Razors

These past few months I haven't been happy with my Gillette Fusion and decided to buy a different razor. This time I opted to purchase Gillette Pro Glide to find out that it cuts my face up and leaves me with blood all over my face. Are there any razors out there that any of you would recommend which won't cut my face up, but still give me a nice smooth shave?

I am strictly old school when it comes to shaving i use an Edwin Jagger safety razor and taylor of old bond street soap w/brush.

I highly recommend doing it that way.

I use a Gillette Mach 3 and it gives a good shave but the blades are bloody expensive for what they are. I have found the Bic safety razors to be just as efficient when on holiday but they don't give you as smooth a shave as the Gillette multi-blade.

I have tried electric razors but they are nowhere near as good as giving you a close shave like a blade.

I can recommend the Gillette pre shave scrub for applying to your face before you shave.

The thermal stuff?

I just use a beard trimmer. Not gone clean shaven for years now

I'd always despised and been shit at shaving. Such a piss around.

In December, Argos had various electric razors worth over £100 on sale at £30-£40, of which I informed Father Christmas right away.

Very impressed with it so far.

Went out and purchased a Wilkinson's Hydro 5 power select, and I must say, I am very impressed with it, Very smooth close shave, and no cuts. Think I may need to invest in some of that thermal face scrub though, hate having to soak my face for ages to open up my pores. Cheers for all the help lads. Do any of you use post shave balm? I swear by that stuff myself, also use moisturiser too.

I would recommend a Gillette Fusion.

I use a Gillette Fusion ProGlide to keep my beard under control.

orange bic £1 for 20 use once on head and face then bin total cost about £4/5 a year

Merkur (£20) then you can get 100 blades from ebay for £8 (derby extra). 1 blade = 8 shaves so a pack of 100 will last me a decade. I lather up with a brush and soap. God I'm boring

I HATE shaving, it feels like such a waste of time and indeed life. That said, I HAVE to shave, so I use a cheap Philips electric shaver. Good when used with Duracell batteries. Never given me any trouble.
