    Previously i would have avoided Bic razors like the plague

    But i must say their flex 3 are excellent, probably the best disposable out there at the moment, lovely feel & weight to them as well

    Lidl razors are rubbish. Their blades go in the way to the extent you have to push the razor tighter up your facial stubble.

    Few months ago I went over to DE Safety razors. (DE, double edge). Razors that my old man used to use, that type.

    It’s one of these things that “I should’ve done 20 years ago” situations. Muhle R89 is the razor and 10 pack of blades. Good brush, proper shaving cream and we’re off. Very good shave, razor doesn’t clog up, takes a bit of practice but totally happy and will not go back to expensive cartridge razors.

    I also head shave and after a few nicks first off am now confident. Actually enjoy shaving now…..bit of a pleasure, like making tea with tea leaves, strainer etc etc. 😀😀

    They can take a bit to get the hang of but once you do they are great.


    Time to buy a load of different blades and see which you prefer.

    Been a DE user for over 15 years and have started shaving my head in the last few years (due to age!!). But despite being very comfortable using all sorts of DE razors and blades on my face, I don't have the courage to use it on my head. I've been using a Mach3 for the head. Any tips or preferred blades for head shaving?

    Yeah…..shaving my head with DE for about 6 months or so now. Have an Alum block and used it a fair bit starting off, a lot of nicks. Was shaving way too close, 2 part shave, with and against grain.

    Now I just go over with less pressure……never an issue really. It takes time and practice. I have a fair few bumps to navigate on my head. 😀

    I see Shaving.ie have Sterling soaps now. Haven't used them before but seems they are highly regarded.
