I swapped to Harry's a few years back as they're one of the few vegan brands. But this shit is frustrating. Those little rubber side pieces are load bearing and made thin enough that they're gonna break after a while.

I literally can't remember the leftist word for a product that's designed to break after some time.

No shame directed at the bearded comrades, but damn shaving helps get a tight seal with N95s.

Not REgon, but I just use a Wilkinson Sword I've found in Rossmann and it does me well real nice. I've been shaving with it for a few years now. This one specifaclly:

Ignore the name

The more important choice are the razors themselves, sadly I've only used generic ISANA (Rossmann in-house brand) and DM ones. They're okay for what I need, but they dull very quickly. But from guides I've read, Astra Greens are rather okay but I've only seen them for bulk online in actually good prices.

INLINE EDIT: [I've found the video from The Gentleman's Gazette about razors]

For soap I just use Nivea, and my brush is also some generic DM one. I get a very smooth shave with it, jak pupa niemowlaka. (how the fuck is that an idiom in Polish I don't know)

If you want better help with shaving, I recommend the video series by The Gentleman's Gazette. For example here's a video on how to best shave with sensitive skin.

Also if I'm triggering any dysphoria I'm sorry, I'm just trying to help and have also tried to help this way my trans girl friends as I believe the sensory feeling of extremely smooth skin might something they'd like :(

You're good, most shaving tutorial did is gonna be male coded for facial hair.

I'm happy to help, maybe I should write a shaving master post guide thingy or something

I could contribute as well. I switched years ago and never looked back. But a lot of the online resources try to convince you you need expensive boutique items, because a lot people treat it as their hobby

You can spend a ton of money on fancy razors, shaving soaps, brushes, scented aftercare products and so on, but if you're frugal, you can save a ton of money over time

The cheapest setup I can think of, would run you like around 35zł. Here's the shopping list:

And get yourself an empty jar for stirring the foam, that's literally all.
