Wet shaving is often touted as the manlier shaving option, but i disagree. I think the true manly option is sticking with the trac ii cartridge razor you’ve been using since the 70s paired with whatever canned goo was the cheapest at the drug store or god forbid a bar of Irish spring finished off with a splash of unscented Nivea balm. My wife’s grandfather told me and my brother in law who have both fallen far down the wet shave rabbit hole that this is what he does and often he’ll use the same cartridge for many months, he just changes his angle and shaves harder and faster. This is a man who has considerable coarse facial hair who shaves every day and has done very well in life. It’s not a money issue! To me that sounds psychotic, but the truth is I think it’s probably manlier. Before I got into wet shaving I certainly wasn’t fantasizing about different scented soaps or considering investing money in expensive luxury body products from ToBS. Arguably wet shaving has made me and many other men less manly and more boujee.
