Futur 700 isn't it? They look good, how do you get on with the smooth handle?
Not quite...It is a qshave from Aliexpress! Cost me the princely sum of £6.87 including 5 Personna Apache blades and postage from China!!! Tried it earlier and it feels great and has a smooth adjustable action. Did have to use it on number 4 as anything lower didn't feel like it was taking anything off.

I love stumbling across threads I haven't seen before, especially ones like this, relevant as I've just used a disposable after running out of blades on my old gilette fusion 20 blade turbo supercharged V8 lol and can't be arsed to buy more expensive replacement blades.
Without reading from page 1, any suggestions on one of these old style razors or a starter pack?
Is that 6 quid one worth a go or just as a travel razor?
Never considered one of these before, but seems a decent idea

The qshave seems like it would be a good everyday razor when paired with some nice blades. I use feathers. It has a nice feel and would be a cheap way into de shaving but beware, it is a very addictive hobby...Without reading from page 1, any suggestions on one of these old style razors or a starter pack?

Seems like the same company and the box is similar but it definitely isn't disposable.Seems like a disposable?

I use a Muhle synthetic bristle brush with Poraso soap and bowl, so yes.
I use the same type of brush with either Taylor's soap, Queen Charlotte shaving cream (i can recommend the Vostok) or a standard Palmolive shaving stick. The prep is part of the relaxation IMO and you can't rush it.

Queen Charlotte soaps shut down at the end of last year.The prep is part of the relaxation IMO and you can't rush it.

Ah ok thanks.
Possibly a stupid question to you lot, but I didn't know what DE stood for until 10 mins ago so bear with me
Do you actually have to use specific soap and brush etc or is that just part of the experience? Or will any foam or gel do?
Foams and gels best avoided for the best results. Find a soap or cream you like and a decent brush. Possibly a stupid question to you lot, but I didn't know what DE stood for until 10 mins ago so bear with me

Watch geofatboy or mantic59 youtube vids.
So it's Sunday and i've been off for a week. Hence no shaving whatsoever.
Went in to engoy and excellent shave only to see that my Sandalwood TOBS cream is toast. Lid can't have been on properly and as there was only a small amount lesft it was just nasty.
Went to supermarket and I selected a King of Shaves Gel.. Hellish, disgusting stuff. Can't see how people use this gunk on a regular basis.
Some fresh cream ordered. I'll be hairy until it arrives

Most supermarkets stock Palmolive shaving sticks which are nice and cheap to have a couple in reserve. Much better than the canned crap.Went in to engoy and excellent shave only to see that my Sandalwood TOBS cream is toast.

Enjoying my de razor. As I bought things separately to start with, I did use gel as I had spare but have since got a brush and stick, enjoying using it and have got a bowl on the way too
My razor came with 5 blades so I'm ok for now, but just wondering where I can get those sample sets of blades? Couldn't see much on Amazon...
