cerium88 · Posted: Fri Oct 29, 2010 1:19 am Post subject: what razor do you use?

it seems that im cutting the face of myself more than usual with disposables(they just dont last long enough either), but other blades that i use are really expensive here(ireland), and im not mad on getting a cutthroat to deal with it. any suggestions?(im tired of having to put some jax roll on me face) what do you use??

I use a cheapo electric razor. Can't remember which model at the moment; too busy/lazy to check.

Bic disposable at present, thinking about either migrating back to an electric with a Linux partition or a cutthroat.

I TOTALLY recommend...growing a beard. Like Cerium88 I found that cheap razors take your face off and expensive razors rip you off. I know I know...it's a scary thought, but if you keep it trim it doesn't tickle and the birds love it!

I use an electric beard trimmer as I usually have stubble or a small beard

I cant grow facial hair so I only have to shave once every 3-4 weeks, when I do I use Mrs. Dimery's Gillete Venus.

Electric. Braun. Probably the best razors in the world.

But that comes at a price. A few weeks ago the foil broke up, so I went to the shop to buy replacement and - to my surprise - they said Ill have to wait 10 days for the foil, because all they have at the moment are blade + foil sets. Besides, foil alone costs double price, so I was slightly advised to buy the set. What the hell do I need blades for, they are almost impossible to destroy accidentally (contrary to foil) and they are of great quality even after years of use? That's how we're being ripped off. I decided to wait 10 days, since I have beard and I shave only some parts - neck and cheeks - it wasnt that visible that my razor is broken.

Oh, and last year the trimmer broke and I had to replace whole casing. Customer service really isnt the strong side of the company.

Disposable razors? *shudders* Surprised

I use a Gillette. Blades are pricey, but it's worth it for a nice smooth shave.

Right. I have a goatee which I trim every three/four weeks. The razors I have for the rest of my facial hair are Gillette Sensor and Gillette Mach 3. The cartridges for the latter are really expensive so I try not to use them too much, or just use them even after they feel comfortable. As for the Sensor, I buy cheap Turkish cartridges. They are called Derby Samurai, have three blades and fit on a Sensor handle. The best part of it is they are three times cheaper than the Gillette twin-blade original cartridge, but are just as good in terms of quality and longevity.

PS Looking at the prices in the West, the Samurai cartridges are even a bigger bargain than here.

I have very fast and coarse facial hair. I'll shave at 7am, have 5 o'clock shadow before noon, thick stubble by bed time and a full beard the next morning. If i'm going out in the evening i'll shave again.

I use a Gillette Mach 3. I have to use something with at least 3 blades in it or it rips my face apart. It's expensive so i usually maintain a beard through the winter months.

I had a wet shave about twice and came out in loads of spots!

So have been using an electric shaver for years now. However for the last 18mths or so I have been using my head hsaver / trimmer on my face to give me the stubble look - which I prefer
