The Shaving Thread

snip.... i get about 15 shaves out of my mach 3 blades.....snip

Say what??? 15 shaves out of 1 Mach III blade?? Sorry dude, but I have fairly fair hair and when I used those, I used to get maybe a week out of 'em and that was skipping days shaving at times 'cause I hated it so much.

As for cost of DE blades, don't look in stores. There are many vendors on-line for them. Check Derby or Feather.

When you care about a close comfortable shave, you throw away the blades a lot sooner. Anyway DE blades are about 15 cents and last about a week. YMMV depending on your beard, water quality, shaving habits, etc.

Well Newfie, now you've gone and done it. I've gone and joined another board...B&B. I have supplies on the way and it seems the brewing of another obsession/addiction/disorder.

I also joined the other day, alot of good info there.

I've received all of my order except for the razor, I think they planned it that way so I would suffer.

Well the brush came in today. So I tried the whole thing. Used the new brush, it's a travel sized Tweezerman badger hair brush, the shaving soap from Santa, smells of tobacco and leather, and my antique Gillette safety razor. Not nearly as scary as I thought it would be. I didn't get a super close shave as I was a bit timid but I did it and I feel good about that.

Wow so i am apparently a HUGE shaving newb. I jus threw one out after prolly thirty shaves. didn't seem to be horrible. not ideal given, but not horrible. i mean i shave about 5 times a weeks so maybe i just have really fair hair.
