    Or maybe during an earthquake all that other stuff would probably stabilise the whole plot... Except for the hurry bit - that can leave me looking like Norman Gunstan

    Normal double ended 'safety' razor with the single blades with a brush and soap.

    Been using a double ended single blade shaver (similar to pictured) with brush and soap for years - why use more than one blade when a single sharp blade will do a perfectly good job? Better even that some mutiple blade shavers in fact.

    You can get the blades in packs of 5pcs for about a dollar per blade from The Shaver Shop here in Auckland and I think they have a web shop too.

    Some people want a little more than just 'will do'.

    Consumer did a survey a few years ago. It turns out that shaving is the one area of technology which has not successfully moved to electronics. Yes, people use electric shavers but as this thread shows, men generally prefer a wet shave with blades.

    Personally I use Gillette/Bic/Schick twin blade disposables - in the shower. Gets the job done. No muss no fuss.

    Used to use electric stuff when I could be bothered with a daily shave. But once you get a few days growth in those electric bastards go from cutting, to tearing. Use the three bladed ones now, a $20 pack of blades lasts about 6 months.

    Electric all the way, once a fortnight or so, and then only the trimmer on the back. Going for the 'designer stubble' aka 'can't be fucked' look. I work from home you see.......

    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    I have a thick beard growth. Mains powered Remington micro screen foil. Only electric shaver worth its weight & cheap at Briscoes sales. I replace the screen & blades probably every 8 months as they go off. I do quick dry tidy up neck etc with a blade.

    Blades don't last on my stubble. They shave great the first time, ok on 2nd & maybe 3rd, but are ripping me after that. They last ok for a month or two if electric first.

    I think any tests etc it depends on your beard growth to how applicable they are to you.

    Having a complexion akin to something applied by a plasterer with Parkinsons using the back of a shovel as a float, wet shaving in my case generally results in the loss of about half a litre of blood and assorted other bodily fluids. I find that a quality licorice razor with heads replaced annually does a reasonably acceptable job, and it's much better than ritual desanguination.
