After our flight home was cancelled in Florida, OH bought some cheap disposables from CVS in Florida. He has been using the same one for about 2 months! He was a Mach3 or Gillette Fusion user, swears these are far superior, and we're about $3 for 3. He plans to get some more.

I've never got on with electric razor's and have used various Gillette cartridge razors over the years. Last year I spent £20 on a Feather DE razor and it's great; not a harsh cut and with Feather blades I get a really cheap smooth shave. I use Proraso shaving soap and sensitive skin aftershave because I am prone to rash but no problems.

I used to use Mach 3 razors as IMO they were the best disposables on the market but got fed up with the ridiculous price.

I`ve been using a Merkur 23C Safety Razor for over 4 years now and have experimented with loads of different blades. The shave I get is superb.

For every day use I use Derby`s but use Feather blades for a night out as they are just so sharp.

I got a sampler back a few months back from a chap from Russia which cost less than £6 for 40 blades. 8 different packs. They`ll last me ages.

I`d never go back to disposables now.

My OH swears by the razor and replacement blades pack he buys from Lidl. Think they are about £3 ish. He has used named makes but has found these suit him the best.

Wish I could go camping more and not have to work for a living!!!

Husband asked for a proper shaving set for Christmas years ago - so I bought a badger brush little realising this was hardly a wildlife friendly action, til my mates had great delight in telling me my mistake!!! I hadn't thought about it, how could you get the hair off a live badger...

Hmmm - husband has had a beard for years now - it's soooo cheap on razors in this house as son has one too.....

I recently changed from shaving foam and "men's" disposable razor.

I now use brush and shaving soap tesco £3:50 & £1:50 I think respectively, and find I get a closer shave using ladies disposable razors. Best to look out for is using a nail,brush to clean between the blades or they clog and won't shave.

A nice refreshing shave followed by after shave.

Works for me

(and for SWMBO)

Not compared to DE shaving

Once the initial outlay of a decent DE razor and shaving brush etc is out of the way its an incredibly cheap way of shaving.

I stumbled over here by a different website and thought I might check things out. Is there anyone here who can recommend the best electric shaver? Many thanks!

I have been using the cheapo packs of throw away Bic 3 (Sensitive)Orange razors from Asda...Good price at about £2.50 ish for ten.

Wife is a fan of the shopping channel QVC and saw a demo of the wet shave razor from 'King of Shaves'

No need for soaping up, just wet your face wet the razor and Hey Presto shave your face.

I saw the razor in Boots for £9 so brought one.

IT'S THE DOGS!! I normally only shave twice a week as I get very bad rash but first time with this razor and no probs at all, it cut through the 'forest' and NO RASH or redness.

I have given wifey instructions to look out for the offer packs of replacement blades (£8 ish)

Uses a Hyperglide system developed from surgery

They do have a website and you can order stuff on line.

Worth a punt IMHO
