I have been using Harry's for the last 3 years. Lately it feels like the quality has gone down, they clog super easy. So its like I shave one stroke, have to rinse, shave one stroke, rinse. Watched some YouTube videos and people say the Defender razor is the best for shaving your head which I do, so I ordered some of those: defenderrazor.com/What interested me was people say it never clogs. I went for free shipping so going to take 7 days to arrive, in the meantime I got some disposable 3 blade Bic razors and got a Dollar Shave Club razor to tide me over and to compare DSC to Harry's. Last night I tried the Dollar Shave Club razor and I might have got a defective one from Target because if I put any pressure on it the blade kept popping out of the handle, I ended up having to put my thumb behind the blade to keep it on. Super annoying. There are these ridiculous looking razors with little wheels on them for shaving your head but people rated the Defender higher so I didn't get one: www.amazon.com/HeadBlade-ATX-Razor/dp/B009S7D2A6/ref=pd_lpo_1?pd_rd_i=B009S7D2A6&psc=1 |

My Defender razor finally got here last night. It works really well. The head of the razor is a lot larger and more spaced out then other razors I have used so it feels kinda strange at first but cut really short. We will see how it holds up over several days.
The Defender didn't clog at all.

I use generic Trac II Plus blades on a brass handle that's about 30 years old. The blades slide on. I also have two Panasonic electric shavers, the newer one having a faster motor. They use the same model screen and cutters. They cut amazingly close once you get the hang of them.
The Trac II Plus blades can exfoliate most of my face, but they have a tougher time under the nose, and the corners of my mouth. If I miss several days of shaving, then it's the Trac 2 Plus ftw, as it can cut through that growth in short order.

If The Defender didn't work out my next thing to try would either be something like the Leaf which takes generic double sided safety razors or something like the skull shaver: www.amazon.com/Skull-Shaver-Pitbull-Silver-Electric/dp/B081CLSKQXWhen I was a kid and started shaving I got a HORRIBLE electric razor, I actually thought it was normal to have your face hurt and have little red bumps after shaving because of that awful thing. I switched to Gillette and I was in heaven, I have never tried another electric razor but the skull shaver looks good. I don't know if reviews of The Defender were posted by shills or not but so far so good |

I don't think I've shaved in years.

After 7 days the Defender razor was still sharp and didn't clog at all, I swapped out the blade for a new one but in a pinch could keep using it.
If I didn't like the defender the next thing I was going to do was try the old school safety razor, but the Defender works well for now.

If I didn't like the defender the next thing I was going to do was try the old school safety razor, but the Defender works well for now. Pro tip I read online: Take the razor and run it backwards over the back of your hand. I guess the thinking is that that smooths out any burgeoning rough spots.
Second pro tip I read online: There's an amazing bargain on an amazingly slick shaving gel at Amazon. It's advertised for women so as to get a smooth shave on their legs, but even the tiniest dab of it works on a tough stubble.
