Shaving

[malg]

Gone to a normal razor in the last few weeks - old school razor blades. Also using a shaving brush and cream.

Got to say that it feels a lot better. Nice close shave and skin feels better as well.

Also, just bought 50 Gillette razor blades for £10. A full year for a tenner - oh, and they're not the cheapest by any means.

Oh, I know I'm an old twat, but the price of blades and shaving foam/gel is just taking the piss.

Switched to a safety razor (old fashioned type) a few years ago and enjoy the experience BUT when I go on holiday I tend to throw the Gillette razor in as it’s quicker and I don’t need to take the soap / brush etc..

The old double sided blades can't be beaten. I bought 200 x 7 O'clock blades online last year for £10.

Done the same myself. My son bought me a real shaver for Father's Day last year..I love it. Whipping up the soap lathers with a shavers brush and then using real razor blades. It just feels better.
For my face, that is. Don't try anywhere else...not good. According to a friend ;)

I've been using a shavette straight razor for over 5 years now (brush and soap). Takes me less than 5 minutes to get rid of a weeks growth, and the beauty of a straight razor is that it doesn't get clogged, unlike those expensive wanky multi-blade disposables.

Took a while to get used to but saved me an absolute fortune.

Ah right, not just me then. Looks like I'm late to the party......

I only shave for weddings and funerals.

Just some of us. We tend to get swept way with the consumerism and their BS adverts. I mean...they sold us a razor with TWO BLADES. We thought that was clever. Then 3 blades...then 4! They could have just gone straight for 4 blades from the start. 5 would just be mental.

Whoops sorry you're talking about shaving your face. As you were
