i wouldn't know, i shave like 6 times a year, dirty hippie that i am
2nd shave in and I'm still liking the safety razor. Using the beavertail brush with lather is a different sensation than using shaving cream out of a can. I used some after shave balm today and it feels like the irritation is less than before.
Almost a year in and I'm not regretting moving to a safety razor one bit. I'm still on my first sampler bag of blades, which will probably last me another couple years. I'm still using my first bar of lathering soap as well. I wish I'd made the switch much sooner.

It's all on amazon
I'd go ahead skip to using feather blades unless you have baby skin and/or you're an idiot that can't shave right
Going through my grandfather's things last night and my grandmother thought I might like this. She was right. I'm looking into seeing if it is worth restoring, and possibly using. It apparently belonged to my great-grandfather.
Best I can tell, the company started in the late 1800s and went out of business in 1952. Going rate for refurbished blades on the web is around $50.

yikes.
because of the rust, I would think that the blade would have to be ground down to get a new surface suitable for sharpening to a razor edge. I would think that someone who knew what they were doing would be able to do that but I have no idea where you find such a person.

This would definitely be a full restore. Luckily the edge isnt moon shaped, so hopefully its salvageable.

I disagree with you
that's definitely salvageable, but you'll need some patience and skill or a someone with that.
my buddy found a rusted old hatchet and hand-sharpened it back to a mirror finish.

What soap do you all use? I've been trying a few kinds and haven't settled in one that I really like.
I'm currently trying:
Proraso Green
Colonel Conks Amber(this came with my mug. It smells pretty awful)
Van Der Hagen
Shea Moisture Triple Butter(lather and cushion is awful , but I like the smell)

Look into Maggard's soaps. They're raved about.

How can anyone spend one second thinking about the best way to shave when there is so much awesome beard to grow?
I don't have a choice. NFPA 1500 says I no can has a beard. Occasionally I'll grow one out for Movember, but that's a rarity.

I've been using this stuff recently and like it. And it's cheap and easy to find.
