What razor do you use.

[MashBag]

Ages ago I moved back to a nice double edge razor and Derby blades.

Stunning shave, pleasure to use and a fraction of the price.

What are you guys using?

Hi Mash

I use a Mach 3 and a razorpit,
Razorpit - Rexell

Usually 1 Mach 3 lasts me around 8 months or so.

 

[MashBag]

I hadn't got you down for having a beard fella

 

[MashBag]

Ooooo missed the point.
Razorpit so you sharpen them, are you pleased with the result?

I started out, trying to sharpen and gave up.

I’ve being using a Mach 3 for a good few years, yes the blades are horribly overpriced and I am now rather interested in the ‘Razorpit‘ mentioned by Nashbrew but on the whole it works, it gives a clean shave and doesn’t leave my face a bleeding mess.

I've been using the usual Gillette for many years and though they're very pricy but I found a blade lasts for ages on me...maybe I have soft bum-fluffy whiskers, however in the last year or so I've not been getting anywhere near the life out of them (seems to have been a drop in quality) and it is now getting very pricy so have actually just got a decent electric shaver. Game changer....close enough shave, but alot less hassle than wet shaving especially if I'm away from home. Life is just too short.

Yep been using the Razorpit for about 6 or more years now.
I only average about 2 replacements a year now.
My brother first put me onto it, he is bold was going through razors like burning money when shaving his head or at least the hair that was left.

Double edge and Personna Platinum blades. When I moved to double-edge, I had no idea why anyone bought cartridges. Shave is much much better and it's dirt cheap.

The last time I bought blades I got 100 for £14.00 so 14p each, I only use a blade twice so 7p per shave, some people use for 4 or 5 shaves so even cheaper.

Use a blade twice? Mine last about a month, probably more. I honestly can't remember when I last bought blades - but it was probably over 2 years ago. I change them when the begin to get a bit uncomfortable to shave with. Definitely a Gilette razor, can't remember which flavour though.

I hate shaving. Once a week I use the trimmer bit on an electric to hack off what I need to...

 

[Jim Brewster]

I only use one to tidy the edge of my beard, I use a Harry's one I got free about 4 years ago, still with the same blade

 

[Graz]

Phillips electric job. Since lock down and now that I'm on a 3/2 work from home pattern I tend not to shave from Thursday until Monday as I'm either working from home or it's the weekend.

I use Wahl hair clippers without an end to get my "stubbly old bloke" look.
If we are out somewhere posh, then I got some cheap Lidl dual blade disposables somewhere.

And on/near my birthday I might treat myself at the turkish barbers

I also hate wet shaving i always seem to cut myself whatever razor i use so i switched to a Braun foil ages ago i am happy with the job it does and i now keep on top of it which i didnt used to when wet shaving.

I use a double edged razor, I alternate between a Merkur 34C and a Merkur Futur.

I’ve got a few different blades but most often use a Voskhod blade which gives a really smooth shave. Tend to use the blades 2 or 3 times each.

I spent a fair bit a few years ago on razors, blades, brushes soaps etc, but I’ve not spent a penny on shaving for at least 5 years now.

So cheap no point push them any further.

 

[Ade McDade]

BIC Flex 5 , shave twice a week.

 

[Beermonster66]

Gillette Contour, once a week. I have a beard so only a couple of inches round the neck and cheekbones to cover. A can of shaving foam lasts me a year.
