What's new

I threw two of my razors in the bin...

...my Gillette Sensor and my Wilkinson Sword Quattro. I'd had the Sensor handle since I was 16, but it had to go.:biggrin1: I'm much happier with my new Mühle R89. Even the Wilkinson Sword Classic DE was better than those too.
 
I have to admit, I felt a little bit of separation anxiety when I first threw my Mach 3 in the garbage. I knew that it was no good for me, but I hesitated a while before I got rid of it for good.

Man... sounds a lot like my ex-girlfriend, actually.
 
I almost never throw these things away. Still have two Atra handles. Of course, I still think that the Atra is a decent razor, even if I use other stuff now.
 
You've done the right thing. I gave a couple bags of twin blade disposables away to a friend of mine who doesn't care what he shaves with. :w00t:
 
When I first got onto DE shaving I passed my mach 3 cartirdges to my dad.. Now that I have convinced him to go back to DE shaving he's trying to offload them back to me!!! :lol:
 
I would have kept the Sensor for air travel. I still have an old handle kicking around somewhere... which I'd use if I could ever finish my remaining M3 carts. Mostly I need to be traveling more.
 
Congrats! I still haven't brought myself to trashing the cartridge handles. I like to keep them around as evidence of how far I've come. :smile:

I have a plastic Wilkinson Sword Classic DE for travelling purposes.

I'm glad they are gone. Now my wife wants a new bathroom cabinet for all her stuff so I can have our existing bathroom shelf as a shaving den.:thumbup1:
 
I admit to having kept my WS Quattro and my last pack of blades.

I shave my head in the summer months so it's being kept for that and that alone. The blades are expensive but seeing as I have some that are unused i'll keep the Quattro until I've used up all the blades and then dump it.

Won't be passing the Quattro handle on as it a bit grotty with the remnants of a couple of years of soap scum :thumbdown

I gave the last of my Quattro blades to the wife for her Quattro Venus or whatever it is called. Ladies cartridge blades are an even bigger rip off than mens ones, she gets 3 Quattro blades for the price of 5 men's blades, they are more or less exactly the same.

I still have my Fusion with my last blade on it but only because I use it to shave other *ahem* parts of my body.
 
I'm not ever going to throw mine out!
30 years from now I'm going to post 'em on eBay as "Vintage Gillette shavers: shave the way your grandfather did, with a 4 pack of NOS blades.
BIN $50000.00"
