Types of Wet Shaving Razors explained
Mach 3 Razors: The three blade Mach 3 from Gillette allows for a shave with less pressure on the skin and with fewer strokes, this in turn helps reduce cuts and skin irritation. The swivel head follows the skins contours helping you to get that closer shave.
Fusion Razor Head: The 5 blade shaving surface creates less friction and therefore less irritation than the Mach 3 blade. 15 microfins follow the skins facial contours. Also incorporates a precision trimmer, a useful addition for straightening those sideburns.
Safety Razors: Commonly called the Double Edge Razor or DE razor. Requires a separate shaving blade which is inserted into the head. These are relatively very cheap when compared to the cartridge head replacements for the Mach 3 and Fusion. The DE Razor generally comes as a 3 piece screw top rod where the head is unscrewed for razor insertion or as a Twist to open (TTO) butterfly head where the head cleverly opens out to allow blade insertion. Most experienced traditional wet shavers comment that a safety razor gives a smoother, closer shave.
Straight Razors: Also known as cut throat razors or open razors. Undoubtedly the closest shave you can achieve is with a straight razor. The reason for this is the blades ability to cut the whisker cleaner and thus avoiding dragging the stubble. Once mastered not only will you achieve a better shave but long term it will prove a more economical investment. A quality straight razor should last a lifetime, thus saving on costly blade replacement.
Along with your cut throat razor you will need a strop and some strop paste. This essentially sharpens the blade. Usually between 7 to 15 shaves are possible before you need to strop. The use of straight razors is fast increasing, many preferring to use this “old school” method of shaving because of the reasons mentioned earlier.
