I shave my fizzog every day. Face, neck & head every other day, never had any problems with the old Mach 3, blades last a week & I swear by a rubbish hand moisturiser well rubbed in before shaving. No cuts no scars I thank you! 
only cut my nose when shaving thats when some idiot banged on my door last year
Try totalshave, it gives a really good close shave so I only shave every second day without any rash, irritation or ingrown hairs, and it's all natural! It's cheap as well and lasts for ages as you just use 3 drops per shave. I used to be able to get in Tesco but can't seem to find it there anymore but free p+p online, simples!

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
Amazing how quickly it is to spend money on there!
Should be here Monday or Tuesday, heard good things about it, so fingers crossed!

Do you plan to use the traditional brush and shaving soap?
What make of soap have you chosen?

I find the fine line between rugged stubble and scruffy git overstepped between checking in the morning and getting to work.

Have a shower and shave while your in it! All that moisture floating about in the air makes for one hell of a smooth shave.
i just shaved off my 2 week old beard last night, used some fusion thing and some gel stuff that i think is gillette (its in a can)
feels good to be smooth again!

I use a mach 3 and whatever foam I pick up at the shop
But I like to have a beard under my chin which gets trimmed with an electric every now and again otherwise I get mistaken a girl because of my long hair at work

I only shave once a week, and my beard gets relatively long in that time.
I use Wilkinson Sword Hydro Razor, not a fan of electric ones (never found a good one ), with Nivea Foam or Gillete Gel. Always does a good job.

Gone for Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap, as I got a free bowl with it. Will see how I get on with it.
Also got a free The Bluebeards Revenge "Doubloon" Bristle Shaving Brush.

Got it today .
Had my first shave and its great, little bit smaller than I would have liked, but still nice.
Nice and close shave, just need to find a way of getting rid of all the crap between the blade, made the mistake of using my finger...never again.

.Tesco do a Tripple Blade Razor, I bought this when I had my daughter cos times were tight.
Its about £3.00 for the Razor handle and 3 blades, the refils, which have 6 blades are about £4.00.
I have really coarse facial hair and these blades last at least 12-15 shaves before they start to drag.
Now compare tha to your Mach 3's which are £5/7 for the razor and £14 for the refils.... errr, no ta!
I use an oil, a bar and brush (bulldog shave co if you're interested) when i'm going for the super smooth look, otherwise I use Tesco mid range sensitive shave gel. I get no nicks, burns or drags from this Tesco stuff and I do from all the MAJOR brands.

Hows it going? You sliced your face off yet? Or your fingers?
Thats what i use what blades you using? i started using shave oil AND Tabac soap.. now just use soap take your time and get the technique right.. also order a styptic pencil :idea:

could always use one of these bastards.
could always use one of these bastards. If you want to kill yourself in the process!
Edited for accuracy
It doesnt just remove the hair, but several layers of skin for that fresh feel...

Going well, have a shower before, and its nice and smooth. Got a bit of growth now, which will be coming off tomorrow, so I'll see how that goes. With my old one its often dragging my hair out, and hurts a lot.

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