1177271 2011-02-12 06:02:00 Are these DE razors any good? QW. (15883)
1177272 2011-02-12 07:23:00 I don't know what 'DE' stands for actually. But the safety razors you can get from Mancave and Goodfellas are great. John H (8)
1177273 2011-02-12 07:26:00 I pop the shave head off after each shave on my Mach11 razor and keep it in olive oil, I get 6-7 months out of each head that way. That's a four pack every 2 years

I guess it is the nature of your beard that dictates that Gary. When my son was down on the ice for a year, he asked me to get him some blades to come down at Winfly. I bought the number I thought I would have gone through in his remaining time down there, and sent them off. He was still using them years later...

DE = double edge.

what you granddad used.....
it takes a bit more work, but it gives much better results.

1177276 2011-02-12 08:37:00 Ah, thank you both. Actually I think you may be a generation out... My granddad probably used a cut throat razor - I recall the strop behind the bathroom door at least. John H (8)

I always thought that the strop hung behind my grandfather's bathroom door was for wacking naughty grandchildren's behinds.:confused:

1177278 2011-02-12 09:52:00 weird, Ive never had a razor last 2 full shaves.

And with the budget ones I can get through 2 or 3 in a single shave, with a 4th to tidy up at the end.

1177279 2011-02-12 10:22:00 I was away from home and had forgot my multiblade razor(Gilette I think) and brought some Bic disposables in a pack. With a light beard they lasted about a year, and I noticed my skin was packing up a bit, probably the soap and aged skin.(and maybe the worn blades) So I now use an electric razor, took me along time to get used to it. My routine is to shave as soon as I get into the bathroom in the morning(no hot towels etc.). I use multiple passes to get a decent shave and probably a bit of a massarge from the shaving head. Skin is in much better condition! PPp (9511)
