Get a close, clean shave at home.

Facial hair is a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, beards are an extension of your personal style, which you can also use to help accentuate and flatter your facial features. On the other hand, any kind of facial hair requires regular maintenance, including trims and shaves, which can add up if you see a professional barber to keep your beard looking fresh.

Disposable razors are a great tool to keep on hand at home to clean up around the sides of your beard and on your neck. Use them a few times and then toss once the blade starts to get dull—otherwise you may get nicked. If you have sensitive skin, shaving your face with a razor may cause some redness and irritation, which is why it's important to throw away disposable razors after they've been used more than a few times. One of the benefits of disposable razors is that they're incredibly cheap, which means you won't feel like you're tossing money down the drain every time you reach for a fresh one.

Some people swear by using a shaving cream or oil while others simply prefer to in with a little bit of soapy water. It all comes to down to preference, and likely the way your dad taught you to shave when you were a teenager. While some men love the convenience of an electric razor or the close shave of a double-edge safety razor, disposable razors are definitely the most dependable shaving tool. Using a disposable razor can give you a tight, comfortable shave with minimal irritation for a significantly low cost per razor.
