Are razor blades soon to be the new world currency?

£5.40 for FOUR! Gawd this is crazy. I don't know what's happening here
but it seems every 5 mins there's new blade with even more edges on it
promising an "even closer" shave.

For years I was quite happy with Gillette GII but it seems some bright
callow youth somewhere needed 2000 edges - but the management beat him
down to 3 or 4.

And the strange thing is the replacements for the "old-fashioned" GII
(if you can find them), don't really fit properly and even if they do,
seem to have blunt edges. Another scam (I think) is that the
wobbled-headed razors *have* to have exactly the right head otherwise
you can give yourself a good slicing before breakfast. (They judder
effect is remarkable)! I recall that with the fixed head ones, if you
could get the head on it - it would at least work.

GCSE question 1. If there are 200 types of razor in the shop and 5
million types of head, what is the chance of a grumpy old bloke
getting a decent shave before a new design is announced? Explain your
answer.

(And before anyone says it - No I don't want to grow beard!)

During my 30 years or so shaving career I've used 1, 2, 3, 4 and most
recently 5 bladed razors with upgrades normally being "forced" by equipment
loss (typically razors left in hotel rooms).

Bought a 5 blade (actually there are 6!) Gillette Fusion last year on
impulse and it is amazing. Being fundamentally tight I make the blades last
as long as possible. Seem to go minimum 10 weeks between changes.

15 quid for an 8 pack though! Complete stitch up. At least they'll last me18
months.

Incidentally my father somehow has blagged his way onto Gillette's long term
test team. Every few weeks he is sent new blades free, in return all he has
to do is answer a simple questionnaire by email.

Bic sensitive disposables work well for me. I can get about five shaves
from each one.

A lad my daughter knows sells them on e-bay and makes a tidy sum from doing
so. Apparently he has a mate in Germany, where they are much cheaper, who
sends them over.

Worth looking online I suppose - unless you lnow any Germans?

A useful tip thanks, I suppose it's to do with the size of the market, wot

Tesco's have their own dual blades.
I always clean the blades with an old tooth brush after use, to get rid of
the build up.

Here's a tip: Cheap single-bladed disposables.

If you didn't shave over the weekend, then the bristles are a bit
longer and the 47-bladed ten-quid-a-shave TurboMax clogs solid and
works badly. Shave first with the cheapest and cheeriest from the
supermarket bargain bin. It works _better_. You can always give it a
polish off with the hydra-headed beasty afterwards.

Oh, and "King of Shaves" shaving oil is everything they claim of it.
You really do only need 3 drops. Amazing stuff.

This reminded me that my Father used the (now old fashion) slotted
blades that fitted into the razor. He kept a jam jar and when the blade
became blunt he would wet the inside of the jar the place the blade
inside then work it round and round to sharpen it for reuse. Can't do
that with the modern ones! :-)

Oh I just use SWMBO's toothbrush^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h Yes,
using an old brush is a good idea.

Actually that's one reason I've found for the branded blades being
better than the supermarket versions: the branded ones tend to have a
gap at the back, so water can flow through the gap between the blades
and wash out the bristles; however the cheapie ones are just moulded
into the plastic heads, so you can't get water flowing through the gap
and they clog.

Nobody's mentioned it, but there is a school of thought which says that
the whole "shaves you close then closer still" concept, with that little
cartoon of the blades cutting a bristle which we all remember, is just a
load of total marketing ********, and that none of them work any better
than a single blade. There was a thread (and link to somebody's
'research' website IIRC) on www.moneysavingexpert.com a couple of years
ago, but I can't find it now.

Can you still get these blades? frankly that sort of razor is what I

sales..and frankly, I'd go back like a shot if I could..

BUT that really does clog the multi bladed type.
For the 'day after' a no shave day, use 'soap/foam/creme' over the oil to
keep the blades clean.

I still have and use a couple of Rolls razors - single-blade safety razor in
a case with a stone one one lid, a strop on the other and a clever
rack/pinion/friction clutch so that one can waggle a handle and hone and
strop the blade (which produces a noise like, well, a steel blade repeatedly
whacking on a stone, only much, much louder!) - they turn up in junk^h^h^h^h
"antique" shops now and then, and give a good shave for a single blade [x].
There are a couple or more variations, my favourite is the aluminium
Viscount "travel" model, half the weight of the original nickel plated brass
ones - they're still available[y] new, should anyone have the urge, through
Caswell Massey Pharmacies, the Pharmacy at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York
City!

Mine has gone for about 10 years on two blades, and if my girlfriend borrows
it (unlikely, as it *looks* quite frightening), she can resharpen it in a
few minutes...

Dave H.
(The engineer formerly known as Homeless)

[x] The multi-blade razors do actually shave better than single - there's a
phenomenon (do doo-bie doobie) known as "beard hysteresis" such that the
first pass tugs the hair out of the follicle slightly and the hair takes
about 50 - 100 milliseconds to return to rest, allowing a second ( to n-th)
blade to remove slightly more of the hair.

[y] On ebay they seem to only reach a few quid, less than a pack of
blades... Check that they're complete and undamaged, broken hones and cut
strops can render them useless.

For years I was quite happy with Gillette GII but it seems some bright
callow youth somewhere needed 2000 edges - but the management beat him
down to 3 or 4.

And the strange thing is the replacements for the "old-fashioned" GII
(if you can find them), don't really fit properly and even if they do,
seem to have blunt edges. Another scam (I think) is that the
wobbled-headed razors *have* to have exactly the right head otherwise
you can give yourself a good slicing before breakfast. (They judder
effect is remarkable)! I recall that with the fixed head ones, if you
could get the head on it - it would at least work.

I believe too that if you have more than 2 blades your not gaining much the
first and last blades go blunt long before any of the ones in between. There
was a guy on "the big idea" or some such show who came up with a four blade
razor that you could swap around to get the best wear out of the blades.

AND I STILL CAN'T FIT INTO MY SUIT TROUSERS !!!

Are they cheap in Belguim as well then? I go every few months for Gordon
free fags.

I believe it's Amsterdam for that....


I feel a business oppourtunity coming on......

Don't use Eurotunnel, then. In Coquelles, French Customs check on

BTW suit trousers are well known for shrinking - mine do it as well.

Common problem
