I have always hated
having to shave my face but I dislike having a hairy face even more!
It is itchy, makes my face sore and overall, not a nice thing to
have.

| A Vintage Safety Razor Add |
The market for mens
razors amazes me too. There are the big multi-national companies that
charge a small fortune for their multi-bladed pieces of modern art.
There are the new mail order companies offering their wares at a
discount if you subscribe to a monthly/bi-monthly subscription. Then
there are companies that seem to want you to part with your hard
earned attempting to sell you a classic, single bladed safety razor.
All of this is great
if you like to spend plenty of time on your ‘image’. Me? I like a
clean shave that does not cost a small fortune and that I can
purchase when I want. I use what a lot of people would consider a
cheap and cheerful option. I use an own brand one that one of our big
high street pharmacy sells (you know the one based in Nottingham). It
is a 3 bladed affair and does an excellent job for me. The handle is
inexpensive, yet strong and sturdy. Replacement blades are also
inexpensive. Best of all, I get a really decent shave from it.
I know we are all in
the position to buy and use what we want or like and mens grooming
seems to be a growing thing these days, especially with the growing
trend of fine beards. This is not a rant, just an observation that is
confusing this old git.
