Check this out Razors (https://www.dollarshaveclub.com/ref/n6u/ojicys) for a couple bucks a month. I just ordered the executive razor ill post results.

I would buy the razors for no other reason than I love the sales video on their site.

Or shave like your grandpa actually did - with a safety razor and a brush to lather.

^Not mine, but same razor I use. 1952 Gillette Super Speed.

An $8 box of 100 blades lasts me about 2 years. Along with that a $10 disc of soap lasts about 6 months.

I used this in a pinch at the dojo a few times

It'll even go through a kevlar vest. Not the most comfortable shave though.

Yup, I've trimmed a few times with my EDC. Spyderco Caly 3 in ZDP-189. Takes a wicked edge and is in my opinion the best knife to have riding in your pocket.

Hey, thanks for the tip. I keep looking for a good folding EDC knife. I'd like a straight blade for a neck knife, but in CA, that can be problematic as all fixed blades are supposed to be open carry.

Yup, I swear by Spyderco. If you're on a budget I'd look at a Delica in VG-10. Both of my knives are in ZDP-189 which is rather pricey but holds a razor edge forever.

I HATE spiderco knives. I've broken more then I can remember. I stepped up to SOG and never looked back, lifetime warranty and I've even snuck my trident through a few metal detectors. I've had the same knife about 6 or 7 years now, if it gets dull, I send it back for a sharpening, if something wears out, like the spring assist, they replace it no questions asked, Turn around was about a week.

For their price point i agree. Gerber makes better top line stuff but its also about 5x the cost.

Pricing is all subjective.

In regards to Spyderco, I've never used a better slicer and ZDP-189 is one of the best luxury steels you can buy. SOG and Gerber are good utility knives but I rarely need a big knife.

I'm not even talking about big knives, i'm talking about folders. Spyderco knives have very weak tips, the dont call SOG "the knives that cuts flying bullets" for no reason. They're all tested this way and if they dont pass, they arent produced.

Big was probably the wrong word. I guess "tactical" would be more apt. I've never had a problem with Spyderco's tips but then again I treat a knife as a tool used for cutting and slicing. Rarely is the tip ever placed under stress unless doing something the knife wasn't made for like using it as a screwdriver. I have my leatherman for that :cool:

In regards to picking a tactical folder, SOGs have always felt cheap to me. I've found better luck with Kershaw and to some extent Benchmade.
