INteresting. was looking at the Leaf Twig.

After years trying to get to grips with DE shaving IM about ready to surrender.

I have however consider an SE or maybe something of a transition DE like the Muhle Companion.

Anyone used the companion?

update well worth getting the leaf for a head shave ..a lot of it has to do with blades ..i've tried 10-15 brands permasharpe and nacet are my go to now..but that depends on your skin and hair ..

Just picked up a leaf razor (thanks for that ) where do you buy your single edge blades from ? And what’re you using ? Edit. Bought it in the blue colour!

but you can use full blades just snap them in half by folding them .. in the wrapper
i use permasharp .. but you really do have to try a few .. some are good for one person and bad for another

Ah I see. I didn’t realise you could snap doubles in half. So I have a bunch of feather doubles edges…I can just snap em in half ?? There doesn’t seem to be a seam or anything on the blade ..

Does anyone have a Philips Oneblade and can advise on the different model types? There seems to be a Pro model, 360, Pro 360, Norelco Philips models... it's all very confusing

I have somewhere between a 7-10 day stubble/beard (2-4mm at a guess) and use a beard trimmer, and a clean wet shave on my neck. My beard trimmer was a cheap one that is very blunt now, thinking a Oneblade could do that all with no need to keep buying proper razor blades either.

Afternoon All!

I have a Jagen David wet razor but my Remington MB350L Lithium cordless trimmer is 3+ old now and the battery is starting to lose charge hold, and good cordless beard trimmers available?

Thanks!

I use a Wahl one for trimming down to stubble when I cant be bothered having a proper shave, had a few Wahl trimmers down the years and they are generally pretty good. Usually do ok With Remington too though.

Had a Babylis (spelling?) one which went blunt and died a bit too quickly so I tend to avoid those now.
