Re: Razors????
I don't have fast growing thick hair on my face, and my previous jobs didn't require everyday shaving. After 17 years of wet shaving once or twice a week, now I have to shave everyday, even on weekends sometimes! I dramatically observed how fast the blades go blunt and the shaving gel run out!! And the money I spent on them started to disturb me. Two months ago I bought an electric shaver (foil type), modest one... I am really impressed by the performance. It says I need to change the foil and the blades after 18 months. I paid 50 euro for that, and I think it is a bargain versus mach3+gel. It also saves time...

Re: Razors????
cheers for all your useless information....in true FF style.
Karel - I'm looking for a shop on-line or something so I can get a constant supply but if nothing turns up, I'll drop you a PM - however, I am a bit worried about your lack of razor use and hope you are using a different method of hair removal these days.
Gels / electric razors etc etc - all cr@p...well, they don't work for me. I'm like the bastard son of grizzly adams and a gorilla.
A gorilla

Grizzly

(Tenner for anyone who can find a good picture of a bastard son).
I tried those creams once, bloody useless, left half the hair and wasn't smooth. It burned too. So the next day I thought I would need a touch up and got out the old wet razor...never again...hurt and burned more and left me with a huge rash for about 2 weeks. Not good.
Those electric razors are just crappy. Maybe my hair is too soft or hard or something.

Failed to mention that in my 5 pack are also 5 blades. So 10x5(x5) is quite a lot.
And I still have baby hair, so I don't have to shave every day or twice a day. I probably manage up to 2-3 months with one blade.

You can actually buy them from amazon....but one of the reviewers said the blades were blunt as hell and claimed they were fakes. I doubt that but kinda made me think twice.

Re: Razors????
Ok, I confess I scrolled down too fast and ended up seeing pics of 2 men engaged in a farting competition.
i usually stock up too but haven't been to the Uk for a while. I stopped though as I felt I spent half my time in the Uk buying and bargain hunting just to save me a few euros here. My deodrant, I buy special stuff for problem perspiraion (
), is a couple of quid cheaper here...Might need to buy that only too as the prices have just jumped up!
To be honest, I stick with what i have. I have pretty poofy skin and get a ton of problems. I have less problems with the gill so don't wanna change....might be silly but....MagicJ wrote: Bubba, Do you have a Wilkinson Sword Protector?

Well...see....I haven't been to the dentist in 10 years, so I am kinda thinking the shaving thing is an easier option as I heard the dentist waiting list here in Fag Town is like 3 years....dunno if it's true cos I haven't asked but I guess it is!

Re: Razors????
Get yourself a straight razor and a strop lifetime investment,use a pre-shave oil .Takes a while to learn how to use a cut throat but gives the best shave...
Re: Razors????
I'd agree with that. The best shave ever I have had was at barber who did it with straight razor. Sweet old lady she was, went to her shop over 20 years and when I finally started to grow real hair to my face she gave me a proper shave. I'm not sure that I have the courage to do it myself thoFrankie abbot wrote:Get yourself a straight razor and a strop lifetime investment,use a pre-shave oil .Takes a while to learn how to use a cut throat but gives the best shave...
