Why Your Grandfather's Razor is the New Shaving Trend Small batch essences, organic cotton face cloths, hand-crafted oil cleansers — with indie, artisanal products making major moves on the beauty industry, it was really only a matter of time before shaving got all fancy. And we don't mean 27 blade, ultra-performance, hydro-magic-gel-infused kind of fancy. No, we're talking about something a little more hipster: old school, dual-sided safety razors — you know, the kind your grandpa liked before they were cool. And cool they very much are, if the serious online fan following is anything indication. Why would anyone want to go retro and use a safety razor? Hipster value aside, one of the biggest selling points for fans is that they're less expensive in the long term than cartridge razors. A pack of 25 safety razor replacement blades typically goes for about $5. The other attraction for some users are the claims that safety razors are less likely to leave your skin irritated and ingrown-prone. (One editor at BuzzFeed now swears by old-school safety razors for shaving her bikini line.) See http://ift.tt/2bBWNFm
