save your money, you'd be better off shaving with a Butterknife!

I agree totally agent smith! Just tried them and they are crap!
Guess its back to Mach3 for now...:mad:
ps...Sorry, to anyone who went out and bought them, I really should have tried them first...but I can reccomend the Durex in Euro General as I have tested quite a few of them!!!!!!!

I got a load of them free during fresher's week up in ucd, they do the job reasonably. I wouldn't go as far as to say they are ****e.

They're ****e alright. Ripped my face to bits and I didn't even get a close shave.

Out of all the razors I've tried, I've found that those Gilette Sensor3 disposables are the best. They last ages and give a painless close shave every time. Avoid their other disposable razors like the plague though, I tried their Blue II razors before when I was stuck and I had to use at least two razors per shave.

Never had that problem meself. Maybe the €2 one's were a bad batch they dumped on a bargain stockist to get rid of.

I use the quattro - love it, gave up my mach3 for it.. closer shave and the blades last 10times longer! - you guys must have got bad ones!

I have used the Quattro and found it to be worse then a disposable nearly. Cut myself for the first time in years with one. Won't be using it again, and I think the fact that half the time I see blades for it they're reduced, says a lot about general opinion. Won't be expecting to see Mach 3's for 2 euro anytime soon.

If you want the best shave and cheap, you should use an old style Double Edge Saftey Razor like this:


And $4.79 for 10 good blades : http://www.classicshaving.com/catalog/item/522941/196010.htm

I use this now and I'd never go back to multi blade razors, and no more shaving rash either

But you run the risk of sliting your throat every morning

It's not a cut-throat!! There's no more risk really with a double edge than a standard multiblade and it will give a closer shave. Obviously you have to be careful, but that's par for the course with rubbing an ultra sharp blade against your skin

Those Quattros are half-price in Pennys too.

About €14 for the razor and 4 blades. I would have bought them yesterday only the stupid till was broken and I dumped them and left. Result!

No more so than with a Mach 3 or similar razor

Tempted by that deadlock. Any other blade I've tried has given me this absolutely awful rash after a shave.

Then you shouldn't have a problem with the double edge safety razor...

Might get one so. Not sure if I would trust myself in the morning. not exactly a morning person!

deadl0ck

If you're serious about getting one you should also get a shaving brush.

There's a lot of info on the web about using them, even you tube vids:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F5u28JfnCM

It's worth switching to them, in my opinion, but you do need to learn how to use them correctly

billstraighten

Well i too have gotten free ones, and i thought they were great

but mach 3 has been really reliable for me, bought a bulk order and lasted over a year

now have the "fun" of shopping around and looking for a decent offer bulk wise

Aedh Baclamh

Hmm, never tried shaving against the grain but then again I'm using a Mach3 so I ain't trying it with that! Nice video though.

Sensor Excel is the best in shop razor imo
