depends on the razor blade too i think....

i remember using the good ol' gillette necet razor blade and it almost never burns. can reuse it for a couple of times before i throw it away because its getting blunt.

the cheap razor blade usually what makes the razor burn

ah i see...

was looking for a cheap shaving soap and bumped to arko... watch some reviews, some like it some dont. so i asked the question since most of u guys familiar with it.

i mean for that cheap of a price i guess why not right? now in the middle of collecting some funds to buy proper shaving stuff and got some sweet deals.

Curious about traditional double edge shaving? Don't want to splurge unnecessarily? Here's a good razor to try...

Daiso - Dorco Double Edge Safety Razor (2 Dorco ST-300 blades included)
Price: RM5.30
[attachmentid=8328981]
http://www.aeonretail.com.my/daiso/
http://www.daisoglobal.com/store/list/?c_id=C0027
It is essentially the same razor as the PL-602 that's sold by Dorco.

So my stainless shavette from Connaught Shaving just broke this morning...the rivet holding it together rusted away.

I've just ordered another el cheapo shavette from Aliexpress, which will probably reach me in 1 month+.

Thinking of trying my hand at straight razors. Any recommendations?

u want the ones with the razor blade slot or the knife ones?

tried the cheap ones that the local indian barber use one (the plastic ones) with Gillette razor (the normal ones i guess). kindda nerve wrecking when doing it urself for the 1st time but if u get the hang of the angle u should be fine. and that cheap razor did just fine.

thats the extend of my knowledge of straight razor. never try the knife ones... looks fun thou but i havent shaved like 4-5 years now so i dont think i'll be seeing any razor on my face soon lol...
