    Good to know when I bought a muhle razor.
    So much cheaper using a double-edge/safety razor! Even when buying “expensive” blades

    I actually recently switched to a safety razor from Wilkinson Sword (those blades mentioned, are supposed to be used with safety razor), and was enjoying it a lot. The razor itself is not too expensive, yet it improved my shave quality, decreased a price-per-shave, and skin irritation after shave (omitting occasional but very rare nose cuts). I use a blade in 1.5 weeks with ISANA blades from Rossman, and pay about 2€ per 10 of those, can definitely recommend.

    The only downside: you can’t bring those on any airplane, so I carry a cartridge razor to get at least some shaving done when traveling. And immediately I do that, I get razor burns :(((

    I’ve been forever using Gilette’s with a battery (they call it Power) because it gives the clean shave of blades but with less friction, aside from how much the blades cost i’m really happy with it. But I want to try some alternatives, does anybody now if there is another brand doing something similar? I’d argue it is quite easy to do, (it is just a vibrator in the handle) but never seen it.

        Yeah I’ve looked at them before and they seem to be more like a machine than my vibrating razor handle. It’s a good suggestion although reading other comments in this thread I’m now thinking of giving shaving with a safety razor a go. People told me it is cheaper and more sustainable than these cartridges, so why not at least try it. If I don’t like it, I will consider getting a OneBlade I guess. Although I believe all of Philips consumer electronics are now from a Chinese company and the only money staying in Europe is for licensing the brands name, so there is that too.

        Edit: Consumer electronics division is now indeed owned by a Chinese private equity firm, but ‘Personal Health’ such as razors and electric toothbrushes is not part of that division. Anyone interested can read more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versuni.

      I’ve found their blades, at least, not very good.

      My go-to has always been Feather, they’re genuinely good, sharp, smooth blades. While they’re not European (but Japanese), they also aren’t from the US so perhaps the recommendation is within the community’s spirit?

    I’ll add Dovo from Germany and Kyone from Netherlands. Also i suggest not buying carbon steel razors cause at least in my opinion they suck big time.

    BIC and Wilkinson Sword immediatly came to mind. Wasn’t aware Solingen still existed - I grew up hearing their single edge razors were fabulous. But I really wasn’t aware my own country makes blades. Now I have to try check Tatara.
