King C. Gillette Double Edge

What a surprise! – Purchased this Rasor a month ago, as I was annoyed at continually spending $9.00 for 4 Multi Blades for shaving. Typically a disposable multi-blade will last 3-4 shaves and thats it! Bought the Rasor, a pack of 10 Blades (non-propiretary), a Badger Hair brush and some shave soap and a bowl, $82.00 all up. It requires a different approach than to disposable blade shaving and takes a little longer, 5-7 minutes. However, the results are worth it! I much prefer this method of shaving as it is more satisfying, no pulling or rough bits on the face skin, no rashes and after three passes I'm done and just as good a shave as a multi-blade rasor. Technique comes with use and there are videos (believe it or not!), showing you the correct method to get the most out of the Rasor. Also way better than an Electric shaver which are also costly to run, about the same as disposable Blades. It's also a bit "Old-school". So I get around 12 comparable shaves out of one blade $1.20 or ten cents per shave. I dismantle, clean the rasor after use with toilet paper, ready for the next shave. I think this is the key to longevity of the blade. I'm happy so I thought I would share this as some people may be a little apprehensive about making such a move.
