Gillette wet razors and cartridges

[Speedy]

I have 4razors. I have 2gillete fusions (1vibrating 1that doesnt). And 2wilkinson sword quattro. I hate having to buy new blades costs 20quid for 8 and they dont last as long as they say they will. Have to say though the vibrating fusion is by far the best shave i have ever had.

my fella paid £14 for 2 packets at asda dont know whether they are still on offer though, how old are you speedy, yound lads tend to only have bum fluff, so they really dont need good ones....lol

re. Plumbing in the UK , maybe its changed now but most places I have visited still have separate taps for hot and cold water supply , not many seem to use 'mixer' taps where you can control the water temperature , think it was something to do with the plumbing code/regulations , that and the daft pull cord for bathroom lights .....
ok , don't all jump down my throat at once , its been a while since I visited and know times have probably changed

Im 20. Do get quite a lot of growth to be honest. Have to shave atleast every other day other wise i look like the white bin-laden.

It was much easier in the owd days when we had to use 'proper' razor blades, but good luck finding them these days, (besides I usually shave in the shower and no way am i going to be fiddling with blades there) . I'm not even going to get going about how much they cost .

ok rant over

My housemate still uses 'proper' razor-blades. He's quite particular about his preening though. He's a bit like a woman actually, even does alot of housework and cooking from scratch! Shame the other two lads aren't like that lol.

I shave every morning, have at the minute the fusion and the quattro, both are good, but both only give a real good shave if using shaving gel, not as close if used in the shower with shower gel.
