Looking for an inexpensive razor that gives smooth BBS shaves?

Check this out. I shaved half my face with my "new" Gillette Tech and half with this. Both very smooth. This shaves closer but the Tech is definitely safer. Good when you're not in a hurry.

BBS is overrated!

Late 1940's Gillette Super Speed. I shaved with it this morning. Hard to improve on!

Inexpensive and smooth shave?
Yuma razor and Lord Platinum blade.
A nice BBS shave with no nicks or cuts

That looks like a DE89 clone but I would rather have the real McCoy. Have you thought about a Fatip Gentile? That is mild and will give you a great shave; BBS if you have good technique. They are not expensive either and the Fatip is all brass.

Just use a Gillette Tech with a Feather Blade.

I've gotten a great shave from a Global shave club Calypso razor. $20 cdn.

Lord L6. Less than ten bucks.

+1! The Lord L6 is my travel razor, very light and reliable when paired with a sharp blade!!

Achieving a BBS shave without irritation is more about technique than it is about the razor. With proper technique, a great lather and the right blade for the razor, nearly any razor that is not defective can be used to achieve a BBS shave. However, the design of some razors makes that task easier than others.

It claims to be "high quality stainless steel" right under a picture of the razor's head. It's hard to believe that you could get a stainless steel razor for that price.

That claim is totally false. It is a generic Chinese razor head similar to the Maggard V3-A. It's the usual zamak with chrome plating, rough in all the places you don't see. For the money, it is a good value.

Just tell them stainless steel. Too difficult to explain to foreigners.

Just use a Gillette Tech with a Feather Blade.

Or a Kai blade.

I'm looking for a cheap car that handles like a Mercedes.

I'm sorry I can't help you, but I've never tried a cheap razor and never will. I can tell you that no razor will "give" you a BBS. That comes from good technique and gets easier the closer you match the needs of your face/beard to your razor/blade/technique.

Good luck in your search. One of the things missing in cheap stuff is quality control, so if you find one that doesn't feel good that can either mean it's the wrong fit, or you got a bad one.

The DE razor that has consistently given me my most comfortable shaves with a BBS finish that lasts 12 hours with any decent blade is a Fatip OC.

Solid Brass and only $20. I prefer the Grande handle.

For around $35, Edwin Jagger DE89.
For around $10, Lord L6

@Juanmosey, it looks neat, but if you’re already getting BBS from a Yaqi double open comb, why surround yourself with an army of affiliated cheapies whose loyalty to your face and neck is untested?
