King of Shaves

[Emsman]

Just bought one of the new king of shaves razors.

I cut my face worse than if I had offended the Kray Twins.

It went blunt after half a face of shaving, and you appear to need a PHD in engineering just to replace the blades.

Has anyone else got an (albeit trivial) opinion, or can suggest an alternative as Gillette ones are always out of stock where i buy from.

[Hoppy2008]

I know you say the Gillette are always out of stock, but I use the Fusion blades and I love them.
Could you not stock up on them so you dont run out?

King Of Shaves shaving gel is good.

When it comes to razors....Fusion Power - end of!
I just buy Gillette products my local Tesco. So all the major supermarkets, Superdrug and Boots will sell Gillette

I think the KoS one is the best i've used! All the others give me a rash under my chin, this doesnt at all.

The blades lasted a fair amount of time too.

I used a king of shaves razor for the first time this morning. All fine - in fact its a good shave, no cuts.

Maybe your face is a funny shape?

Don't Costco do big packs of Gilette blades?

[marlinmunro]

Just sent a pack back to them, the worst blade I have used in a long time. Back to Mach 3 for me.

I had the same problem with KoS blades. I looked like Freddie Kruger had been stroking my face
Once was enough to dispatch it to the bin. Back to Mach 3 for me

Get yourself one of these:

Best shave I've ever had, new blades are 20p each.

I tried the Wilkinson Sword one a while ago - the 'caged' one, because it's SO sharp - damn right it is, nearly cut me head off!

Mach 3 all the way, no wonder Gilette have a monopoly, they are by far the best and their shaving gel lasts for ages compared to others.

I really want one of these. With a really nice silver tip badger brush and soap dish. But for some reason the so called safety razor scares me!

And I thought it was just me.

First time I used it, I cut myself like a ribbon - I initially thought it was me being ham fisted as I don't use a mirror.I couldn't put a shirt on for 20 minutes until my face had stopped dripping.
So the following day I tried again - exactly the same result.

Also, I noticed that because of the shape of the part that holds the blade, you can't get the blade under your nose and end up with a little adolf style 'tash.

Funkiest piece of shyte I've seen in a long time.

It took about 3 shaves to get used to mine (moving from a mach 3). Now I shave much closer than I ever did before, never cut myself and the feeling of badger hair laying on the lather in the morning is fantastic

Gillette Fusion + King of Shaves gel. Works for me.

[RemaL]

i've been using the KOS blade for a few weeks. found it better that the mach 3 I was using before. close shave, easy to use and not thatexpensive

Yup been using a safety razor for all of my shaving life now and I won't go back. Blades from that pikey supermarket beginning with W 37p for five.

I have a nice sterling silver one on the xmas list

Feck. If i used it for a few weeks I'd need a transfusion.

Fusion Razor Blades are such a rip off. Yes, they give a great shave, but for the price they really do have you by the short and curlies!

So where's the best place to get cheap fusion blades ?
