What Razor do you use ?

[Kryton]

i use Schick Extra II sensitive.
theyre cheap and they dont (usually) make my skin bleed.
shaving sucks anyway and most times im walking around lookin like a bum coz i CBF shaving.

[Sourbastard]

Anyone who has met me knows I usually sport a beard of some sort at all times, but when I do shave, I usually use a gillete turbo, and one beard usually = one blade once all the screaming is over.

I've been considering buying a straight edge razor. Not just for the ability to sharpen it myself, but because im from south australia, and need to keep my serial killer skills sharp as well.

I use a combination of a Gillette twin blade pivoting head thingy (can't remeber the name) to shave where my beard isn't and Wahl clippers with No. 5 comb for where it is. Actually my wife uses the clippers on me.

Tried electric shavers and they give me a nasty rash on my neck that takes until the next day to clear up. I've used blades for a long time (even when I didn't have my beard) and they are quicker and much gentler on my skin. Tried one of those disposable razors once and cut the scar on my chin (long story) so now I have a scar on my scar.

LMFAO

You really can't go past the Gillette Mach 3. I can get a really close shave for a week out off one, which is really good value. Yes they are a little pricey, but you can get them reasonably cheap if you look, (ebay, pipeworks markets vic etc). This is an area that I know well as I must shave everyday for work and I have been doing so for 15 years. To think I started with a cut throat when I didn't even need to shave. Thank God for progress.

u obviously dont have to shave much....

I shave once a week, pack lasts me a month if im lucky... grow a beard in 2 weeks if im lazy and dont shave.

Just to itchy though..

Before you blame me, I never use his stuff, EVER.

The hair removal stuff warned of itchiness and possible reaction, but he thought he'd try it anyway... after a minute of the stuff being on his neck/face he was running around the house to get to the bathroom to wash it off. It stung severely. He had a reaction to it and his skin came up in huge welts that ended up weeping.

Don't use this stuff unless you have thick tough skin. It's vicious!

Lucky it wasnt used in other areas....could've been talking with a suspicious high pitched voice!

[loxxr6]

Upstairs or downstairs, its always a disposable style razer.

I can't stand electric shavers. None yet have given me a decent shave like a blade.

[DanXR6T]

I've tried heaps of different types but I used to use Mach 3 ones but currently use Schick Quattro - the world's first four bladed razor!!

I got it for in introductory special and then won another 4 blades via SMS lol.. That was about three months ago and I just started using the 1st of the free 4. So 2 blades in 3 months. It is ok, I pretty rarely cut myself but then again I don't bother doing a very thorough job. And cos I got the free replacement pack its worked out pretty cheap.. But I have about six or seven different razor handles, just need new heads lol..

I only shave the bare minimum for my job, which is Monday, Wednesday, Friday, as I work for a company that deals with food and I don't like wearing beard nets when I have to enter the factory.

Otherwise I'd only shave once every few weeks tops if I could.

I did buy a Phillishave use in the shower waterproof type job cos I was sick of using razors but I only used it a few times cos it sucked and now its sitting on the sink collecting dust. Takes ages to do a good job. Might give it away or get $10 for a pawn shop lol.. Waste of $150.

mach 3 turbo.....

[Dark Horse]

Mach 3 n/a here. I upgraded to Mach 3 Turbo and it sucked, I didn't mind the colour, but the handling was much better with the n/a (felt more solid and balanced, compared with light and airy with the Turbo).

[GlennBA]

Mach 3 turbo, a red one.

You guys are so lucky only having to shave your face, I'm not even going to start about all the things women do and buy.

And yes I do have PMS and I'm psychic!

:

Amen to that!!!!

[DanXR6T]

And funnily enough, after all the shaving that females do you'd think they'd be good at it.. My gf kept asking if she could shave my face and fearing her having a blade near my throat I kept saying no.

Eventually I said yes (we were on a roadtrip and figured she needed me to drive so I was pretty safe) and it was terrible!! She was too afraid of cutting me and so didn't press hard enough. I had to finish myself.. And yes this was actually about shaving, although having a gutter mind I know I could take a second meaning to it LOL..

Shick FX. Mum bought it for me, I aint one to turn down free stuff.

[FordFan86]

I pledge allegiance to the underworld
One nation under dog
There of which I stand alone
A face in the crowd
Unsung, against the mold
Without a doubt
Singled out
The only way I know


Minority lyrics ;) damn non mach 3 users :P

[XRQTOR]

Normally those cheap *** bic's. If i cant find any of them lying around i use a cut throat but normally only tidy up with it otherwise ill bleed to death.


Lol at the whinning women, cant help em selfs can they.

[Steffo]

Currently got Gillette Blue II Plus "Sensitive" disposables, 20 pack.

Who knows what sort the next disposables will be...

Doesn't matter if its me or my grandparents buying them for me... all they or I do is grab any disposable pack and pay for it.. heh.

nah not the 1's...i think you mean the disposable ones that come in a pack of 20.....

if anyone is lookin for a decent 3 bladed razor, thats cheap, the bic 1's that come in a pack of 4 are good....black razor with blue on the blade.

Yep them the one's, i dont buy em so they'll do. Yea got some of them blue and black ones aswell. Might try and find them they wern't half bad.

[YuGoStaR]

I have no allegiance to any razor in particular. As I work im a chemist on weekends I just try out a different type every week. Right now I got that mach3 electric thingo...Doesn't seem to be any different to a normal razor. I think its just marketing crap.

[blue fairy]

Waxing all the way!
But when shaving is needed.. Mach 3.
Is so much easier to steal a razor from the pack andy uses!

[Steve_T]

Used to use basic model electrics 'cause I thought it would be easier/quicker than manual, then tried manual shave and found it to be better/easier/quicker lol.

First used Schick Diamond (sweet lookin' machined alloy contoured handle - looks like something you'd pay Herrod's 150 bucks for instead of $8 at Coles LOL) - nice smooth shave but I CBF shaving until I have to go out for dinner or work at front counter at work or grow enough beard to start itching lol, the Diamond would get clogged up in seconds mowing through all the hair and couldn't unclog it lol - only good if you shave each day etc.

I then got a Mach 3 'cause of it's nice open 'free-flowing' blades which can't get clogged with hair - it works well. Blades last me for ages 'cause of my slack shaving habbits lol.

[CAMS290]

Mach III here, but i use that gillette shaving gell stuff, works good

[MAD]

I Just got one of the new M3 Power razors, and as gimicky as they seem, It was noticebly better, especially under my chin where I've always had a problem.
