Razor · Beard · Skin
Build the whole men's grooming kit once
Picks made from published manufacturer specifications, scores with the arithmetic printed underneath, and a cost-per-shave calculator that uses your prices rather than numbers we made up. For somebody leaving cartridge razors who wants the setup decided.
We have not tested any of this, and we say so
Everybody in this category says they tested forty razors. We have tested none, we own none, and there is no test bathroom. What we do instead is compile what the manufacturers publish, compute how long a pack actually lasts, print the working under every score, and cite the source on every specification. You can check all of it, which is not something a number out of five lets you do.

The picks
What we would buy in each category
One winner per roundup, each labeled with the question it won. The buy button is here rather than three clicks in, because a site you cannot buy from is a site with nothing to say.
Prices last verified October 19, 2026. They move constantly; the figure on Amazon when you click is the real one.
Sections
Six sections, all of them filled
Shaving, beard, skin, electric, hair and body. Hair and Body launched as reserved pages that stated what they would cover rather than sitting empty, and both are now filled on the same standard as the rest - published specs, printed arithmetic, and a named skip on every roundup.
66 pages
Shaving
Safety razors, blades, soap, brushes and aftershave — the whole manual setup, ranked and costed.
55 pages
Beard
Trimmers ranked on published runtime and length range, plus oils, technique and guard numbers explained.
35 pages
Skin
A three-product routine for shaved skin, picked on published ingredient lists rather than packaging.
41 pages
Electric
Foil and rotary shavers ranked on published motor, runtime and head figures — plus the refill cost nobody mentions.
37 pages
Hair
Clippers ranked on published guards and motors, plus guard sizes, styling products and shampoo.
36 pages
Body
Deodorant versus antiperspirant on published actives, plus body wash and body groomers ranked.

Flagship
The Routine
The entire setup decided in one page: razor, blades, lather, brush, post-shave, beard and skin. Every competitor answers “which product should I buy”. This answers “what should my whole setup be”, which is the question our reader is actually asking.
The method
What a shave actually costs
Nobody in this category publishes cost per shave, and it is the whole economic argument for leaving cartridges. We publish the consumption model, the formula and every assumption as an editable field. You supply the prices; the arithmetic is ours and it is checkable.
How this is funded
Affiliate links, and nothing else
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. If you buy through a link here it costs you nothing extra, and it does not change the order of the picks - the order is computed from the axes and the working is printed under every score. No brand has paid for a placement, we accept no free products, and where we would earn nothing on something we recommend, the page says so.
At 5 shaves a week, the arithmetic on this site adds up to a real number - and it is your number rather than ours, because you put the prices in.
