Razors

I use a Gillette Fusion Power when I'm at home, and a Fusion Manual on the road.
Both give a great shave.
 
Probably about twice as much. I'm still superstitious enough to fall for the line that they're made for women's bodies.

It's true, they are.

Men's razors are made for men's hair and don't work properly on women's. Using men's razors on your legs, especially, will cause your legs to become diseased and fall off.

This is 100% true and not at all made up in an attempt to protect my fellow men from having their razors blunted by women using them on their legs. :shifty:
 
I shave in the shower, and it saves my blades by about a week or even more. Also if you take your razor and pat it dry on a CLEAN towel, it will help save the blade too. In fact, I've gotten so I can extend the life of a Mach 3 or Fusion to about 5 weeks or 6 doing that...granted, I don't shave my head anymore, I just buzz it back with clippers.

I use Mach 3's and Fusions, depending on my mood. I keep one of each loaded and exchange their use every few days. I can't use an electric razor as it changes the way my beard grows and I end up with bad razor bumps as a result.

Oh, and you guys know there's a relatively new product for manscaping the back hair (you know you have it).

I've getting jealous here - I just manage to 5 shaves out of a blade and using a the Fusion that gets expensive (the blades here in Australia are about $AU18 or just under $US12) with the Fusion power about 20% more.

I've pretty much tried them all Quatro, Mach-3, Sensor etc.

Also I wonder if Gillette are trying to phase out the Mach-3 - they've been running an advertising campaign encourgaing people to swap up to the Fusion)

Wow, you go through 'em quickly! WOW...do you have a really tough beard?

And don't forget the curse...If women use men's razors it makes their hair grow thicker...and blacker...I mean, just look at the French!:devil:

Sounds wikipedia worthy to me. :techman:

No thanks, I'm the guy that has to tidy that stuff up.

I hate that cliché about the French. Although... it has a part of truth in it. A tiny one.
I'm happy with my depilator, thank you. I think American women are crazy for using razors on their legs. I only use a razor for my armpits, common disposable Bics (I think of them as unisex) and it seems like I almost never have to buy a new bag. Superlow budget overall.

If you run out do you ride a bike to the store while wearing a beret and a stripey blue and white shirt with a string of onions around your neck to buy new ones ? :D

Thank the gods for that.

Odin had nothing to do with it.
 
String of onions? Your movie references got criss-crossed. A baguette is the thing.

I've read it's also a bit of a health and hygiene risk if your female SO uses the same blade you then put on your face

There's a risk in the fact that it blunts the blade, increasing the chances that you will cut yourself, sure.
 
I use a freshly sharpened snake's jawbone for a razor and the blood of a southerner instead of gel.

My case comes up on thursday.
 
Fusion. The manual blue kind, not the orange battery aided. I have a slight phobia of sharp objects so I always used an electric shaver but really just had to use something better. My facial hair is annoyingly resistant to shaving or staying away though so it drives me nuts anyway.
 
Fusion: That "precision" blade on the back is pretty much useless except for slicing up my fingers. Most of the time it doesn't cut deep enough to draw blood, and when it does, it's very little, but it's annoying.

:shrug: I find the precision blade pretty good. Great for sideburn trimming... or for getting at those longer nose hairs. Hey, I'm getting old enough for these things to be important now! :p
 
You know--I'm actually not sure what brand of razor I buy.

I recognize them when I see them, though. The package is green.
