glasgow jock Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Any recommendations for good razor blades?, I have spent a small fortune over the years on trying to avoid being shredded (unless it's at least two full days growth) whilst shaving, disposables, mach3, pro-glide, etc etc? Info appreciated lads (& you hairy lassies ?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flora MaDonald Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I cannae see past Gillette Mach 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weekevie04 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I've been using the Wilkinson Sword. It's pretty decent and gets that bit under your nose that the Mach 3 didn't. It's dear, but worth it and no cuts. You tried shaving every day? I used to skip days and it's much easier now doing it everyday and don't need shaving cream either that way.

Flora MaDonald Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I just shave in the David Gower - nae cream, just water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil r Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I just use double edged blades though I did recently have a try out with a cut throat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstevie007 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 It's not the Razor. Try this stuff - literally a pea-sized dod needed and you could use a blunt hacksaw without getting razor burn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 i dont really shave that much now, i just trim it down a bit, rarely shave it all off. Although it's nearly time for my once every 2 years haircut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnyTJS Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 The Wilkinson Hydro 3 (which I mistakenly called a Hydro 5 in the linked thread). A revelation after what I'd been using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clicked the link and read the thread forgot i was on the archived board and had about 10 seconds of total befuddlement as i recognized none of the topics and my brain flailed helplessly to explain. I used to joke in school how the razor companies had locked themselves into more blades = better, and we'd have 5 blade razors soon, how right i was.

Charlie Endell Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) I just shave in the David Gower - nae cream, just water.Does the wee mirror no steam up?Mach 3?? Didn't know they still made them. I'm sticking by Fusion ProGlide Power . I do fancy trying the safety razor and badger hair brush combo sometime but I'm not brave enough.

Flora MaDonald Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Unsurprisingly, the best Scotland the Brave I've had was in Turkey. I thought the qünt was going to kill me, but what a shave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwait City for me. 2 hours in the chair, hot towel, massage, shave and moisturise. Loads of sweet Arab tea and brushed up on my arabic into the bargain as the fella spoke a bit of English. Didn't need to shave again for about 3 days. Best 2 dinar I ever spent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redstevie007 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Don't think this is the best time to let anyone from the Middle East near your throat with a razor We're going back to August 2001 here. Kuwait City was actually a really friendly place - we were always a bit of a novelty, especially in the souks, and it was great fun learning to barter in Arabic. About a week after I left (I was at Ali Al Salem air base) there was a wee incident in New York and everthing changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Don't think this is the best time to let anyone from the Middle East near your throat with a razor the guy doing the beheading in the videos is English and not from the Middle East. Which damages the internal structure of the joke, but hey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALBANACH Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I'm a baldy and I find Mach 3 turbo in the shower under running water is the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Had the same problem but have used the Braun with the isopropyl alcohol cleaning system for years now without any bother. Occasionally Ill use a wet razor but that's because i've never used anything other than water on my beautiful face for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
they've_been_suckered Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Any recommendations for good razor blades?, I have spent a small fortune over the years on trying to avoid being shredded (unless it's at least two full days growth) whilst shaving, disposables, mach3, pro-glide, etc etc? Info appreciated lads (& you hairy lassies ?) try a double edged safety razor. Far cheaper than a Gillette cartridge razor and won't irritate your skin with the right routine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 A good tip is to run the blade(s) under very hot water before shaving. A better shave and prolongs the life of the blade(s) too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger intae them Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 A good tip is to run the blade(s) under very hot water before shaving. A better shave and prolongs the life of the blade(s) too! Disagree, got told years ago that it was heated blades that burnt/irritated the neck... & had next to no probs since making sure the blade is cool when shaving.

Deedee Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Any recommendations for good razor blades?, I have spent a small fortune over the years on trying to avoid being shredded (unless it's at least two full days growth) whilst shaving, disposables, mach3, pro-glide, etc etc? I tried every blade, shaving gel/cream and every after shave balm, moisturiser, etc and couldn`t get rid of my shaving rash. Bought a decent electric shaver and it disappeared within a week. Not as good a shave as a blade but you get used to it pretty quickly and it saves buying blades all the time. Wait till the January sales and boots always have the top of the range ones half price.
