167.0. "Shavin & Stuff...." by GIAMEM::HOVEY () Tue Apr 11 1995 12:32

    
    	How long do you use your razor blade before discarding it ?
    
    	Who makes the best blade ?
    
    	Are there any "good" electric razors ? Do they do as good a job as
    a blade or are they just a better than nothing substitute ?
    
    	What's the best shaving cream ?

the best part of shaving for me is putting on the aftershave: a fresh start
to the day!

167.3one blade once POLAR::WILSONCSat Apr 22 1995 01:206
    I use gillete trac II disposable razors, one shave one razor once a
    week. Sometimes i'll shave twice in a week but only under duress.
    Noxema shaving soap with badger fur brush. I use a little hydrogen
    peroxide after i shave, it doesn't reek like after shave and doe a good
    job sealing up any nasty cuts.

I recently switched to a Braun foil shaver after my Norelco died (it was,
I think, my third Norelco - all of which have suffered premature battery
failure).  I've used foil shavers in the past (Remington), but thought it would
be interesting to see how I liked them now.  I also liked the Braun's
Nickel-Metal-Hydride battery which should perform better and outlast the
Nickel-Cadmium battery in the Norelco (as well as being better environmentally.)

I'm finding the Braun shaves closer than the Norelco, but I have to work more
at it - it takes me longer to shave and I have to keep going back for 
missed spots.  I do like the trimmer on the Braun - no Norelco I've ever
owned had a decent trimmer.

167.6BLADES FOREVER AND SOAP ONLYSTOWOA::RONDINAMon Jun 19 1995 13:227
    I get at least 2-3 weeks out of my blades. I use BIC or whatever is
    handy at the check out register. Blades last for ever, until
    wife/daughter use them for legs.  Then, it's like shaving with my saw.
    
    I have not used shaving cream in years and years.  I use plain old
    soap. I get a closer shave  and don't have to worry carrying large
    shaving cream cans.

    About the distaff side of the family using one's razor, please
    get them their own handle and let them use the blades once thou
    hast finished on thy face.  The blades are still good for legs
    and underarms once the male face has taken its toll on them.  
    This is recycling at its best.  But, make sure a handle for the
    tub is available and a container for the face blades are avail-
    able.  For some reason, the shaving companies feel that lady's
    legs and armpits are delicate and need a lightweight blade and
    handle.  Phooooie...

    I find that I get a better shave after a hot steaming shower and
    using a shot of shave cream with a male blade.  Faster, easier, 
    and cleaner.
