***The Official Manly Shaving Thread***

Hallo Hallo! I want to try out DE , a quick question though.. I usually mow the grass about every two weeks..so the growth is fairly thick. Is DE a good way to go?? Or is it something which works better on lesser growth.
 
I've never had a problem mowing my face (about 5 times a month currently) but a single blade does a better job in 1 pass than a cartridge can do in 5. Doesn't clog up either and won't ruin your .....lawn?
I think after 2 weeks I would need a beard trimmer, never left it that long between shaves.

That wont be a problem with Open Comb DE's, they don't clog up with hair.

Take a look at something like a Fatip.
 
Anyone reccomend any shaving / toiletry bags? It would need to hold my shaving kit (inc. soap preferably) and things like face cloth, toothbrush etc.

How's something like this?

Or please throw me some recommendations.
 
I use a Ted Baker roll up type bag, I can't find it but it's just like .... this

I like them over just a deep bag, it means you can hang them up and find what you need rather than dig around amongst your stuff.

Interesting. In what ways does using a roll up bag limit what you can carry?

Mine doesn't. It has 2 big zip pockets and a net type pocket. It has a hook so when you unroll it you can hang it up in front of you. Easy.
 
Gents, incoming:

Merkur 34C

TRUEFITT & HILL FINEST SHAVE CREAM

Quick question , is there a particular blade i should start with as a beginner ?
Also heading out to India in a bit , anything which is a good idea to haul from there?

Cheers!
 
Derby's are considered to be a beginner blade as they are more forgiving than others.
Thats not to say they are not sharp but you'll probably only use 2 to get used to the technique before you step up a level.

Absolutely. Look out for real, proper Old Spice shaving cream. Still made in India by Shulton to the original recipe. It's really, really good. I am not winding you up!
 
Right as a complete convert to DE shaving I also sometimes don't have the time to do the ritual so still use disposables (I'm currently on my last Hydro blade) so have ordered the Cornerstone handle and blade pack for £4 as a trial.

Has anybody used this razor and can provide any feedback (the replacement heads are £14 for 6 so cheaper than Fusions etc.)
