If you've used one on your face, then You Know.
If you haven't, give it a go! You can remove a whole carpet's worth of hair in one swipe, with less irritation and super close. It's not as scary as it looks!

I've considered buying one of these, and holy fuck, everything is branded so ridiculously manly.
And when I say manly, I mean the opposite of manly, of course. The no self-esteem version. Where a minimum of three animals need to have died for a product. And where you're never quite sure, if you're actually buying a shaving razor, because all the models look like they would never shave their magnificent beard.
Made me bounce off of that pretty damn quickly...
in practice I've heard it's the reverse

I mean, I really didn't intend to comment on the quality of these razors. For all I know, they could be the best razors in the world. It mainly just didn't instill much confidence in me, when they need to market it so aggressively with this pseudo-manliness horseshit rather than the actual effectiveness when shaving.
And this is also specifically about these traditional razor blades, whereas what you posted seems to be about safety razors...
lol my b, I am terrified enough of accidentally opening an artery I somehow thought we were still talking about safety razors
Don't buy a new one. But a shave ready vintage one on ebay and make sure the seller primarily sells them. Almost all new ones are bad quality.
If you go with some old school Gillette razors there are ones that might be up your alley.
My wife has one of these but in pink - the long handle is evidently better for shaving legs than a standard safety razor?
There are plenty of good soaps to choose from that avoid the overly manly smells - Taylor of Old Bond Street's Avocado smells delightful and not manly at all.
But I agree, most of the modern day options seem over the top (looking at you Art of Shaving mall store).
