No, are they face rippers? Do they shave like a broken glass bottle? Or are they like shaving with rusty garden shears? Do tell ......

JohnnyO said:I thought the best description of the Lazers was by another TSR member and went something to the effect of "Silver painted balsa wood". Apologies to the original poster as I forget who it was.

cruciate said:Interesting. So a shit razor is still a shit razor even with good blades?
I guess this makes sense. But I thought my boots DE was crap because of the persona blades.
I had planned on using it on holiday, but now I'm thinking I'll not.
Thanks again for torturing yourself so we don't have to.
Fair enough,but I am down to the last 2 shaves so if nothing doing with the then just ask ,and its yours my good man.cruciate said:Thanks for the offer, but to get the wilki off you would mean an end to this epic journey you are taking us on!
I do have an alternative, a ?weishi? that I'm going to experiment with and see if I can find a blade that gets it up to holiday standard. So far I'm failing, but I was going to ditch it for the boots de. I'll persevere with the weishi.
The Wilkinson Classic is a pretty smooth shaver. I have tried one shave with one. Cheaply made and light, but you probably will not get nicked. I had more trouble putting the blade in and cutting myself than with the shaving.John said:ok so I couldent dicide between the boots or the wilkinson sword classic, so have got both with some palmolive shaving cream![]()
pictured so you know what to look out for
first impressions of the boots DE razor, well its cheap and I do love the bendy plastic handle, but some people have said some good things about it so see how it shaves.
the wilkinson sword classic, once again plastic but with a mettle core in the handle,so will be an intresting shave.
the cost.....
the boots DE razor £3.79 sold with 5 blades
the wilkinson sword classic £4.16 sold with 5 blades
the palmolive shaving stick £0.49p
the palmolive shaving cream £2.03p
the wilkinson sword brush £3.99p
so the cost is still pretty low I have noticed that ASDA sell personna DE blades in a pack of 10 for £1.89 (made in israel)
so tomrow morning let my personal hell begin then.... ah I should point out that I did walk into John lewis and buy a Kent BK2 brush and some tayolr's sandlewood shaving cream a while back, so some nice things are avalable(not that somebody new to DE shaving will know that)
