Personna Speed 3 Pivoting Triple Blade razor
Okay. Cruelty free razors. Not the sort of thing most guys think about, but you should if you are vegan. Most of these are made by companies such as Colgate-Palmolive who unapologetically test on animals. I have used several razors that claimed to be cruelty free, however, they either ripped my face to shreds, or were only good for a clean shave (I have a Fu Manchu mustache, and many of the triple bladed razors that would other wise work well, have a lot of space between the edge of the razor and the blade and don't lend themselves to the "sculpting" of facial hair).
The Personna Speed 3 Pivoting Triple Blade razor from the American Safety Razor Company. These things are awesome. Close shave with an aloe and vitamin E lubricating strip and a sure-grip handle to keep it from getting sideways on you and tearing up that beautiful mug. This company has been on Peta's cruelty-free list since 1992, so big ups for that (plus they are located in Verona, Virginia, well within ass-kicking distance of PETA corporate headquarters in Norfolk, VA, in case they ever get any second thoughts...) By the way, they also make a version for women, so be on the look out for that. Green for dudes, purple for chicks.
