Anyone else as browned off as me at the prices of razor blades. Its my pet hate it costs 5p to make a blade and they sell fo up to £2.50. The price of razor blade cartridges has surged by as much as 99 per cent in just three years – driving many men to adopt designer stubble. The cartridges cost less than 10p to make, but shoppers are being charged as much as £3.49 each. The biggest player, Gillette, has imposed a stealth price rise by cutting the number of replacement cartridges in its Mach3 Turbo packs from five to four.

I tried the old style razor last year, cut myself to bits I did  BUT after years of searching I have finally found a razor that I am very happy with: Wilkinson Sword Xtreme 3 sensitive (disposable)......they give a nice close shave, lightweight, no cuts, last ages yet at a low cost! Usually £4 for the 4 pack but often on offer at Tesco or Sainsburys.....Try them and I'll be very surprised if you're not impressed ??? I just stocked up and got years worth now  ** Just checked mysupermarket.com and they are £2.50 for the 4 pack at Sainsbury's until 19th Feb |

He's right Cleaned mine the other day Salop, left it in a bowl of brown sauce overnight and a quick scrub with an old toothbrush in the morning had it shining like it was new I'd end up losing one of my chins If it ain't idiot proof ;D I think the 'trick' (if there is one!) is to let the weight of the razor do the work, no need to drag or force it. I still get the odd nick with a fresh blade now and then but it's well worth it. Give it a go, you'll soon get used to it I reckon. |

I've gone back to using the oldskool Gillette Sensor Excell about £10 for 10 blades on Amazon. Much better value than the Fusion at £20 for 8.

I will stick to my electric shaver , cheaper, quicker and less messy Had one made my skin feel horrible Use shaving cream/soap with a washable electric (one you can rinse under the tap) then finish shave with a gillette fusion jobby no more foam/cream required just a quick scrape round. Been using the same blade since October. PS always use the blade at a slight angle to the direction of movement so that it 'slices' along the blade. |
