        Every other form of shaving is torture.

        Like I really didn’t believe the hype until I got one. I was scared at first of nicking myself, but I haven’t done it once in the two years I’ve used it

        Those are solid. I found Voskhod razors E X T R E M E L Y consistent between blades and comparably as smooth as platinum, nacets, silver blue.

        I cut the shit out of my face with just about everything else I tried.

        If anyone reading this is new to shaving, I would recommend Gillette as a good starting point and then try other brands. Don’t get a variety pack, because you get a bunch of shit blades.

        I use Creamo shave cream and like it. It’s cheap as fuck, and nice and thick. You can control how thick with how much water you use. I found other creams get pretty watery pretty quickly

          I spent $100 for 100 5-packs about 10 years ago, and I still have about 25 packs left. Although, I did go through long periods where I had a beard for a several years.

            Sorry, I just made a quick exaggeration of the price. I just got 10 for about $15 a month or so ago. That was the only pack I could find at the drug store. The previous one was a 100 pack, but it was probably more than $20.

            Regardless, much better than the new 5-blade heads. They’re expensive.
