Is it my imagination, or has the quality of razor blades gone way down.Even shaving with the top brands feels like I'm using a blade thats been used a hundred times-else I'm just getting old and leathery!🙈

I've been using Harrys for years with no issues.

I don't shave every day though and let a fair bit of stubble to build before I shave.

Probably the most cost effective of the big brands but I've moved to double edge razor, Paraso shave cream and shaving brush. Its a bit slower but a better shave and skin feels less inflamed after.

Japanese feather or straight razor.

Cartridges are a scam

Definitely.  I use those Gillette Mach 3 (or some such number). They're feckin' expensive and don't seem to last nearly as long.  Any decent alternatives??  I usually shave every day bar a Saturday.

I did the same years ago - much better job. Saying that I grew a beard out of laziness and I can't pluck up the courage to shave it off again.

More bearable to tackle it with the DE razor than a cartidge type thats for sure.

Mach 3 I find best. I don't shave everyday so I get weeks out of  the same razor 

I've resorted to shaving while in the shower lately. The heat  of the water softening the skin  Seems to  make it easier. Also   I can't be arsed  frigging about with the  sink and the mess  that that ensues

Frig me but shaving is  a pain in the hole
