Would have shaved every day for work, never missed, but since covid and using masks at the time i basically stopped and shaved on a Friday and Sunday and that was that... Skin wasn't bad anyways but the less shaving makes it for me anyways, so much better, but I'd be using Nivea for many years also so probably both help..

I would never buy anything other than the best Gillette, there is a new one for sensitive skin and that's the best I've used. buy in baulk and you'll get them far cheaper
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

It's the lump hammer you're trying to make look bigger not the baws. My next door nighbour is a beautician and I'd love to ask her to give me the once over (the nether regions that is) for a professional shave but haven't the baws to ask...

The best Gillette are decent enough alright but I've found the best to be the bic 3 disposable ones. They're totally different to the really cheap and lethal single blade bic. Used to get them in boots but don't see them many places now so I buy them online. Sensitive or comfort, either ones are good and they're not expensive. I would tend to shave every day Monday to Friday and then leave it at the weekend.

Used to be an everyday man and double and treble blades were the only answer. Now I'm an every week man and a single blade is the only answer - prevents / reduces any clogging that the multiblades always suffer with I find.

Ditched my full beard of 13 years in January. Have shaved every day this year. Have dark thick hair, although recently it's a shade of white... I shave at the end of my shower, in the shower. Over the years I've tried them all. Single blades, 4 blades, 5 blades but the Mach 3 has always been the winner and I buy the multiple cartridges in Costco 20 pack for $45. Each blade lasts around 3 weeks before she gets replaced

Razor, some brand of Gillette shave foam, and a brush for lather and lifting the skin up. For me its finding the right cadence between shaves that prevents the irritation of the skin. If I'm shaving too infrequently the hair is getting a chance to dig in as it regrows so If I left it to the second day to shave I am going to have issues. So it's every day or no days.

Switched to Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 from Gilette recently, they kick Gilette's ass imo. Shave the dome twice a week and shave face every other day, 1 blade has been doing me a fortnight (Gilette's fancy equivalent changed weekly). Cant remember what i paid the last time but on offer atm, 9 blades & handle for £15 on Amazon.
