Discussion What to use for cutting?

[shadow_sunset]

I currently use an eyebrow razor but I heard that reused stuff is a no go.

So what can I use? Do I buy something? If so what? I heard about having a kit and I like that idea I might do that just not quite sure what kind of blade to get, I've heard people use razor blades but how? Mine are like the saving ones for your legs and they have like 5 but stuck together. I don't know if people are unsticking them together or whatever or if you can do that.

personally, I use some cheap eyebrow razors from off amazon. i've been reusing them, but I also make sure to disinfect before and after. havent had any problems so far. i switch them out when i notice them starting to be too dull.

Are you actually referring to a razor blade? I'm not familiar with different types for different body parts but as far as I know, razor blades are often used to refer to the singular ones (added an image), they're kind of uncommon now since modern razors tend to mostly use cartridges.

I'm not from the US but around my area, they got them in packs in convenience stores or groceries, probably even pharmacies. You could probably buy some online. Wouldn't recommend trying to break blades off razors, blades are pretty cheap and just more convenient than going through the hassle of breaking apart razors. Haven't tried it but eyebrow razors seem fine, I'd say just don't make it multi-purpose in that you use your shaving razor to cut.

I also reuse mine but I don't cut deep that often and always clean it before and after as well with some alcohol then replace it occasionally.
