Real men grow beards.

I did after one attempt at emulating Desperate Dan's facial depilation method

With this 18" high model of blowlamp:

Mach 3's here too ,the wife says the stubble rash on her thi..never mind..there a good shave

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

I've thought about a safety razor pretty much every time I've had to buy a pack of Mach 3s but two things put me off:

1) Amazon always recommends adding Alum to your purchase and,
2) There's a reason why millions of men switched overnight to cartridge razors.

Instead of buying a pack of 25 disposable razors from the 99p shop stick a sanding wheel in a Black & Decker instead. You'll get a closer shave and it won't tear as many lumps out of your skin.

Alternatively rub your face on the gable end of your house

Marketing.....
Buy a decent double edge razor and some blades.... You'll save yourself a fortune and have a much closer shave.

Marketing..... Gillette spent millions persuading gullible people that they needed a 5 blade monstrosity that cost a fortune run....

Alum is great, it's the best thing for razor burn. I bought a bloc alum years ago and it'll probably last until I die.

25 razors for 99p and they rip your face appart...? No siht sherlock.

They do a budget pack of 30 for the same price. But I'm no tightwad...

Straight razor is the way to go, never have to replace the blade if you buy a half way decent one. Also handy if you get in a fight in your bathroom.

 

[Profpointy]

Get a proper heavy brass safety razor. I had an old one which I lost, then used various patent double blade things for years, then fairly recently bought an Edwin jagger chromed brass safety razor and some blades. The razor itself was twenty odd quid, but the blades are very cheap indeed. Rarely cut myself, and get a good shave every time. The good quality heavy razor holds the thin blades securely, so like a good wood-plane, it all then just works. No need to fall for all the "men's grooming" lotions and potions and other shyte that Mr Jagger sells; just get the razor & some blades. I'll never go back to quarto-turbo-super-patent bollocks.

One hint for the tightwads amongst us - if the blade goes blunt, you can turn it over and keep using it.
For the hard of thinking - this only works the once for a given blade

...what profpointy said......Edwin Jagger - way to go..............and a badger brush
