A double edge safety razor. The initial razor will set you back roughly 40 bucks but you’ll get a closer shave, less cuts, and save a lot of money in the long run from the cheap-ass razor blades. All better for the environment too. Get your ass some shaving soap and a vegan badger brush too. It’s zero waste and will save you money in the long run with no shaving cream.
r/anticonsumption has been a great resource for me, as I’m trying to hatch a new escape plan to finally gtfo my parents basement. I need all the money I can get, and if I can stick it to porky by buying less, even better!
Facts. You don't even need to spend 40, I got a decent one that I've been rocking for years now for about $10, but I am sure there are nicer ones out there, and a pack of 100 blades for another $6 that will take forever to go through. I haven't tried the brush, I just use my hands.
I ditched the pink "disposable" razor shit for the DE Safety Razor (they do come in pink and other cool colors too, I got a chromatic rainbow one). Works great on face and on legs. My recommendation is to go slow but still be intentional about it as there is a small learning curve and those blades are sharp, but the buttery smooth shave is unforgettable.
