shaving
I've got really sensitive face skin so I've tried a lot of different razors through the years to try and find one that doesn't make me look like I've lost a fight with a cheesegrater
I've tried electric shavers, I've tried multi-bladed contraptions, I've tried highly adjustable stainless steel double edge razors
Y'know the one that's worked best so far?
A 99p travel razor made out of chinese pot metal with 10p astra blades
shaving
@troubleMoney i can't find the one that worked best for me in stores anymore (it's a disposable-ish one) and i'm down to my last one and getting panicky
the next best are super expensive 5 blade imports
shaving
@squirrel oof, I hope the shops get some of the ones that work for you in soon
shaving
@troubleMoney gillette pretty much has a monopoly here and safety razors are not really a thing
shaving
@squirrel yeah, I'm really lucky as I can get astra blades off amazon, if I was stuck to stores around here it'd be all gillette products
shaving
@troubleMoney the one that worked for me best is a national brand's rip off of the 5 blade fusion that costs less than a fifth of the price
shaving
@troubleMoney doubt it, id have to import
even the fusion blades in stores here are imported so they're fucking expensive (lesser blades are made here)
shaving
@squirrel yeah, there seems to be a competition between manufacturers as to how many blades they can cram on the things
shaving
@troubleMoney i love it
like it seems ridiculous but, it works, somehow
shaving
@squirrel one of these days they'll introduce a razor that's a half metre long and have a thousand blades or something
you just rub your face on it in the morning
shaving
@troubleMoney *squints* what the fuck 7 blades
