Hey all.
I had my routine down to the point taking it for granted. I had settled into brush and bar soap ( mostly Irish spring) using persona USA made blades.
It was comfortable for me, blades lasted about a week each, no nicks or cuts for years now.
I went to reorder the blades and they were now 2x what I last paid.
I ordered a box of Indian made astra blades and it was like I was new at shaving again. They only last a shave or 2 with water.
Does anyone have a hidden gem cheap blade?
I have made the astra work for me using an alcohol gel instead of soap but I wasn’t looking to be that hard on my skin daily.
Does anyone here have a good shave with astra blades? What’s your routine?
Thanks for the advice. It’s a bit much for me to store blades outside the bathroom. I wouldn’t mind doing that on in mounted blades, but it’s a bridge too far on mounted ones. I think I’ll just have to pay attention to the kind of steel.
