Gillette Mach3 Turbo

[goo_mason]

I recall goo_mason has a nice collection of cut throats etc!

I do indeed - along with a sizeable number of old DE Gillettes, SE Ever Readys, Rolls Razors, an old SE Wilkinson Sword, plus a few modern Merkurs (34C HD Classic, Futur and a long-handled one whose name I can't remember)

My large bathroom cabinet is stuffed full of razors, shaving soaps & creams, brushes, moisturisers and classic barbershop aftershaves.

It's become a bit of a hobby, but I've managed to hold off buying any more since the start of the year!!!

Double Edge for me too.
I've been using one for three or four years. Before that it was cheap Bic disposables, which as luck would have it just seemed to suit me and would give a cracking close shave. For some reason that stopped being the case hence the DE.

Ive slowly come to the realisation that the old, and usually trustworthy bic disposables have become cr@p. Might try the DE too.

I have a double edged razor that I keep going back to despite the fact I always seem to cut myself with it!!

It's easy to nick yourself but I find I do it far less than the Fusion I used to use.

I use an Alum block which stops any cuts from bleeding. . . stings like a sod though http://www.shaving-shack.com/alum-block.html

....Women really dig the stubbled look, don't they? ...

I just threaten to use his stubble as a hairbrush when I can't find my hairbrush or he has used mine yet again... works wonders for a couple of months or until the next cycling holiday when he just doesn't shave for the entire time...

Double edge and cut throat for me. I have a merkur 34c and a iwasaki straigh razor.

How complicated does shaving your legs need to be?

 

[Tanis8472]

First time i have ever bought them online.
Never again. Just been rather busy to get time to buy some in local shop.

Anyhow, they last about 6 months for 4 razors

I got some 'Duracell' batteries off ebay that were so clearly fake it was laughable. Damn things rattled...

+1 for old school double edged/Safety razors. Blades cost pennies and provide a far better shave than cartridges in my experience

Excellent feelings of manliness as you apply the shaving cream with a brush too

+1. Gave up on being ripped off by G*let and the other lot a year ago in in favour of a proper razor, blades, soap, brush and balm. Magic!

Boots Blade 3, shaves just like the super-duper branded ones and costs a third of the price.

What the frig are you doing buying razors from ebay? do you not have legs?

they're probably a bit stubbly

Double edge and cut throat for me. I have a merkur 34c and a iwasaki straigh razor.

I bet you use Tabac after shave too, don'tcha?

 

[palinurus]

I did some extrapolation. In 2040 shavers will have 19 blades.

 

[SpokeyDokey]

I've been running a Mach 3 for some time now in combination with a Badger Brush.

Fed up with the expense of new blades though.

Tried the Aldi clone (£2.99 inc' 4 blades) and it is spot on.
