Multi-blade razors
Discussion
I had a shave with the Astra SP and my 34c and it was spot on - two tiny nicks on my top lip but that was because I didn't relather after going over it once.
The alum block soon sorted those out though - but it stung like hell!!
Stubble is coming back through now so I think I'll have a second try tomorrow, I'm glad that the original thoughts of face peeling terror were completely unfounded at least!!

Haven't cut myself in a long time of De shaving. The proraso shave cream helps the Edwin jagged glide along with no friction. Best shaving cream. Also the 3 quid Wilkinson sword brush is the business. The blades make little difference. I use mostly 7 o clocks or astras.
Cost is minimal and irritation is low too as a bonus. I never go back to mach 3s my previous go to blade.

I forgot to pack my Gillette Fusion Power when I came back to uni, so I've had to go and buy a cheapo disposable 3 blade jobby from the local bargain store.
It's just given me a more comfortable shave than the Fusion! Same method, same shaving foam... but where the fusion tangles, jumps and drags on long throat stubble, this 60p jobby just cleanly and comfortably scythed through it!
What sorcery is this?

I noticed you can buy pre-shave oil. Is this a replacement t for sharing foam, or is it something you can put on and apply to soften the skin and hair etc prior to using shaving foam?
For example....

Or is this something that is used instead of shaving foam?
Many thanks chaps

Seriously, the black plastic Wilkonson one in Boots is worth a look - cheap as chips and nothing to loose! Well, that is until you get addicted...

Discussion about blades / razors / brushes / soaps / creams etc.
And a few conversions along the way!
Ok, so I am persuaded that I should try a safety razor, what do I need to buy and from where? And a few conversions along the way!
A razor, some blades, a brush and some soap presumably. Any suggestions which products to save me trawling the previous 300 pages?
Happy to buy decent stuff.

An EJ89 and Personnas is almost a no-brainer for razor & blades I'd say. Then take your pick of the rest A razor, some blades, a brush and some soap presumably. Any suggestions which products to save me trawling the previous 300 pages?

If you are set on it and want to get a decent razor then the Edwin Jagger DE89 is an excellent option:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Edwin-Jagger-DE89-Chrome-P...
Lots of sample packs of blades available too:

If you don't want to try that many, then you can't really go wrong with Personna blades.
