***The Official Manly Shaving Thread***

Got a Gillette Superspeed/fatboy/slim adjustable you'd like to sell me?

 

[RoboCod]

Sorry, i'm keeping all my vintage razors for the time being

I know everyone is different, but i'd skip the fatboy and slim and just buy a Merkur Progress (short), that is a much nicer shave IMO.

Actually i'd skip the Progress and go straight to a Digress or Mergress, haha!

I'm tempted to have my Progress upgraded to a Digress at some point.

Hmm, interdasting. Much to ponder!! Darn you

Also, the thread title still needs changing!

It got changed by the mods a while back and I can't change it back. Pathetic nerd humour fail I guess (let them have it).

Nice work Rizzy. Putting that in the OP too, thanks

Can anyone recommend a metal polished shaving bowl around £10?

I have a perfect metal bowl. Cost £2. Shop: Pets at Home

You might also find the same at Range, Poundland, Poundstretchers, *insert any other cheapo store here*

Awww Cap'n, I always imagined you lathering up in an old artillery shell casing, or an upturned captured pickelhaube.

Ha, a pickelhaube would be excellent! Now an empty shell I could probably acquire!

As part of my final year project at University we are having to put together a business plan for a proposed idea from a client to create a website selling double edged razors.

We are currently just collecting some primary research and it would be much appreciated if you could spare a minute or two to complete the below survey.

Thanks

Did this

 

[RoboCod]

Yep, also used Witch Hazel. Very soothing - be sure to buy the lotion/splash rather than the "anti spot stick" that my gf got me

 

[RoboCod]

Haha, a very manly post. write back once you have tried more blades.

There is no bottom plate on the 34C. Interesting he has had such results. I can't fault my experience with the 34C :\

 

[RoboCod]

Well got a Edwin Jagger De89L for crimbo.

Took it for its first spin this morning, crikey! Best shave ever, I could barely feel it shaving, I had to double check

My closest shave to date as well, was using a Gillette sensor beforehand.

Good to hear you are pleased with your results. They will only get better too!

 

[RoboCod]

Anyone know where to buy the Gillette 7'o clock greens (permasharp)? I've got some of the yellows but can't get on with them.

I could post you a pack and you can try them out before you go and order a big batch online?

 

[RoboCod]

That would be awesome if you wouldn't mind

Email me your address. Email in trust

So I decided to start shaving with a DE Razor.
I love it, very much approve.
But I got given a shaving brush that was an artificial bristle one from bodyshop and it's losing bristles.
I only got it at christmas so I was wondering if I'm being too rough with the brush or if it's just poor quality brush, Any Ideas?

A few hair losses to begin is usual. If it all falls out in a few months I'd be sending it back

 

[RoboCod]

How much did you pay?

 

[RoboCod]

Yes!

 

[RoboCod]

Also a palm olive stick fan here. I like lots of the nice expensive ones too though

 

[RoboCod]

I've had my 34c for over two years now. I shave every working day with it. No chipping and no problems whatsoever. What are these people doing to their razors?

 

[RoboCod]

Spaceman which adjustable would you suggest?

 

[RoboCod]

How much scorchi? Thanks spaceman, I'll look into those!
