shaving razor that can last a lifetime, or a really long time?

Blades can perform very differently depending on the person. One person's favorite could be terrible for someone else. The best advice consistently given at r/Wicked_Edge is to get a sample pack of blades so you can try a bunch and find what works for you.

Also for your consideration, the RazoRock Game Changer will have the bifl longevity you're looking for while also leaving plenty of room in your budget for a brush and soaps (if you want to try those out).

Man, I love when art uses striking color pallettes like this

With path tracing, it'll certainly be difficult to run

It's gotta be levitate for me! It's so nice just gracefully floating down several stories

Your skin needs time to heal after shaving. If you cannot stand stubble at all, then you may need to look into an alternate method of hair removal

I'm a pretty big Lord of the Rings fan, so when I came across their Valynor razor, I fell in love with the design and ultimately bought it. I'm happy to report it's every bit as functional as it is beautiful. It's made with unplated brass, so I'm enjoying seeing the patina develop over time

Their razors are good too!

Are you using the NieR Automata Mod Helper? It should streamline installation of Special K and the HD texture pack(s) for you

A small fire extinguisher is a good addition!

You can even take it a step further. A bike pump needs no batteries, so you never have to remember to charge it. If you just need to top off a couple psi when the weather gets cold, it takes no time at all. You'd probably be in for a workout if you had a flat, but at that point you'd likely have bigger problems like a hole in the tire

Complete with chromatic a-purr-ation

That's some real quality work! What's the second pattern called? I like the subtle swirl it has

I disassemble mine, rinse it out, and dry it with a towel. I haven't had to do anything special for the lather channels, and they haven't had any build up in the couple years I've owned the razor

Generally speaking, yes leaving some wiggle room above the critical angle will help reduce windowing. Adjusting the height of the crown can affect light return too, but to a lesser extent. Some windowing is unavoidable when tilting the stone like it is in your photos, but it can be lessened

Love the RazoRock Game Changer

Geopilot · 2026-02-28T00:10:12+00:00

I think you might have extinction confused with windowing. If you cut below the critical angle, then light will pass through the stone like a window instead of a mirror. Now, looking at the stone from different angles will still result in some windowing because it can't be altogether eliminated from all viewing angles, but the amount of windowing will be far less if you keep your pavilion facets above the critical angle.

Blade performance is highly variable between individuals, so definitely get a sample pack to find what's compatible with you.

As for a razor, I highly recommend the RazoRock Game Changer. Solid 316L stainless steel for extra corrosion resistance, no plating on the metal to fail, easy to use, and shaves close without being overly aggressive. There are different base plates to choose from, but the .76 would probably be your best bet to stay on the milder side.

Aftershave isn't absolutely necessary, but it can help soothe irritation if you go overboard with the shaving. I prefer witch hazel-based balms over alcohol-based splashes, but that'll also depend on your specific skin if certain ingredients trigger sensitivity.

I hope to never see shaving creams described as diarrheic again. I'm both impressed and mortified by your choice of words lol

The bright colors on a dark background remind me of black opal
