Praise for ASDA Value Single Blade Razors

I can get 10 ASDA Value Single Blade Razors for 25p.

Each razor lasts me approximately 2 weeks and I get really good shaves.

IMHO, much better value than the vastly-overpriced Gillette, etc. razors.

What does everyone slse think ?

    I've had the reverse experience and swear by Wilkinson sword 2 blade. Cheaper in Wilko's rather than Tesco

    Cheap razors just don't cut it (groan)

    Depends on peoples skins and how often you shave.

    My skin is very sensitive and my hair is really rough and I also grow hair at an alarming rate, as I have a 5 oclock shadow by midday after shaving in the morning. My face has to be throughly soaked before I even attempt to shave otherwise it is hell shaving even with a top of the range blade. For instance I can never shave before a shower like some people do, well unless I stuck my head in a bucket of water for 15 mins or so.

    Something like a single blade razor, would leave my skin in tatters and I certainly wouldn't get two weeks out of one, I doubt even two days.

    Wilkinson razors in Tesco are 25p each. One lasts me a week.

    Cheap razors will cut my face and are not comparable.

  • I just get mine done once a week in the Greek shop. Proper wet shave.

    Probably works out cheaper than the cost of the razors with more blades than a cheese grater ;)
