Do you find that disposables give you rashes even with your face very soft from a steaming shower? Maybe you are just shaving with a hard face, i get rashes too when shaving closely if i dont soften up first. Once softened i can shave against the grain all week on a disposable without anything other than some soap to lube it slightly.
I never got on with the multi blade ones, but i still find the single blade disposable irritates my skin as well, but i think i just have sensitive skin.
Got a mate who swears by some single blade razor called merkur i think, keep meaning to read up on it, but never had the time.

Ive used a "real razor" with "real blades" for a year and no way is it is good as the mighty quintuple bladed Fusion!
We used to get a neighbours dog to lick our faces instead of shaving foam we were so poor. And i only ever got a new blade at Christams.

When will all you 'boys' realise that all of the razors ever advertised on TV are overpriced gimmicks. You don't need 5 blades, lubricating strips, vibrator, neon lights and flames up the side of the razor, you just need to learn to shave properly.
You only need ONE (1), I shall repeat ONE blade on a razor. A cheapo bic or a good ol' fashioned razor blade type is all you need. Better still a cut throat for extra manliness points.
If it's on a TV advert, don't buy it. I can't wait for the next manifestation of the marketing evolution of the humble razor. It has been turned from an everyday male grooming appliance to a bloody penis extension. What next, 6, 7 or 8 blades, lubristrips that ooze some herbs from Brazil. These items are the shaving equivalent of the supoed up Nova or 106 with a huge spoiler on the back playing crappy garage music at near deafening levels. Put simply, they are the Chav of the shaving world, flashy, loud and classless.
Get a grip, you are men, act like it and use a single blade, soap and hot water.
Brilliant post, agree with everything. lol

its is rubbish. not the razor, i mean that fact that its on tv making it crap. the fusion is the best razor ive used bar none. Maybe its just a coincidence that its got 5 blades, i dunno, but it works and works very well. disposable razors = no chance, not on my face. they dont work. maybe a cut throat will do better, i dont really care

Yah me and the boys, you know Peter and Paul. We often have shaving parties. We all jump in a big tub full of lovley bubbles,stick on a Lionel Richie CD and soften our bodies up, except in 1 area. Then we take it in turns to shave each other. Last time we did it we drank 2 whole bottles of babycham! ive never been so smooth in all my life!

Must admit, i dont usually use proper razors, i normally use my electric as shaving with a blade gives me a rash...
but i thought **** it im gonna train myself, gotta fight the rash. So i bought one of these. Having used a mach 3 and other alternatives ive been reasonably happy with how clean my face has felt.
But this fancy fusion thing doesnt really impress me anywhere near as much as people seem to be saying. I shave with the grain, then i go back against it to get the final closeness, but it just doesnt seem to be that impressive.
I think the 3 bladed razor was more manouverable, i admit that im not as hairy as some people so my stubble isnt really thick as some. but I do appreciate a close shave non the less.
Nice shaver, yeah i guess so. But worth 8 quid? i dont think so!.
Really. Dont fall for the advertising.

i love my fusion, by far the best razor ive ever used. i used to use a cut throat (despite being 17 at the time of first using one) but i lost it so went to mach3, and now fusion. the blades on my fusion have lasted over 20 shaves now which is somewhat insane. will be replacing the blades with cheaper ones sourced via ebay!
agreed. Tried normal one and power one and prefer the power one. Usually end up rushing shaving and this is better than mach3 had before. price of blades though is stupid so will be sourcing cheaper ones or going bk to another make.
Well whatever works for you
