Perhaps the cure to male loneliness is men stepping up for men. As a former lost boy myself, I certainly would have appreciated it.

Now I mentor the shit out of juniors in my professional life.

    it’s a noble cause, 100%.

    but no one should be encouraging anyone to blow $18 on bullshit gillette, or whatever, refillable shaving cartriges. actually it was $18 the last time i bought a 5-pack, that was in the 90s. i don’t even want to know how much they cost now.

    do yourself a solid and switch to safety razors. i got a handle ~9 years ago for like 10 bucks, and spent maybe $30 on 300 blades. actually 600, since they’re double sided. granted, i shave every other day, and never on weekends or during winter, but one blade will last about 3-4 weeks

    please take the “you need 5 blades on your razor…unless you’re not a REAL man” propaganda and throw it out the window

      I also shave with a safety razor. Figuring out my setup was a long and painful process to be honest. I’m not sure I would do it again. Now that I’m set I up golden.

      Gillette permasharps, a Mekur 38 and Creamo cream is what does the trick for me. If anyone is staying out though I would recommend Vokshod blades - they are really consistent and forgiving
