Save £££s on blades!
The cost of blades is shocking. Now, you can get your own back by making your usual blades last 3 or 4 times longer. Just simply thinly smear the blade with petroleum jelly (castor oil is great, too) before use and re-apply 2 or 3 times during the shaving process. My blades used to last a week - now they last a month!
