    I want to stop using my disposable but I fear for my lily soft cheeks. Someday I will be brave

      Wetshaving is actually easier on skin if done right, as you have wider selection of blades for different skin/hair types, allowing you to greatly customize your shaving experience.

      Also, you normally get a better result, so your cheeks will be even more tender :)

      straight razor, my man. used to get terrible razor burn and lots of small cuts from disposables (of all types, and the whole Gillette 5 stacked blades are just a very expensive scam imo). switched to a nice straight razor and it’s a whole new world. love the ritual, too.

      downsides would be the cost (but you never pay for a disposable again) and the slightly steep learning curve. also may be frowned upon in a carry-on on an airplane, and I don’t trust baggage handlers to not brutalize my checked in luggage. so I just go feral if travelling for a couple of days or use an obscene amount of bubble wrap.
