These razors must be the worst razors I have ever used in my life! They are about 69p for 10 normal, disposable razors. I thought i would give them a go, as i am tired of spending loads of cash on blade heads for the wilkinson sword protector (excellent shave by the way!). So i bought them and was happy. I had a shave with them and cut myself 3 times. The razor tears the stuble and dosent cut it, you end up with uneven patterns of stuble depending on the areas of your face and the contours, you shave in the wrong direction trying to get a clean shave and spend twice as long shaving! The razors themselves have no balm strip and a single blade, the ...  Read the complete review

On a recent shopping trip to my local Tesco's store I finally remembered that I needed some new razor blades. Anyone that has read some of my other opinions will know that I swear by the Gillette Mach 3 razor, which has but one problem, a set of four blades costs more that £5.00!!! Upon perusing the razor blade display I noted that they were out of stock of Mach 3 blades (why are they always out of stock when I need them, but have plenty when I don't? Another of life's great mysteries!) Anyway, I noticed that Tesco have their own triple bladed razor system. Aha I thought, jumping on the band wagon a bit aren't they. But who am I to argue when ...  Read the complete review

Safeway now have them by the till, ASDA have little cards you hand in at customer services, Tesco have a huge wall display, but most of the racks are empty. Are razor blades the most stolen item in the supermarket? My husband likes the shave of Mach3 but my purse hates the price, and since they are more often than not sold out (or missing) I buy him whatever is on special offer. The best of the bunch seems to be Tesco's own brand twin blade cassette system for sensitive skin. The cartridges are about 40p each, and they last him two or three days. He says they are easy to change, and his skin is still smooth in the evening. Worst of the bunch turned out to be ...  Read the complete review

Gillette razor blades are a touch on the expensive side, and being a bit poor I thought I'd look for something a bit cheaper. So, shopping in Morrisons I saw their own brand of twin blade lubricated razor - very similar to the Gillette Sensor indeed, and only £3.50 or so - less than the price of some new blades for my old razor. So, I decided to give it a go. I was right in thinking that this was a very similar product to the Gillette, the blades are the same shape, and the Morrisons blades even fit onto the Gillette handle (though this doesn't work the other way around). The first shave with a new blade was actually really good - possibly even better ...  Read the complete review

Facial shaving is something that all men are cursed with, bah! But atleast there's a variety of shaving equipment and accessories that can make the whole process a bit more skin friendlier and/or faster, and Boots own sensitive skin moisturiser lotion is one of those things that I find essential to keeping my skin as soft as a baby's bottom after a brush with a blade (assuming that a soft baby's bottom feels a bit like mild sandpaper after a while). As with most store brand products, the packaging isn't fancy, and there's no gimmick slogans or jets flying by and women appearing from nowhere to kiss a face with the bitter taste of aftershave, ...  Read the complete review
