Hey Ken, how did you get on with your alum block? Does it make a noticeable difference?

Why won't this leave the "view unread posts" thead?

Have read it several times in different ways but it still pops up as "unread"??

No real problem just my curious nature!!

Shaving doesnt cost a kings ransom. It is pretty cheap. Especially compared with what women have to spend on makeup and such.
'a year's worth[/url:3uinizan] of ProGlide cartridges would cost around $54'


Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Blades[/url:3uinizan]

I had Mach3 for years, then went 5 blade for a while, I think the razor even vibrated. Then one day, after the economic downturn started, I actually took notice of how much the blades were. I think it was about €22 for 3 or 4 blades!

These days, I have a Lidl two blade razor, that cost about a fiver and comes with about 20 spare blades. My shaving foam is about 80c for a huge thing of it. I shave every day, in the shower. Perfect, close, smooth shave.

I do spend money on aftershave though - a nice one like Issey Miyake for about €60 that lasts the guts of a year.

I tried the Aldi razors and they were like mini ploughs, they'd take chunks out of me and I'd not even get one shave out of them. DE is the way to go in my opinion. The blades are dirt cheap and the shave is great.
