So I typically shave with a safety as they are easy to use and cheap on the blades. I decided to try a shavette razor the last few weeks. I have since gotten the hang of it, but it does feel way more awkward and not a whole lot better, as such it takes far longer to use. Tho the shave is still rather good.

I've never heard of a blade sample pack.

I got one like first thing. How did you settle on a blade?

Damn, gurl.

You can try something like this https://www.amazon.ca/Double-Edge-Razor-Blade-Sample/dp/B01N6EEZ60

In your regional equivalent.

Derbys were all the rage when I started shaving but I personally didn’t like them.

Feather are my go-to these days.
