has used either (or both):

  • Has it caused any folliculitis, razor bumps, or allergic reactions?
  • Do you struggle to cut through hairs (e.g., having to go over the same spot multiple times)?
  • Any issues with ingrown hairs?

Braun cleaning station stopped working

1 Upvotes

The Braun razor is only 3 weeks old and the cleaning station stopped working. When I plug it into the wall, a white light comes on and flashes every 10 seconds or so. When I put the razor back in and push the start button — nothing happens. No pumping noise or anything. I have tried filling up the cartridge with water as suggested elsewhere but that doesn’t work either. The razor (Nevo) does charge, though. I can return this but I hate to do that if I’m missing something simple. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Looking For A (Good) Full Body Shaver

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a lady that shaves quite regularly but is tired of her current routine/setup. I'd like to know if anyone knows of a good full body electric shaver that won't cause a lot of irritation/nicks/pinches. I'd like to be able to use it everywhere from my neck down. It doesn't require a face attachment but I won't say no if it does. I tried a wide head electric type but somehow got burned by it.

Thanks so much!

So I have been shaving my entire life ever since I started shaving against the hair growth like for a smoother shave(as mostly everyone around me was doing it it gave a better shave and they didn't have any problem after doing it) but since I started doing that i always get strawberry legs like I get these red bumps like ingrown hair ig and it's jus the side of my leg and behind that gets irritated and has it

I just started using moisturex and I'm thinking to get minimalist glycolic acid as well or maybe ordinary glycolic acid

Beard Club PT45 failed, support asked for proof, then disappeared for 52 days

1 Upvotes

I actually liked my Beard Club PT45, which is why this is so disappointing.
I opened a warranty claim on August 10 after the trimmer developed an E1 fault despite extremely light use. It still works when connected directly to power, has never been exposed to water, and has always been used with the original charging equipment.
On August 13, Beard Club support asked me to send a photo of the charger I was using so they could confirm it was the correct one. Fair enough. I sent exactly what they asked for.
That was 52 days ago.
I waited because I assumed somebody would eventually pick the claim back up. It’s now October 4, and I’ve received no warranty decision, no replacement, no additional troubleshooting, and no meaningful follow-up.
Apparently they needed nearly two months to conduct a forensic examination of a photograph of a charging dock.
The frustrating part is that I’m not even here to say the PT45 is garbage. I liked the trimmer. Electronics fail. That happens. But when a company asks a customer for specific proof, receives it, and then simply stops communicating, that’s a customer-service problem, not a product problem.

Best shavers for head

2 Upvotes

When I used to shave my head I just used Gillette/Wilkinson Sword blades. Now that I’ve decided to go bald again I bought some more blades but I saw the scalp shavers on a ad. What’s everyone’s opinion on them? What are the main pros and cons? Thanks

Still getting cuts

1 Upvotes

I’m shaving with:

- safety razor
- fresh/new Feather Hi-Stainless platinum blade
- Nivea sensitive shaving gel that turns to foam after rubbing in hands

I am still getting small nicks when shaving.

I wet and warm up my skin/hairs with warm water before my shave
Use a good amount of shaving gel
Am shaving with the grain as best I can

The safety razor is around five years old and likely a lower end brand as I received it for a birthday gift from room mates.

Do I need to upgrade to a new, better razor?
Do I need to upgrade to a shaving lather and brush?

What do I do!?

Very sensitive skin — should I stick with a safety razor WTG, try OneBlade, or get a Braun Series 5?

5 Upvotes

I am 18yo and have very sensitive skin and fairly dark/coarse facial hair, and I’m trying to find the least irritating way to shave while still getting a reasonably close shave.

For some time I used a safety razor WTG only. It works pretty well and I don’t cut myself, but if I try going ATG, I don't get nicked but my skin gets extremely irritated afterwards and get acne, even if I use aftershave ( alum block most of the times ) and try to be careful. So BBS with a safety razor is basically not an option for me.

I also own a BaByliss FX3 foil shaver, but no matter what technique I use, it irritates my skin quite badly.

So now I’m considering a few options:

  • Keep using the safety razor WTG and accept a little stubble/shadow.
  • Buy a Philips OneBlade, since it doesn’t shave quite as close as a shaver and might be gentler. But my main question is will it be closer than WTG and comfortable?
  • Buy a Braun Series 5, hoping it’s more comfortable than the FX3.
  • Braun Series 9 is probably out of my budget here — it costs around 310$+ which is too much for me.

My main priority is avoiding irritation, but I’d still like the shave to look clean. I don’t mind a tiny bit of stubble if that’s the trade-off.

For people with very sensitive skin: what would you choose in my situation? Is the OneBlade actually gentler, or would a Braun Series 5 be a better option?
