Any Double Edge Shavers?

[edub20]

Joined the ranks of the DE Shavers yesterday. Gonna have to find an old timer to give me a lesson. Cut my finger putting a blade in. Neck feels like I shaved with the weed-eater.

watch the pressure you're using and also blade types. Cheap blades no matter my technique will jack up my neck. I have to use the feather blades. also try to minimize the passes you're making over the area and be sure adequate cream is on the area prior to shaving it over again.

I noticed on the blades that came with the razor the edges are numbered, one and two on one side, three and four on the other. Is that supposed to indicate that after I have used edges one and two I can flip the blade and use it again? That doesn't make sense to me.

Yeah, that's a correct assumption. Helps you remember which sides you've used. I find that after using one side that the blade quality has diminished though so sometimes i don't even flip it i'll just chink it and throw on a new one.

there is a guy on ebay that sells the feather blades cheaper than anywhere.

Cool. Thanks. I'll pick up some Feathers somewhere and give them a try too.

I have been using this shaving cream for over a year $20 worth will last me a year. Granted i don't shave much in the winter. It is the best i have ever used.

I'm in the disposable crowd. I used to use the Mach 3 type models and figured I can come out cheaper going the Bic route. Usually can shave a half dozen times before you notice it's getting dull. I don't have a real wild beard. I can see how a manly man would need more blades.

I read a study about six months ago where they tested single disposable razors vs 2 blades, 3 blades.......all the "gimmick" razors out there. Basically, the study proved that there was no difference in the closeness of the shave........in other words, anything more than a single disposable blade was all "marketing" and a way for the razor companies to make $$$$
