Shaving is for pussies. In more ways than one. Grow a beard you wimps!

+1
A real beard.  Not some sculptured aussi style facial hair or a la de da moustache.


Lumberjack/hillbilly style :grin:


I don't think a semi will give the same results

I switched to DE shaving. Blades work out to around 15-30p each and I get three shaves out of each one (ie a week). That works out to around £15 per year.

Same, never looked back! My favourite ones are the persona (morrisons) 19p each and they last about two weeks. Since switching to double edge, i can go against the grain on my face without irritation, whereas with the triple blades, i'd get irritated in any direction!

I shave when I want... but foooook me are those fusion blades expensive and pretty sh!t may I add. My fav used to be sensor excel until the feckers phased them out  :angry:


Good tip... off to try  :cool:

They only cost 10p to make as well  :cool:

I like Gillette 7 o'clock sharp edge (yellow). My fave. I now use it only for special occasions. I found Feathers far too aggressive.

Where do you get your blades from? When i bought the shaver two years ago i got a few packs of blades with it (derby and something i cant remember) and i still have them, only ones i bought were morisons ones, and some cheap ones from wilko, i think something stupid like 9p each, but they didnt like my face!
