Is it a good razor?

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I shave 2 or 3 times a week and the first one I used lasted 3 months before I had to change it.

Aye but what about when you used it on your face ;-)

Get a double edged razor and pay less than a tenner for 100 blades!

Get a double edged razor and pay less than a tenner for 100 blades!DE's are fine for the visage, unbeatable for value or closeness, especially when coupled with a nice lather from a badger hair shaving brush,,,,but I've yet to master shaving my head (for that Kojak look) with them. Cartridges always seem to be best for the bonce so Asda got hammered this morning,,,cheers HutchyHibby!

With the added bonus of getting a fantastic shave that a cartridge razor just can't match.

I ended up buying them direct from Gillette on Amazon for the same price I mentioned in the OP, might still be on offer there.

Yeah I use cartridges for the napper too, just not confident enough with the DE up there, I'd end up looking like a cat had attacked me or summin. I've actually just recently bought a freshly honed straight razor but I'm terrified to try it out!

For cartridge users, apparently the thing linked below is supposed to make them last absolutely ages.

I've always stuck with cartridges or electric. Never used a double-edged razor; that was sth my father would use. After reading this thread, I'm thinking maybe I could switch. I must be getting old, haha!

I'm not sure I could trust myself to use it and not look like I'd slashed myself 😱 how different is it from using cartridges? what's the best technique to get a smooth shave?

The only tips I could give are buy a selection of blades,,,you'd be surprised at how they differ. Shave more often but in one direction only, I find DE's aren't as forgiving if you shave against the grain.
And let the blade do the work, a well balanced razor requires less pressure than a regular cartridge blade,,,I found that out quite early on!

There are plenty online shops out there but I get most of my stuff from shaving-shack.com
