Originally posted by TiroFijo View PostI use the original safety razor that takes the double edge blades, they only cost about £2.50 for five. None of those raygun looking razors thar have umpteen blades on em and cost an arm an leg to buy!
I moved from pricey Gillettes to Safety.
Specifically Mühle razor and Derby Blades (€10 for 100 )
After a learning curve: never looked back. This is my tip of the day on CUK.

Originally posted by Cliphead View PostBeen thinking about moving to Mühle. Right now a pack of ten Machx blades lasts me about two years cos I can't be arsed changing them every time they stop causing cuts hence blunt. A six month old blade does a reasonable job and causes my skin less irritation than a new blade.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
