Razor blades - extortion or what?

It could be to do with supply and demand; Our women shave, theirs go au naturel.

Don't look in the cave if you don't want to see the Neanderthals!

No chance with you then Mary :-)

[Mary Fisher]

Not all of us. Why should we?

[Mary Fisher]

Absolutely not. Not that anyone has any chance with me - even should they want to.

Men have beards - unless they're in the RAF.

My wife is half French - she only shaves one armpit :-)

[Andy Hall]

Little boy on train: "Mummy why does that old lady have a beard?"

The message from "Andy Dingley" contains these words:

I use cheap hair-conditioner, having no need of it for my head. Very slippery.

The message from "The Medway Handyman" contains these words:

Is she sufficiently well balanced as to have a chip on both shoulders?

be biased, but excellent stuff, IMHO !!

I believe too that if you have more than 2 blades your not gaining much the first and last blades go blunt long before any of the ones in between. There was a guy on "the big idea" or some such show who came up with a four blade razor that you could swap around to get the best wear out of the blades.

Shoplifters think they are wonderful vfm ...size versus cost .

[Tony Williams]

Yes thanks. I was too idle to go down and check it.

BTW: Just between you and me, the real reason for the post. It was in the sig. A little public gloat about having just succesfully uninstalled Norton and installed AVG7. :)))

Wilkinson Sword used to do blades that had a little spring loaded plastic/cardboard tab. Pressing it on the top part of the blade assembly moved it in between the blades themselves, and pushed all the gunk out, leaving a nice clean blade. I've not been able to find them since.

I find that the heads from cheap supermarket twin blade disposables fit my old Gillette handle and give just as good a shave as Gillette brand blades.

And I forgot here as well

In article , Geronimo W. Christ Esq writes

I use Schick Slim Twin II sensitive disposables, dual blade, brought in from the US, and they have that little cleaning tab. The razors are light green plastic with a darker green rubbery coating on the handle.

Recently, though, I've seen the exact same razors sold in this country under the Wilkinson Sword brand, so they are available here.

Mineral oil is cheaper (larger bottles) and mostly the same thing!
