The Mighty Hog 334 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I've got the 34C, cracking razor for the price. http://www.shaving-shack.com/shop/catalog/...sic-p-2725.html Takes a little while to get used to, as said before. But I found that a styptic pencil was ideal for bigger cuts and Zirh Soothe aftershave balm heals up any small ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26192 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 The fact that you're following that review with advice on healing cuts isn't exactly reassuring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 If you're telling me that the average bloke spends £120 on razor blades you're taking the piss. 18 quid for 8 right. You'll easily used those 8 up in 2 months, ythey go blunt after a week. Maybe tramps from Spennymoor make them last longer. £14 here... http://www.blademail.co.uk/acatalog/M3Power.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Hog 334 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I know, not exactly a great way to plug it but it's the biggest thing you'll notice as you'll keep the old habbits from the disposibles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 133 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Fuck that, being a slap-head, I shave my chin when I shave my head, saves me a fortune, just run the clippers over my dome then over my chin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W 0 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 these 27 blade modern razors are fine for acres of face but they're an absolute sod to get into your nose or ears................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26192 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 My first go with the Merkur was less than successful, no closer than with my Gillette but with about three pints of blood lost. I see what you mean now Hog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Hog 334 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) I found that going with the grain gave me as close a shave as doing two passes (one with and one against the grain) with one of the multi-blade razors. Don't suppose you used shaving soap and a shaving brush? That seemed to help me too. I'll see if I can find a decent guide. Found the three that helped me when I first started: http://artofmanliness.com/2008/01/04/how-t...e-your-grandpa/ http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6886845/ http://www.shaving-shack.com/shop/catalog/...Tips-sp-55.html If I'm feeling brave enough to go with and then shave against the grain I can get away with not shaving for 2-3 days. But I'm much more likely to nick myself going against the grain. Edited May 3, 2009 by The Mighty Hog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigChrisfgb 0 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 It makes me wounder why people would spend so much on a disposable shaver, when an electric one can do the same job, for far less money in the long run, even if you get an expensive one.

The Fish 8954 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 It makes me wounder why people would spend so much on a disposable shaver, when an electric one can do the same job, for far less money in the long run, even if you get an expensive one. Because no matter how good the electric one is, you'll never get a shave as close as you will with a wet shave. fwiw I tend to use an electric trimmer but don't go for the clean shaven look.
