I also ditched cartridge razors and got myself a Edwin Jagger DE89 and a pack of blades (Astra Greens) with a tub of TOBS Sandlewood shaving cream. As stated above, a far better shave and far cheaper ! I swear by it and wouldnt leave my DE now. There was a good thread on shaving and the pro`s of a DE razor, worth a search :good:

I'e been using a de razor for about five years now and I would give you a thankyou for any disposable razor. I use an Edwin jagger. 

Look at the traditional shaving company loads of top quality stuff. 

Use a proper brush and cream. It makes you feel like a gentleman

 The smells are nice too. Not like the u15 football changing room. 

For about £40 you'l be all set to go. 

Money well spent

Interesting, thanks guys, do you need a brush and soap or will usual foam do it?  Any suggestions on retailers?

You don't need a brush and soap....normal foam is fine.

But once you have used one you won't go back.

I prefer the hard soaps to the creams, but that's just me.

I tried a double edge, cut myself to bits! Always had sensitive skin when shaving anyway but Jesus it wasn’t for me! 

That’s my concern, 40 quid in and minus a nose isn’t going to cheer me up...

Guys, is it worth going to an old fashioned barbers and buying from them? There a couple near work in London, or is it not worth getting their advice..

You don't have to shave your nose do you?.......

I'm sure there called safety razors for a reason. Better than a cut throat. That still frightens me. 

A stranger that close to my throat with a blade. No Thank you 

Possibly an exaggeration, just imaging a dramatic slip....  Agreed, you can keep straight razors thanks!

It's a different technique to a cartridge razor. 

No pressure on the skin and make sure the skin is pulled tight. 

Use very hot water. 

If you miss a spot, re lather and have another pass. Don't be tempted to keep scraping at it. 

Take it slow the first few times.

Thank you!  Just spoke to a friend about them, his response was ‘why do you think I’ve had a beard for 30 years’ ...

I use a merkur 38c barber pole with a Gillette 7oclock blade and use taylors of old bond street jermyn soap. Best shave ever and wouldn't thank you for a disposable. Ive saved a fortune on blades too last purchase was 2-3 years ago the blades are pennies compared to the mk whatevers and gives you a much superior shave for your money.?

shaving shack are good to real with
