Hi all, tried my first DE shave a few weeks ago. Used a very cheap Chinese razor from Amazon which was about £3 delivered, a Palmolive shave stick, a Wilkinson Sword brush and a pack of Tesco razor blades. Despite only spending around £10 to get started, I really enjoyed the experience much more than using a modern razor. It felt like 'me' time, which isn't something I get a lot of! I spent 9 years in the RAF, so I've had plenty of experience with the Mach 3 Face Rake, and I only wish I'd twigged on to DE shaving earlier.
I do not think I will be able to go back to cartridge shaving, and have already taken steps to improve on my somewhat humble (and incredibly cheap) beginnings - a little noodling through ebay earlier and I managed to net this for £5:
I think, after a bit of browsing on here, that this is a Gillette ball end tech, but the photo isn't the best. Really looking forward to receiving it, does anyone have any good recommendations for blades that suit it? I don't have sensitive skin or a particularly coarse beard.
Thanks for reading!
