investigating a bit to replace a shaver, I ended with a headache of alternatives. Any help for just head shaving?
I have been using the typical Gillette Fusion cartridges for about 10–15 years. I shave my head daily, and usually, the cartridges last me about 15/20 shaves before they start to feel scratchy on my head and I replace them.
Since I am finishing the box of cartridges and also need to replace the handle, I started looking for alternatives. I ended up spending the entire weekend reading, watching reviews, and asking the AI, only to end up with a headache and not a single answer, lol.
What I want is just something that will let me shave in two minutes while I'm in the shower without worrying much about cuts, just like I've been doing until now. I don't mind to learn angles during some days or weeks, but at the end I just want to be able to do it fast, safe and have the closest shave possible.
I've read about a lot of alternatives: how the OneBlade genesis would fit but is as expensive as the normal ones when you add the cost of the blades; how the Leaf Razor is, on paper, amazing, but then I only read complaints about people "dying," bleeding out with more cuts than in a martial arts film; how the Proof razors are not bad but won't last three years, etc.
At this point, I just don't know what to do. I don't want to spend hundreds of euros on a handle just to see that I can't use it without cutting myself, or that if I don't want to bleed, I will need to spend 15 minutes every morning shaving my head.
Really, is there a simple answer? Should I just continue paying the Gillette extortion prices? Are people exaggerating about the Leaf two? Should I try to purchase an original leaf? Is the Proof select 2.0 a better option? Maybe the Are there other alternatives? Maybe every single ones is decent and the problems is the blades and getting some like Feather Hi-Stainless, Perma-Sharp or Astra Superior Platinum would be enough?
I think I've researched less when I was studying than for this, lol
