Other than the standard fare of cart razors that I've used, I like the Bic Metal. Very nice, single blade disposable razor.
I'd say any non lube strip carts for it should work fine. but I also still use my sticks on the road with it, with and without a brush. I prioritize slickness over cushion for all my shaves. good (enough) lather still counts for a shave, and whatever prep you normally do try to mirror. treating it essentially as a DE/SE (appropriate angles/etc) has worked for me. technique has always been the answer for me, once individual aspects/idiosyncrasies of the tools are sorted. just practice at home with what you're going to travel (as you'll pack/package it) with and dial it in. there are various carts available on the market and that may be a factor for you, but the Personnas were fine for me and I didn't go looking for better.I tried this on my last trip and found the Trac II really rough and uncomfortable. I never shaved with them before, so I am certain it is my technique. Do you all have tips on shaving with a Trac II?
I have used the disposable Bevel models myself for several days now--they do a nice job.I did see some Bevel disposable DE razors in Target and wonder if they’d be allowed for travel. They are made of bamboo or something.
Otherwise, I travel with a trac ii.
Thanks! I 100% would buy if I thought I’d be able to travel with them.I have used the disposable Bevel models myself for several days now--they do a nice job.
Be careful on the first use of a Gillette Guard. For some reason the first time I used one, it gave me a red patch that I am still trying to tamp down 1.5 years later.Another vote for the Gillette Guard.
My second choice is an Atra, but I have one of the old all-metal ones.
If checking, I put the blades in my checked luggage and carry my Dopp bag in my carry-on bag.
The TSA rules seem to vary a bit depending on the airport.You need to be more careful with carrying on an empty DE razor these days. The rules have changed a bit, and they can take it now. Taking apart a 3 piece and spreading around the parts seems to work ok. But i typically just put the DE razor and blades in my checked luggage these days. Still using the Bic Metal if I carry on only.
The Bic Metal is the best I've found.Other than the standard fare of cart razors that I've used, I like the Bic Metal. Very nice, single blade disposable razor.
