Evaluated by a Metallurgist. 5 blade system is better than the few blade systems (for manual razors). Not sure about cut throat razors thou. From some pro's and some of design students, they found the Gillette Ladyshave the pink one better but doubt men would use it but in theory I guess it might be possible in terms of its use - to shave. |

A packet of 5 blade isn't it for me last like a year or more :p Now with a course I may shave 3 or 4x a week. When they go blunt you can reshave next to the mirror over the affected areas so they are more/less all shaven :D With new blades I find them easier to get a small nick/cut. |

| 1138795 | 2010-09-23 05:46:00 | I have been using an electric shaver for a few years and have gotten so sick of breakages and blades going blunt long before their supposed to that I'm ready to give them up. Anyone have recommendations on shaving razors? I have a Remington twin-head reciprocating and a Philishave three-head rotary. I've had both for many years. I just keep them clean and I've never had to change the blades. I had to replace the Remington foils when they were accidentally damaged, but that is all. I always empty them after each shave, and occasionally give them a good brush out and spray with cleaner-lubricant. Apart from that they seem to shave like new. Unless you have growth like fencing wire or you don't care for them properly, I can't see why you should have breakages or blunt blades. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1138797 | 2010-09-23 07:04:00 | I get 3 shaves max out of a regular shaver, and on that third shave I suffer some serious wounds. The cheap disposable shavers I get one shave out of, sometimes I had to use two razors, one to get the bulk off and a second to shave what was left behind. It was costing me a fortune...in money and blood. |
