I am looking to get one. Any recommendations?

I thought you're supposed to be growing a 'tache?

I prefer the philips  type. Takes a week or two for your skin to get used to it but seems to do the trick.

Though nothing is as good as a wet shave.

I am...I've only got 8 days to go.

TBH I've never gotten on well with electric shavers. I either just use a beard trimmer to keep a bit of stubble or wet shave.

See a wet shave irritates my skin after a couple of days. Gets really sore.

I want one of those cut-throat razors. Where can I get one from?

It might be worth me adding at this point that I am a very materialistic person.

No input from jcpnothitpuberty yet?.... Suprising

I've got one, albeit an antique one. never tried using it.

I used a Remington rotating something or other for head maintenance when I needed to. Face has to be a wet shave though - on the face, electric is for girls (erm, obviously hairy unattractive girls)

Ref Michael and a cut throat razor...theres Todds up old town or Sweeneys at Rodbourne.

Wet shave for me!

Wet shave for me too, electric shaver make my skin go really red, horrible.  Mach 3 does me, although I am tempted with the new gillette (5 blade) thingymajig.

What are the most blades on the market now Jan?
8 ??

8 more chances to cut your fucking head off as I found out last night

This morning I look like something out of "Casualty"

Casualty used to be ace when every episode would start with a family eating breakfast or someone on their way to work, and you'd get to try and work out what was going to happen to who and which ones would survive.

It's all soap-operay now, and it's filmed in that weird digital way which makes it look strange.

Real life Bristol style.

I read that they want to leave Bristol and move to Cardiff.

I've never used an electric razor.

I might chip off to Brizzle tomorrow.

You can't shave your bollocks with an electric razor


FACT !

yeah that was ace, it'd start off with one bloke climbing up an electricity pylon and cut to a small boy eating an ice cream. You thought oh that guy up the pylon a defo dead man, but then 20 minutes in, the pylon guy turns out to be Charlie's long lost brother and that little boy has put his ice cream down and is busy eating rusty nails and washing them down with a pint or two of domestos.  

8 blades on one razor?  That's madness.

They open there new city centre officially on thursday i think...its been murder driving round the city the past few years.

A tache isn't just for Christmas. A tache is for life.

Phillishave, like the one you can use in the shower with gel and stuff. Although out here the real men use orbital sanders, for full Brazilians too ... as long as they have steady hands. And if they don't, that's what vodka is for.

I generally don't tend to shave, but when I do I have to use both - electric takes out the length on the beard and then the wet shave gives a nice, close shave.

But you should keep the moustache, they're ace.

My favourite is the classic bloke working in his garage, realises his bottle of white spirit/misc chemicals is leaking, I know! I'll poor it into this empty lemonade bottle. Scene Change to children getting ready for school.

Thats weird Ben...as a toddler i drank white spirit,aparently a white paint brush was cleaned in it and i thaught it was milk....fair play to the man next door as he ran with me in his arms to Southampton general,was in hospital for 10 days....maye i should get some royalties from casualty.

bread trimmer and wet shave for important stuff"!

Holby City's just as bad.  One patient goes in for a heart bypass, or such like serious surgery, anothe rperson walks in with a sore ankle?  Who dies, the one with the bad ankle, because he had a bad reaction to the drugs he was put on, or somethign similar, you just never know eh?

The Bill used to follow the same plot format week in and week out as well until it went all Hollyoaks.

You can't beat Heartbeat or Last of the Summer Wine though for the same plot every week.  Heartbeat astounds me more than others though it’s like a grown up Postman Pat set in the 60’s.

That bloody Greengrass.

Not forgetting The A Team .... each episode written around a guaranteed car does barrell roll

Quite right too.

Most tv shows would be improved by this...

and by a shed containing 3 barrels, an arc welder and a piece of girder that can be transformed into anything.

DRS strictly wet shave mate

Electric is great, especially for people like me with crap beards.

And improptu head shaving moments with the beard trimming attachment

I just use cheap old Gilette Blue II, which are nice and comfortable.

I got given a Mach 3, and it just gave me a horrid tash-rash so that went in the bin the same day. The Gilette Fusion, which also recently got given to me, was even worse and left my face looking and feeling like i'd shaved with a Bosch Sander, so that also went in the bin. Cheap shit razors are the only thing which seem to treat my skin with respect.

Braun thingy with an automatic cleaner thingy - niiiiiice

I own a beard trimmer for weekly trims (when i remember) and a Fusion somewhere just in case i fancy a change. Which i never do.

How long do people get out of a Mach 3 or turbo?

I was switching blades every week but of late I find I'm getting three weeks possibly more out of a blade and still getting a good close shave without any burn or nicks.

I suspect it maybe just reverse puberty and stubble is turning into whisps but the quality does appear to better than what it was on the Turbo blades.

Get through a mach 3 blade about every 2-3 weeks. Think the key is to keep it away from er indoors.

tee hee! they are very good for the minnie area!!

and bollocks

But women don't just nick your razor to shave their legs, it feels like they've been planing the fucking door with it.

I can relate to that nearly £10 for a packet of Mach III,Soon as wifey gets hold of them they are no good.I brought her Pretty pink girly razor,but she says the womens ones are not heavy duty enough.So your reference to planing the door is so spot on.

cause we have to do our legs armpits and minnie - its quite an area!

JFW has bollocks?

I can confirm thats an untruth!

Waaaaaaaaaaax it.

Looks better and lasts longer although the process of waxing a sack makes me weep at both ends.

ahhhh but to wax you have to grow long

as I have to wear shorts to work and swim quite alot its never a good look

Just go retro and grow a huge bush.

I really should try and find that video.

So how are we scoring the Mach III vs Wilkinson Sword's effort?

I am a Mach III man but am tempted to switch allegiance.

Lidls own label cheapos!

Like dragging a Chisel across your face!

Well I've just switched to the old Wilkos, and so far so go. Replacement blades are half the price and just as close a shave. Anyone want a used Mach 3?
