Gillette wet razors and cartridges
 

Are there any other blokes out there who get annoyed when they buy new blade cartridges and find out when they get home the 'blades' dont fit the razor , I now have 4 different razors all which take different heads , they either slide in , click-in with outside prongs, click-in with inside prongs or use a center button push , none of the razors (all gillette) have a model number or name on them , it was all on the outside packaging long since tossed, the blade cartridges are no better , only when you rip open the packaging do you find how it fits the razor . It was much easier in the owd days when we had to use 'proper' razor blades, but good luck finding them these days, (besides I usually shave in the shower and no way am i going to be fiddling with blades there) . I'm not even going to get going about how much they cost .
.:pmad: :pmad:
ok rant over

terrible useless things, maybe ok for a woman to use on her legs, but good for ****** all else , You get a better shave using a rasp like Desperate Dan :pcool:

Your right Steeljack I've had the same problem.

I also have the same problem buying light bulbs and the difference be baynet and small baynet, even bought some screw in ones last week by accident!!!!!!!!

Re: Gillette wet razors and cartridges
 

to answer your question - no.

I use an electric shaver.

Re: Gillette wet razors and cartridges
 

know what you mean steeljack, i use gillette n have now 4 differant bloody razors,(1 is wilkinson) tryed the throwaway but they are about as much use as t**s on a fella, wish you could still buy the old single blade, they lasted just as long as these stupid cartridges,n shaved you just as good, n as you say dont mention the bloody price. they also clog up instantantly between the blades n ya have to pig about swilling em round to free em up. COME BACK THE SINGLE BLADE.:psad:

Re: Gillette wet razors and cartridges
 

LOL .. have a few like these meself hedman .. just stupid I suppose :psad:

I just use one of those Venus thingy's .. do feel sorry for you guys though having to shave all the time .. well, hope you do anyway ... can't stand facial growth .. yuk

Re: Gillette wet razors and cartridges
 

got me fella one of those gillette fushion razers, and they are brill , his face feels like a babys bum!!
downside is the price though about £7 for 4 blades but they are supposed to last 3 months so that aint bad i suppose....we'll see!

Re: Gillette wet razors and cartridges
 

Cant remember which one spug uses ... and he bought one when he was down here and its sitting up there in the bathroom. I know he was cursing cos i told him he had to shave :prolleyes:

Re: Gillette wet razors and cartridges
 

Like most people I don't like them (Gillette and Wilkinson) esp, I agree they give a poor shave and cost a fortune.

but then on the other hand I manage with those cheap disposable one without cutting me face, that suits me and me pocket!

Just done a survey with the three 25 year olds in my house at the moment:-

2 use Gillette Quattro .. say is wicked. (They both have fairly strong beard whatever)

The other Gillette Fusion, which has a vibrating head LOL and makes the hairs stand on end for easier 'catchment'. He has just had a shave and let me have a feel, and yes, Panther does remind me of a baby's bum.

Oh yeh, forgot to say all fellas :psmile:

Can't understand anyone shaving in the shower Steeljack .. you won't be able to see what ya' doing. Know some showers have mirrors, but must steam up or get wet ?

Re: Gillette wet razors and cartridges
 

i think you are thinking of the gillette fusion power:prolleyes:,...hes dont have a battery:pwub::phappy:

Re: Gillette wet razors and cartridges
 

Nope , the adjustable mirror is inline up behind the shower head and a bit of the water runs down the back of the mirror to keep it from fogging up , works a treat , dont even have to windolene it :pwink:

Re: Gillette wet razors and cartridges
 

Just checked this misinformation I was given .. no he just uses a fusion, says the 'power' ones fly out of yer hand and into the sink ... :psmile:

Re: Gillette wet razors and cartridges
 

Ok .. realise the Yanks do have one over on us as far as plumbing is concerned ... :psad:

Re: Gillette wet razors and cartridges
 

I have 4razors. I have 2gillete fusions (1vibrating 1that doesnt). And 2wilkinson sword quattro. I hate having to buy new blades costs 20quid for 8 and they dont last as long as they say they will. Have to say though the vibrating fusion is by far the best shave i have ever had.

Re: Gillette wet razors and cartridges
 

my fella paid £14 for 2 packets at asda:D dont know whether they are still on offer though, how old are you speedy, yound lads tend to only have bum fluff, so they really dont need good ones;)....lol

Re: Gillette wet razors and cartridges
 

re. Plumbing in the UK , maybe its changed now but most places I have visited still have separate taps for hot and cold water supply , not many seem to use 'mixer' taps where you can control the water temperature , think it was something to do with the plumbing code/regulations , that and the daft pull cord for bathroom lights .....
ok , don't all jump down my throat at once , its been a while since I visited and know times have probably changed :psmile:

Re: Gillette wet razors and cartridges
 

Im 20. Do get quite a lot of growth to be honest. Have to shave atleast every other day other wise i look like the white bin-laden.

Re: Gillette wet razors and cartridges
 

My housemate still uses 'proper' razor-blades. He's quite particular about his preening though. He's a bit like a woman actually, even does alot of housework and cooking from scratch! Shame the other two lads aren't like that lol.

Re: Gillette wet razors and cartridges
 

I shave every morning, have at the minute the fusion and the quattro, both are good, but both only give a real good shave if using shaving gel, not as close if used in the shower with shower gel.
