Best shaver and cream combination ?

Sh3rlock · 3 Jul 2008 at 12:03

Im using the Mach 3 Fusion at the moment and nivia shaving gel, but i find it leaves my neck quite irritated. Ive tried so many different makes of creams and gels but just cant find one that provides a comfortable shave.

Merkur Futur with Feather Blades and Proraso Green Shaving Cream.

Failing that, any multi blade fashion vibro shaver with KoS Alpha Oil and KoS Alpha Gel. Must be why I'm so Alpha.

Will it shave close enough, with a tidy finish ?

Does for me.

I have sensitive skin and get blotchy red patches when I use a disposable/cream. Never experienced that since I switched to electric though.

Gillette Fusion and Clinique Shaving Cream. Out of all the gels/creams/foams I've tried Clinique Shaving Cream gives by far the closest shave with no irritation.

This is extremely good advice. I prefer Trumper's cream but the soap is almost as good.

Mine is like this. Slightly older model, as I've had it a couple of years now.

Edit: Actually mine is better than that - it has a trimmer on the back, and a full LCD display.

Agree.

Merkur is the way to go.

I recently switched to a Merkur and love it, just be careful not to rip your face off

.

10p blades for the win

mach 3 + KOS Oil+ KOS gel = perfect for sensitive skin.

IceAx · 3 Jul 2008 at 13:35

Agreed with this. Although I must say I've never tried using a none electric shaver.
