Kill themselves with their razors, it wasn't worth living in them days.

Tweezers ftw

Another vote for tweezers;the pain of the plucking should be a pleasant diversion from the pain of getting ridden up the butt by this joke of a government.

You've got to be kidding right. The blades last me months and I've a thick beard I shave everyday. If you shower before you shave the beard will soften and will be easier to shave because there will be less friction. I find the blade may seem expensive but considering the amount of shaves you get out of them they are worth it. Don't let the advertising gimmicks get you to upgrade buy one and stick to it. If you really want to extend the life store the blade away from the moist air in the bathroom and make sure you wash it well after every use and never use a rusty blade. Also only shave with the grain of you beard.

Keep on growing beards and shaving 'em off until you've enough to make a jumper for each member of your family. Come in handy after you've got no furniture or doors left to put on the fire.

Spray on a bit of butane and light. The hair will disappear.

Original razor blades were designed indefinitally without getting blunt but manufacturers have smartly designed them to last only a few shaves by tempering the metal prior to sharpening. You can get one up on them by purchasing this blade sharpener.

How much cheaper are Gillette Mach3 Turbo compared to Gillette Fusion Blades ?

Pompey Magnus · 13-10-2008 11:17PM

When I saw the thread title I at first assumed it would be about shaving between the arse cheeks, that is how much After Hours has warped my mind.

Anyways I was doing my bit to avoid wasting razors on Saturday by clearing the hair out of a Mach 3 I was using, my finger slipped though and gave a pretty nasty cut which was still bleeding occassionally today. So I think the beard is the way to go.

Creamy Goodness · 13-10-2008 11:19PM

get yourself a safety razor, blades for that cost like 5 euro for 10 blades, and the blades last at least twice as long as gillette blades.

that or be cool and grow a beard.

SoWatchaWant · 13-10-2008 11:20PM

Electric Shavers? If you already have them, obviously not to buy them new...

Seriously, Gillette Sensor Excel is where it's at if you need a razor. Don't get distracted by 50 million blades, flashing lights and buzzing things.

Stercus Accidit · 13-10-2008 11:21PM

Heat a knife in your open fire until it is red hot.

Touch the flat of the knife to the beard to singe it away.

Then touch the blade to your face, scalding you in the most agonising moment of your life, thus preventing further beard growth.

Not buying a plasma TV just isnt worth it, mutilate your face and thus stick it to the man.

I started using the Fusion blades but to be honest the mach turbo blades were just as good, could not tell the difference.

I read somewhere that storing your razor in a bit of vodka prolongs the life.

Well it was their own fault for investing all their gold in the end of the rainbow, even though the end of the rainbow was a very unstable market. After the rainbow collapsed and the clouds arrived, many leprechauns were left stuck with mortgages for ringforts which they couldn't afford.
Oh, desparate times altogether.

As regards shaving, just buy those cheap Bic razors. I use them and they're grand, despite the odd cut or twenty.
