Multi-blade razors

[LordGrover]

Alum block with help with burns, rashes and very minor nicks, but a styptic pencil will staunch a decent flow.

Had an email earlier saying they'll be a bit longer to arrive.

Also cut myself badly with the feather again pissing blood!!

Give Personna Platinums a go, much better than Feathers IMO

...and if you do, remember I've got loads of them available cheaply!

[LordGrover]

Personna/Israeli reds?

[griffin dai]

Yeah the Persona's were good. Also a big fan of the Gillete Super Blue now. I'm getting a better shave with these, no rash or nic's.

I'm ordering the pen later! I've left it grow a few days now so hopefully the cuts healed up nice!!

Yep. I use Feathers solely, but by god they blunt quickly!

yhm

The moral of the story? Don't rush with a DE.

Get back to you this evening, thanks.

Last time I shaved with a multi-blade was over 2 years ago when I was flying. I travel light so only carry hand luggage and obviously you can't carry razor blades on board. Though I did get through Edinburgh security with a blade in my razor the trip before!

I have been using an Edwin Jagger, Roseacre goats milk shaving soap, Simpsons badger brush and Gillette Super Blue blades. I don't always shave every day and I find that the combination cuts through my sometimes heavy growth without causing razor rash.

Going to need to get more blades though as my dog chewed the last lot

Received. Thanks muchly.

[Bonefish Blues]

Most welcome.

I shall struggle on with Feathers since they're all that cuts the wire wool that issues from my chin

Check out these bad boys.
Bit old and tired but could they be made good?

[griffin dai]

Gents if you could pick 3 or 4 from the link below what would you get? (Minus feathers, Persona Israeli Reds, Gillete Siilver Blue & Wilkinson as I've got these, like them and use them mainly)

Thanks Dai

For me, the Gillette 7 o'clock Sharp Edge in an aggressive razor and Personna Red or Feather in a milder razor.

Should be fine with a bit of work. I bought a couple of these in different grades:
Whetstone and a Strop

Bit of elbow grease is needed but my vintage straight razor has come up very nicely and is pretty easy to maintain.

Luckily not my nads!! My fault, rushing before a funeral and nicked my neck below my ear! Blood everywhere!! I haven't had one nic with the other blades but these feathers are super sharp!!! Luckily my shirt collar was a cm below the cut so stayed blood free....and my beard covered it a bit so nobody noticed. Just got stick off some of my family as they've not seen the beard before & kept calling me Jewish

I've bought some alum block now...just in case!!

I've done this a couple of times, especially when rushing, once in exactly the same place as you, the razor jumped a little and just sliced my neck! I've also nicked my nose a couple of times, that hurts!

Nose-nicking ceased for me when the Futur went

Yeah hurts like a bd

I'm lucky though and have a Zac Dingle beard so only shave above & below to shape it Would probably cut my lip off otherwise! Almost cut myself again this week, tired & working nights the razor slipped out my hand when the phone rang! Miracle I didn't cut anything!

[Nardies]

The Futur was certainly a git for doing that, I'm now using a EJ89 and still manage it!
