Say goodbye to shaving nicks — and plastic you'll eventually throw out
Photo: Courtesy of the retailers Ask most men — whether they’re bearded or subtly stubbled — about what they use to shave, and they’ll likely all reply with some twist on the same basic tool: a cartridge razor with disposable blades, either from a drugstore brand like Gillette or Schick, or a newer, direct-to-consumer company like Harry’s and Dollar Shave Club.
In addition to the way a razor feels in your hand, Solomon says one of the most important qualities to consider is the “aggressiveness” of the shave, “which is largely determined by how much space exists between the blade and the safety bar of the razor.” The Merkur 34C is a closed-comb razor, a style that Solomon and all the other experts say is generally best for beginners because it “offers a more protected shave,” at least as far as safety razors are concerned.

But why spend $160 on this when you can buy other, quality safety razors available for less than a third of the cost? One reason, according to Manto, is that this is made entirely of stainless steel, whereas all the other razors on this list are steel-coated, or made from some sort of alloy.
