Battle of the Blades–Part II
In one of our past Blog entries, an epic battle between manual and electric razors took place, in which manual razors emerged victorious. Today a new battle shall take place between the traditional single blade razor and the trendy multi-blade razor.
I used to believe it was an absurd notion that two blades could shave better than one, until I tried my first two blade razor, which was given to me for free at the college bookstore as a promo. After my first shave with my new blades, I stood in awe for about 10 minutes as I rubbed my smoother than ever, face. I continued to use the double blade razor until christmas, when I recieved a vibrating Mach 3 turbo as a stocking stuffer. I nearly returned the razor because there is nothing more absurd than a vibrating razor with a useless third blade(since 2 blades gave me such a close shave already). It only took me one shave to get hooked on a third blade and I look forward to upgrading to the 5 blade Fusion, in the very near future.Â
Now, you may be thinking to yourself, this is hardly a battle of the blades, but single blades do have some advantages. Such as, according to dermatologists, men with curly hair or hair that grows in many directions within a region should use a single blade to help prevent ingrown hairs and razor burn. The shave may not be quite as close, but for this reason you are less likely to be irritated and suffer from ingrown hairs that can be painful and unsightly.Â
So you’ve heard the arguments and now for the moment of truth…And the winner is…Well, it’s actually a toss-up, so we came up with two separate awards.
Winner of the closest and smoothest overall shave: the Multi-Blade razor.
Winner of best shave for a person with curly hair: the Single Blade razor.
Hope you have enjoyed our blog and keep checking back for new entries weekly.
Best Shaves!
