male bonding thread: cutthroat razors

razil

OK gillette have decided to phase out the trusted countour II with lubrastrip, and frankly I can't be doing with all the crap they shove out nowadays, plus its got to be bad for the environment. So should I get a real razor, what are the pittfalls, has anyone tried one or use on currently?

The Gillette 5 blader is the absolute mutts nuts mate - i get quite a heavy stubble and that is the best BY far.

I would loved to use a real one but toooooooooo scared

Better to splash out and get an old fashioned barber to do a hot towell and shave.

PS make sure there isn't a pie shop next door.

You want to use a cut throat razor, you are insane & a braver man than me. Would like to try it once being done by someone who does it for a living yes, but doing it yourself......no way.

Real men use them (apparently) and they are supposed to be the best shave.

i couldn't even trust myself with a bic, let alone a cut-throater !

When i wake up hungover in the morning and need a shave before i go to work the last thing i need is the sharpest object in the world pressing against a vital area of my anatomy (no, not down there)

just found you can buy them on AMAZON (contour Plus).. although bizzarrely you have to be over 18 to buy them!

thi sis true! real men have beards!

Real men shave by wrestling with Grizzly bears every morning wearing their stubble down on its claws.

Can a take a while though, so you'll probably have to get up earlier.

Tigers are a viable alternative, but they can be moody in the morning so you may have to go several days with a beard.

Another option is to befriend Zorro - a duel first thing thing in the morning and with his close sword control he could slice off your stubble and not leave a scratch.

Think i might still have my cut throat from the 70's.. a must for away games!
