A while ago Avionyx started a thread asking us what was our worst purchase. I thought it would be interesting to ask now what everyone thinks their best purchase has been. Perhaps that phenomenally expensive brush that has defied the odds by justifying its price. Or a brilliant, dirt-cheap blade. Possibly even your very own bathroom, safe from the morning call of the wife and kids: 'Haven't you finished yet?'
To kick us off, my best purchase has been a Gillette Slim Adjustable. I had one as a teenager but was woefully ignorant about how to use it, convinced that a macho young man couldn't possibly use any setting lower than maximum. :icon_cry2: Needless to say, I blamed the razor for the bloodbath that followed. I tried again a couple of years ago and realized that at last I had found the razor that is just right for me. Brushes, creams, blades come and go but that razor (now beautifully re-plated, thanks to the brilliant Dave Glynn) is here to stay.
What about the rest of you?
