Shaving Blades

Options
Guys any bargains on men shaving blades? I normally use the gillette match 3 but now thinking of moving to disposable in the hope they may be cheaper

    Hi,

    Look out for Wilkinson Sword Extra II disposables when they are on offer, BOGOF or the like in Supermarkets/Boots etc. I find them very good.

    I have a stock, so haven't noticed any offers recently - sorry.

    Regards,

  • I bought some on eBay which I currently use, but I hope they arent fake!

    How many times do people use each blade before they move on to another?

    I find Personna disposables pretty good and usually cheap at Home Bargains.

    Hi,

    What about trying the old-fashioned safety razor type ? I recently bought one of these from Boots (3 quid-ish) and the blades are dirt cheap to replace. Shaving is a bit trickier, but when you get used to it, I find it a much better shave.

    Try getting one of those old fashioned shave sticks and a shaving brush (or use the foam type shaving cream). Take your time shaving, use short strokes and don't press hard onto the face. Also, wash out the shave head frequently when shaving.

    If you can get the hang, it will definetly work out cheaper.

    HTH,

    Keith
