Emmie92 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 i knew a bloke who was board with shaving so had his beard waxed:loopy: yes it was painful and his face was really brused and swollen for ages. Waxing is okay for any other part of your body, but beard! Crikey, bet that was so painful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banjodeano Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 It's because you haven't kept them in a pyramid. Only those who were around in the 70s will understand this though. Did Uri Geller make a TV apearance doing all that pyramid mumbo jumbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medusa Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 i knew a bloke who was board with shaving so had his beard waxed:loopy: yes it was painful and his face was really brused and swollen for ages. I wouldn't recommend facial waxing for a bloke, but I know a number of men who suffer such bad razor rash or ingrown hairs that they use depilatory cream rather than shave at all.

Shroob Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 One of the best 'life hacks' I learnt from the internet was to shave your jeans. Before and after you shave get a pair of jeans and run your razor 10-20 times down your jeans in one direction then in the opposite direction. Also make sure that your razor is dry after shaving. I've been using one pack of blades for ages now. Saves a ton of money and gives you a great shave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 They certainly will not go bust with the price they charge. What a rip-off!..£10 for 4 blades. Anyone know how much they actually cost to produce? No idea. Probably not very much. How much does a kitchen knife cost to make and what's the mark-up? You could always buy a re-sharpenable razor (A cut-throat or a Rolls) but you might end up spending a fair bit on sticky plasters. How often do you buy razorblades? Do you buy razorblades as often as you buy a loaf of bread? I wonder how long razorblades sit around in warehouses and on shelves in shops before they sell? The owner of the goods while they are sitting around in a warehouse or in a shop isn't making any money by keeping them on the shelf. If space wasn't a problem, then given that the effort in ordering one item is probably the same as the effort in ordering another, then if you could sell 500 loaves of bread at 50% mark-up per day or one pack of razorblades at 200% mark-up every 5 days, would you even bother to stock razorblades? There are a number of shops which only sell bread. I haven't found one which only sells razorblades. If I was a bloke I'd have laser treatment so I wouldn't ever have to shave again I think that you'd find that after you had had the required amount of laser treatment to destroy the follicles permanently, you might want a beard to hide the scars.

Ghostrider Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I tried the tesco triple blade disposable ones, and they are rubbish, they drag like hell. However the gilette fusion blade im using is a lot better than them - and I have had this one particular blade since october....now thats value for money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalman Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 The funny thing is, if you buy a packet of five blades, I find that four of them will last quite well, and then there's always one which seems to go completely blunt after about one shave - how can they be so different? Where's the quality control? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
