"New Age" shaving

[boman]

They seem to have reached a cap of $28 for eight blades, so they're looking for sales elsewhere......

It appears they've already tried new "improved" versions of their top selling blades but people saw through the fact that they cost more and didn't last as long.

Time for an electric......

And that is another argument altoghether. Electric Razor Versus Blades.

Water, a cake of shaving soap and a Badger bristle brush to apply to face. Wilkisnson Sword Double edge blades and holder to shave the stubble.
L'Occitane after shave to finish.

Perfect.

Do people shave with those blades? I always thought they were just for cutting up cocaine.....

It's at least cheapish to shave in NZ, I was amazed at the price of shaving in the Czech Republic- Gillette Mach 3 pack of 4 blades here is approx 400kc which is about $35.00, now thinking of embracing facial hair.

Bought my first electric a few months back, Pure luxury, Should have bought one years ago.

The only thing easier was when I grew a beard.

I prefer blades - electric ones feel strange and leave me with a rash - even though I got one of those fancy-pants in-the-shower-and-built-in-moisturiser electric ones. Plus I feel a blade gives me a closer shave.

King of Shave Azor FTW though - longer lasting than the wallet-beaters from Gillette.

Although, I'm so manly that if I put anything on my skin after shaving, I end up with a rash.

I'm horrified at the cost of razors when hubby or son say they need more. Why they don't just use the (still incredibly sharp) cut-throat I have in my tool kit I don't know.

p.s. ladies razors also have to be able to cope with unusual shaped bodily areas such as arm pits and other places which modesty prevents me from mentioning .

Shave? Sure once every two weeks whether I need it or not.

[Blackbird]

Wash with soap, then lather up with Gillette Gel foam, then Mach3 razor followed by Nivea balm or moisturiser as I sometimes get razor rash. Tried electic razors, didn't like them.

Incidentally, does anyone use King of Shaves shaving oil instead of foam or gel? I once got sent a free sample and it was bloody fantastic but I've never seen it in the supermarkets.

If their customers can be made to believe that Five blades will shave you any closer than two, then they can be made to believe anything!

IF, as they claim, the "Last blade shaves the closest" - why not just put that one blade in the bloody razor!
Ripoff cnuts!

Except the blades are a long way down from the top edge so missing the little bit under your nose is common....

I got a fancy philishave ,250 odd pinger and its shit.Got to rub it over the same spots 30 times to get the hair.It takes 10 times longer to shave than blades.POOH

[Mekk]

Well look at it from their point of view: If their customers can be made to believe that Five blades will shave you any closer than two, then they can be made to believe anything!

Oh yeah, I can easily see the marketing thunk behind it... does anybody actually use all three though? I can't even remember all of them.

[portokiwi]

Man that would take time. Bad enough having to get up at 445am to get ready.
Blade shave for work and use the trusty electric on days off.
no fancy razors here.

[Scouse]

soap n razor.

Piss off you are still at the stage of putting milk on your face and getting the cat to lick it off
