£3.30 per blade

GTFOOH!!!

I treated myself to this.

You have to go to ASDA,

I know it's beneath many but they had an offer, don't know if they still do.

The razor and 5 blades was £11.97

It is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.

Ah, seems likely. Feathers are around £25/100 or 25p each Amazon.

Note that they takes ages to arrive - I ordered some a week back, and they're arriving on/around 4th June.

Still, takes me a year or more to get through 100 blades, so not really a huge problem. Except that I forgot that I was on my last packet, so I'm now having to make do with some Merkur blades, which I don't find to be anywhere near as good. Still, First World problems and all that..........

Shaving-shack have Feathers @ £23.99/100 (or £10.19/30, £4.09/10) and free postage. 10% discount if you sign up to their mailing list. I've been totally happy with their service.

I know I'm still newish to DE shaving but I buy Feathers blades from Amazon and they've not taken that long! Like many Amazon products it could be a case of it coming a week earlier than stated.

Or did you mean 0.029 pence or 0.029 pounds?

I see Gillette have got bored adding blades to their razors and have now added a Dyson ball to them instead

Hi all

I've been a convert to DE shaving for the past three-ish years thanks to this thread but I'm becoming increasing frustrated with my current brush.

I generally only shave a couple of times a week and the Taylor's brush I use doesn't really seem to agitate the stubble/beard. It does lather the soap up really well but just feels a bit soft on the face.

I'm willing to splash out on the right brush but could I ask people's advice on how to choose the right brush rather than buying 2-3 before getting one that suit.

Cheers

If you want a brush that you can really give your face some "welly" with, you might like to look at the Muhle synthetics.

... or a nice horse hair brush. I have one I keep mainly for travel as I don't want to lose my EJ or Simpson.
It's a great brush though and coarser than the badger brushes.

Something like an Omega boar would be more scrubby than most badgers or synthetics.
It will be a bit harsh the first dozen or so uses, but then will just be pleasantly scritchy once worn in. Only £10 too, so not the end of the world if you find it's not for you.

I thought that this shaving hobby was confined to a very few....and to my astonishment, ( I am one of those multiblade cretins), there seems to be a worldwide movement......

Feathers here are £7.99/30...no connection just happy customer.

Is there a difference between the yellow and red pack? My previous Feather blades were in a yellow pack... one of the reviews says avoid the red ones?

Good catch.
I didn't notice that - as you say, I've had yellow pack before, not red.

Quick! Amazon lightning deal on right now:
Edwin Jagger DE89L £16.99 delivered.

The discount finishes at 1pm today, or before if they're all sold.

I only visited Amazon to buy one anyway, what a stroke of luck.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Guess the Amazon stock has gone cannot find the DE89 at that price.

received an email flyer about the Razolution 4Edge today - what are people's views on this hybrid?
