    And women what shave.

    If you're like me and find that after three shaves the disposable blade starts to rip your face off (or legs) and find the cost of these disposable shavers too much to bear.

    I bring you your salvation

    I tried it this morning and it works, it really works :D

    So I would like to say a big FÛCK YOU Gillette. I ain't spending a fortune on your razors no more :pac:

    What?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 676 ✭✭✭turnikett1


    I use an electric razor. It's clogged up with hair, though, and does a half arsed job but it's good enough for me. Gives me a nice sexy 5 o clock shadow

    I do this, be careful after a while though the blade sometimes thins unevenly and takes lumps out of you.

    Shoot a laser in your face, it works, I heard.

    I bought a Razor Pit after I saw people here discussing them. It's great. Admittidly I'm pretty much paying for the denim solution you posted, but I like it.

    Absolutely. The idea that a beard makes you more manly is a preposterous idea. You just don't shave for two weeks and it's there. And most of the beards you'd see around Dublin these days are hideous. Overweight men with neckbeards and flannel shirts. Chances of scoring with a real woman < 0.1%


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,812 ✭✭✭✭sbsquarepants


    I have an even better trick, I simply tell the missus I'm out of blades, mysterious wheels are set in motion and the next day, as if by magic, blades appear from somewhere which I then proceed to ignore for a week or so until I start to look like a suicide bomber and all sexual contact is refused.
    It's at this point, I open the new blades and the whole cycle starts over.
    No jeans need ever be harmed.
    PS: I'm still boycotting gillete (or more accurately forcing my missus to boycott them!) over the whole thiery henry fiasco, cheating french cúnt that he is.

    You know they're really men, right?

    Our ancient ancestors were indeed hairy ape yokes for a long time [300,000BC], but after they lost most of their body hair they were still humping each other in their early teens just after puberty.
    Women have been shaving since at least 30,000BC and we have evidence that women from 4000 BC were removing hair with cream.

    How far back are we going here? Because millions of years ago my ancestors loved sexy amoebic blobs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,034 ✭✭✭mad muffin


    I couldn't grow a beard to save my life. I can't get past the itching and if I could I have too many bald spots.

    It's not the worst thing that could happen. The clean-shaven look is one that tends to work for most people, and is seen as more professional in work environments. Unless your job is in a computer game shop, where the neckbeard, black t-shirt, baggy ill-fitting jeans is considered de rigueur.

    I used to use them for months! Then I got an epilator and now I pull every body hair out from the neck down, one at a time, very slowly.

    Invest in a double-edge Razor. It is far cheaper in the long run as the blades are much cheaper. It's €20-€40 for 100 blades which would last you the best part of a year if not longer. Shave quality is about the same or slightly better than shaving with a cartridge razor.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,467 ✭✭✭Wazdakka

    Disposable shavers only cost about €3-5 for 5 of them .
    I throw them out after each shave. Couldnt use them more than once.

    Its cheap enough imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,195 ✭✭✭✭jimgoose


    Gods-damn you, King C. Gillette! Theirs is the only advertising to which I am not immune. I use a Fusion razor, and it is excellent. In a moment's brief rebellion against the bowel-evacuating price of the cartridges I returned to a Mach-3 last year and was stunned at how crap it was compared to the five-blade job. I do, however, keep an old toothbrush handy for cleaning between the blades after each shave. That knocks a bit more life out of 'em. :cool:

    Aren't they quit tricky to use compared to the safety razors? More chance of cutting yourself?

    Personally speaking, i found they are pretty much the same to use as cartridge razors. I've heard that it can take people with more sensitive skin a little while longer for their skin to acclimatize itself to using them, but once you have used them for a little while, there is no difference in terms of shaving difficulty.

    Correct me if i am wrong but i believe safety razors and double edge razors are the same thing unless you mean cartridge razors?

    In terms of cutting yourself, the first few times you use it and the odd time thereafter you might nick yourself but it is nothing a bit of cold water and / or aftershave can't sort out :D. Maybe some Alum salt if you went all freddy kruger on your face.

    I highly recommend them if you are prone to ingrown hairs from shaving. That was the main reason i switched to them and have not had one since.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,303 ✭✭✭Temptamperu


    Yeah i have been on this game for a while, I cant remember the last time i bought razors.

    Why do you feel the urge to sneer at something/someone with every second post you make? It's a rather distasteful superiority complex that you seem to harvest, at least through an online persona. A very unprofessional trait too, I would wager.
