i had one


loved it. it was actually one of my grandfather's old razors....


damn nice shave, but yeah gotta take your time w/ it....




unfortunately it turned up missing somewhere between my moves from Kwajalein to Afghanistan to CONUS...... I have been thinking of getting another one, but miss the sentimentalness (is that a word?) of my late grandfather's razor.

I do believe we have now had it all on this board... btw I have a few really old shavers back in Michigan at my Step mom's. A couple from my grandpa and 2 or 3 from my dad . Since my dad was born in 1923 I'd imagine that they are pretty old.

You may want to look into snagging them and using them if they're still in shape. A 4 pack of Fusion refills at Target is now $14, and the Mach 3 refills are $13. An 8 pack will set you back $20. Fucking criminal.

No thanks,I'm cool with my Braun or using the Fusion. I honestly got almost a year or so from a 4 pack of Fusion blades but I only shave about once a week. The way I understand it is that the 1st blade gets dull,then the 2nd,the 3rd,etc. You're only really using any two or poss. three blades at one time. Anway,I got the Fusion for X-Mas 2 years ago and I just recently bought my 2nd pack of blades. I started shaving with a DE razor,no thank you.

Fuck, I wish I got that. I go through the 4 packs in about a month and a half, two months if I'm lucky. And once those blades start getting dull, it's painfully obvious. My face breaks out like crazy and I start getting wicked razor burn. Electric razors are useless on me. It looks like I have a 5 o'clock shadow about an hour after I shave. If I can avoid all that and save money, I'm all for it.

interesting this came up... I forgot my razor while at my parents house... and had about two weeks of stubble to shave off (about 3 days for the rest of you) so I grabbed a 2 blade cheepy that was sitting in my parents extra bathroom.... best shave I've ever had... cut so much better than the fusion I've been using.

Maybe you were using a better lather....hahahahaha! Or maybe it's relative because you went so long. Besides,are you turning on the vibration? The vibration makes all of the difference! Oh and I just replaced the battery after 2 years too.

yeah even with the vibration... and honestly... when I wait that long... i usually have a horrible time shaving... even with a new blade it pulls bad... but I think that's more because my facial hair isn't very thick...

Ahhh I don't know. I'm tired of shaving all together! I wonder if they can permanently laser all my unwanted facial hair off?
