What is the most effective and cheapest way for men to shave?

Question

I like everyone else, got suckered into those promotional offers by Gillette and bought their razors. Then I saw the price of the replacement blades and fell over. I have moved to the generic double edge razor blade which costs 2 quid for 10 blades, however it is nowhere near as close as the Fusion. Any ideas?

Answer 1

grow a beard my friend

Answer 2

Cheap razors are cheap and don't cut well. But the high end ones are really expensive as you mentioned. Go with the ones that median priced, disposable, they will work just fine.  May need to try 2 or 3 brands until you find one you like.

Answer 3

just use the disposable razors

Answer 4

No, the Gillette Turbo thing is good, I use the mens razors for my legs, far more effective. I stole my BF's. He was not amused!!

Answer 5

the best shave you will ever get is the old cut throat razors but if you want to use a product like Gillette use the mac 3 its cheaper the Fusion is just   silly money and at those prices you could go to a barber and have a proper  shave with a cut throat

Answer 10

I personally use a fusion, but use an electric razor for a quick run first. It depends on how sensitive your skin is. If I don"t use a fusion my face bleeds a LOT! if I use a fusion it bleeds a bit.

Gillette has disposable razors called "good news" that are pretty close and somewhat comfortable too.

Answer 11

Try using hair conditioner massaged into your face before you shave. My other half discovered it by accident when he ran out of foam on holiday. He now uses gillette disposables and conditioner and its the closest and most comfortable shave he has ever had and no more sore neck either.
