    The cheap yellow ones with one blade?... How.. Oh how did my older brothers and ould lad.. And indeed everyone shave with these when there was no mach 3..

    I shaved in desperation with this cheap 1 bladed piece of crap I bought from lidl... My God I nearly tore my face off... 50 facial hairs for 1 mm of skin seemed to be the way it went.

    To all you older blokes (Or girls with ronnys)... I salute you.

    Anyone else ever use one of these yolks?

    The bic disposable ones? It's all I use. but it has to be the sensitive ones, theyre orange, the white ones are really painful.

    I use them and I find the one bladed ones to be a better shave tbh.

    Are you sure you didnt pick up a potato peeler instead of an actual razor?

    They didn't use cheap disposable muck, they used real razors. Although the Mach 3 is only slightly better cheap muck sold at stupidly high prices.

    I get Wilkinson sword disposable razors they're only 99c for 5.

    It's all about precision child, precision. Back in the olden days, we had to use cut throat razors where lack of accuracy mean certain death.

    This is better off in Facial Hair forum I think, no offence meant OP.
    Even thought you probably want to get rid of facial hair...
    Shaving tips galore anyway.

    I moved from Mach 3 to a Wilkinson Sword Double edge classic razor a few weeks ago and wont be going back. Tesco wanted to charge me the equivzlent of 20 euro for a pack of 5!

    I use a new razor every day, the razor and 5 blades cost me 3 euro, and I can buy razor blades in bulk online. About a hundred blades for 20 euro.Bye bye macch 3.

    I've got 3 loverly shaves out of one blade, going on for a fourth, but I don't shave all my face so mine will last longer.

    You should try a decent D.E. razor rather than the plastic Wilkinson Sword Classic. I started DE shaving with one of these too, but when I upgraded to a Merkur 34C HD then it became soooo much better!

    I used a bic razor out of desperation yesterday, borrowing one from my brother as I was somewhat unwilling to walk to town for a new set of Fusions. It was grand until I got as far as the neck, where parts of the hair line diverge and spiral. I'm pretty sure I came close to having a blood transfusion. Not worth the pain, tissue paper or the day long wearing of a scarf to hide the event.
