Shaving

[Andy Monty]

Using ASCO Super Stainless Blades, got them free, seem to be OK so far. But no idea what other types are like.

Any recommendations?

Im using feathers they are ment to be one of the sharpest blades available...

i found the astra blades dragged

persona platinum were ok

7 oclocks were ok but dulled way too quick (1-2 shaves = dead blade)

wilkinson sward very aggressive (blood letting)

Derby didnt cut close

Bumping an old thread!

Knew I had started a thread on this before. Finally got round to buying a new razor.

Merkur 34C Heavy Duty Classic

are you going to sell your car and buy a horse as well?

Cool, I'll have a look at those blades.

I'll have a read of that thread during work tomorrow, thanks .

Ha . Horses smell.

No worries i have saved a fortune using the DE razor the blades are really cheap when compared to the new 5million blade with super smooth gell strip types although unless i havent shaved for 2days or so i cant get a very smooth finish unless i do a final pass with shave oil rather than soap

so does that brush on shaving soap :yuck:

if you use them old fashioned razors you need to master the are of sticking tiny bits of bog roll all over your face

I just got this as it seemed like a good deal

[Shadeyman]

I still think the best razor is the original Mach 3 ...

 

[ben]

I got one of those when I landed as it was all the shop had, but I missed the "back blade" which is on the Fusion, it's really useful for getting the hairs just under my nose which the other can't quite grab

No one ever looks stupid with a beard. Fact.

If you must shave, I just use Morrisons own brand 10 for 30p razors (look like Bic ones) and Morrisons own brand 60p shaving foam.

Works for me and does just as good a job as the rip off gillette/wilkinsons sword 58 blade razors. Infact, I think they are better.

I've cut myself once with it (twice if you include my finger).

I just dont shave, got a full on gregory house style stubble beard going on..

when I do I use an electric clipper that takes it back to shorter stubble lol.

 

[Dragon Man]

i use a electric rotary razor i have nicknamed "the face shredder" as it more pulls the hairs than cuts them.

when i was in college i used a self sharpening vintage "rolls razor" that was my great granddads! still use it today if my electric one is flat

I used to do that, but with the Police you either have to be clean shaven or have a beard, not just laziness.

Result from todays shave...amazingly close! Didn't hurt at all, and so smooth its unbelievable!

I cut myself far less with my DE (yes the first month or so was a bit bloody but once you get the method right its easy and quick

Just got a (OK, 20) Palmolive shave sticks...best 49p each I've ever spent! Amazingly close shave. Better than the soap I've been using.

 

[Dragon Man]

well, my electric one died a month or two back so i am back to using this:

to be fair, it gives -the- closest shave i have ever known, better than a shave with a cut throat razor.
way better than my old face shredder.

Ditto. After thirty years, I finally lost the will to shave properly, any more. (See my profile for the full-on, scary Jean Reno/Léon look....)

Philishave DW for the lazy like me - although even that's effort at times :bang:

Shaving's overrated.

 

[EvoStevo]

I use a rotary elec razor daily, its crap.

If I leave it a few days (I.E. on holiday, weekends, xmas etc) I dont bother shaving and then have a wet shave with Asda's own triple blade razors and gel.

Does the job and they last for about 6-10 shaves.

No way would I pay the prices asked for the machxx razors.

As for those in poundland, are you sure they are the same ones and not cheap crappy copies?
