Has anyone got a new source for the Feather blades from Hong Kong recently from a few pages back in 2015, looked back at my ebay purchase history to find they no longer sell them, I'm getting low on stock?
Always used these guys. They do a discount for bulk purchasing so I buy 100 blades at a time.http://www.shaving-shack.com/10-feather-hi-stainle...

New arrival on this thread.
I normally shave in the shower. Six days a week - roughly - I use a Braun 340(?) electric.
Occasionally I fell the need to use a safety razor to get those stubborn bits. I used to have a no name three blade razor from a supermarket. But I can't find it to get a replacement.
Any ideas?
Please keep the cost down.

I used to buy the Gillette system, Mach 3 and Mach 3 Turbo, I thought that the blades were just too expensive and bought a Cien razor and 20 blades for about £4 from Lidl. I normally shave in the shower. Six days a week - roughly - I use a Braun 340(?) electric.

The bottom line is that they work, but I dislike using them. if all you want a cartridge shaver at the lowest price then ok, I will use up the 20 blades but wouldnt buy them again.
You really feel like you are shaving on a budget.

I bought these based on what people said on here. I shave maybe once a week at the most. previously always used gilette multi-blade stuff. this does the job fine. I'll use 1 blade a month or just swap them whenever i feel like it.I used to subscribe to Bearded Colonel for my multi-blades but I cancelled recently as to be honest the blades are not as good quality as the Gillette Mach 3 and for my face the razor head does not move across the face as smooth.
Trouble is Mach 3 are prohibitively expensive so I am looking to trial one of the other subscription services:
Cornerstone
Harrys
Dollar Shave Club
etc
What is recommended currently?

I've a request too. Which shaving foam/gel (whatever) that you can buy from a supermarket do you all highly rate?
I used to use soap ages ago. i tried the shaving gel (gilette), IMO i didn't get as close a shave, so when back to using the normal cheap gilette foam. shave is good, but it leaves the skin feeling dry for 1-2 days (even when i moisturize heavily). i went back to normal soap (imperial leather) the other week and I had no problems!

Pop into your local Super drug (yes, I know) and pick up a tube of Ingram shaving cream for £2.75 or so. Lasts ages and gives a nice shave with good protection - even wet shaving with my double edge razor I get no razor rash... You will need a shaving brush too to work the lather up (bowl or directly onto your face).

I've used lots of brands over the past 6 months (for 4 years I had some what of a lumber jack beard....)
I'm currently using a hot flanel followed with a dab of shaving oil, then Floris cream. It's then onto Ice cold water with a Keihls aftershave balm. Finished off by an all day face moisturiser (by Keihls too)
Above might over kill but I go to work feeling very fresh and it's better than my routine with the beard haha
