Razors (For shaving, not for being Emo)
I hadn't seen a thread on this since.....ever actually. Not saying it doesn't exist of course.
What's everyone use/prefer? What's people's opinions of cost vs. value? How often do you shave? How long does a razor last for you?
For men, I mean face or head, not arms/legs/body etc.
Ladies, I mostly mean legs... I don't much want to hear about you shaving your faces.
Further, on a scale of 1-10 how bad is the hair you destroy razors with?
1 being a 14 year old boy and 10 being a Viking warrior or true woods Lumberjack.
Lastly, why can't they make a Tungsten-Carbide razor? I mean, I'd spend $30 on a razor I could use for a couple months....
Mine last about 4 shaves of the face before it's just a total pain to use anymore. Mach 3's die when forced to cut the sandpaper that is my face after 24 hours. And sadly, I can't really skip a day of shaving cause the hair grows so f'n fast.
Electric razors are useless.

Gillette Fusion. I switched to cheap razors once and they were NO match either in shaving ability or durability. I've tried them all, and for me, Fusion FTW. On a scale of 1-10 I'd say I'm about a 7.5-8.

The powered fusion FTW. But i figured since i dont need to be skin close shave i have trimmers and use that. its razor bump free. so i dont use the fusion too often. Its like $24 for a 6 or 12 pack. kinda pricey but they dont irritate your skin.
i would only advice going straight from disposable 1 blade to 5 bladed razors. You will be used to multiple swipes on the disposable and when you get the fusion you multiply each swipe by 4 0r 5 and that will irritate your skin.

No longer use a razor.
I have a Braun 360 that I have been using for the last 2yrs and it is as good as a regular razor. If you buy electric, expect to pay around $200 for one that actually works. Also have not needed to replace the blade yet.

I use the Mach 3, I have tough skin so I can honestly shave without shaving cream and it won't irritate.

you can get electric ones that shave well, but they never really get a clean shave that a blade will..
I use mach III for normal shaving, i'd say im a 7-8 on a 10 scale.. grows back within a few days.... i also shave against the grain for a cleaner shave...

I've always sworn by Venus razors. The only downside is that the blades are expensive and I go through them fast because I'm a hairy she-beast.

Gillete Fusion Power FTW. I usually make a point of buying the cartridges when I do business overseas (usually Panama), since they're much cheaper there. A 32 cartridge pack (which lasts me about 3 months) costs about $40 at Costco. I get one for $28 in Arrocho Drugs anywhere in Panama.

gilette fusion powered here too. I like the fact that they have a strip that shows you when its time to replace it. I dont have to shave too often, I do it every other day, and in the 1 day that I skip, I still look presentable for work. The replacement packs are on the pricey side but they last long

Gillette fusion, but I am a man, I honestly change the blade 1 every 2 months, maybe more.
Use it nearly daily. I have a goatee, but I shavne my upper lip. Only use shaving cream half the time, I have a magic can of shaving cream that God I honestly have no clue how old it is, I am talking over a year, and I use it several times a week.
