Medline Double-Sided Razor, Shave Prep, Non-Sterile, Blue (Pack of 100)

Shaves as well as my Gillete Old Type in a more disposable package. I would rate the blade exposure as a bit more on the aggressive side, so you can get irritation if you shave with too much hand pressure. Like any double edge razor, it’s more about finding the right angle and learning to skew your cut on tough spots.I have thick, coarse hair that I find shaves best when wet. If you follow shave enthusiasts at Badger/Blade, you’ll know about the benefits and luxury of wet shaving with real shaving cream. When I do that, I like the heft and luxury of the brass Gillette Old Type or my Merkur. However, I get the same shave from using this Medline toward the end of a shower with a bit of soap for glide, and it fits into a fast-paced routine better that way. I don’t feel bad about leaving one of these wet on the shower counter since they are so cheap and there’s no metal to tarnish. A sharp tap of the edge against the palm releases any trapped hairs. The blades seem to hold up fine even used that way.
