Default What Razor do you use ?

For all the guys out there what kind of Razor do you use for shaving,is it an Electric one or the good ol manual shave.i used to use the Gillette Turbo but now find the new Gillette Mach 3 Power hand shaver with the battery in is the best by far that i have used although the blades are quite expensive.Come to think of it the Girls could use it too. lol
Cheers John

Mach 3 and the price of blades is nothing short of OFFENSIVE for the amount of time they last

There is a girls version of the M3 Power....the packaging is great, it has a line on it which says "This vibrating head is specially designed to get into tight places"

i have been using that vibrating M3 for 6 mths now and found it shaves the same as the normal but it self cleans when u dip it in the sink water. no more bashing the head of the razor on the bowl. Blades are very expensive for them but they last a few weeks if no girls use them...

I used to use a normal Mach 3, but then I got sick of the NA version so I bought the red turbo Ferrari looking one, goes good:P I also use one of those actual blade thingo's but there a tad bit dangerous so I stick to the turbo, and yes shaving sucks.

That is the perfect way to describe it...
I switched to an electric razor because of the price of the damn mach 3's, if i didnt have to shave everyday it wouldnt be so bad...

bog stock standard mach 3 "cheaper" blades hear, i usually get the turbo blades but couldnt really afford them... also use "king of shaves" shaving gel which is see through so you can see where you have shaved and havent. I wont go back to non-see through shaving gel again. it makes shaving so much faster, giv it a go

Default Shaving

Mach 3 for me too however a set of blades would last me at least a year
Only shave once a fortnight at the least and I let the hair grow a little more each time
Still using the blades that came with the shaver

Mach 3 Turbo for me.

I shave every second day and by stretching it out I can normally get about a month out of each blade. Still bloody expensive though...

Oh bitch bitch bitch...

Try shaving your legs, under your arms and the delicate bikini line with a womans razor. Then look at the price tag of those babies and they might last you twice if you're lucky.

You guys are so lucky only having to shave your face, I'm not even going to start about all the things women do and buy.

And yes I do have PMS and I'm psychic!

electric shavers for me for over 10 years, remington is prefered but the battery died on it so my GF bought a sunbeam as it was half the price and nearly as good, blades last minimum 6-12 months as i only shave twice a week. use the beard trim first(sunbeam is better than remington here) then the shaver bit (i reckon remington is close as a blade, sunbeam is not bad(10o'clock feel))
they dont give a rash and are heeps cheaper over time.from my experience.
will i ever use a blade again? i doubt it very much
