What razor do you travel with?

i've always had disposables to hand, for work and more often the gym as i have to take everything with me.
no permanant lockers.

before that it was a Gillette Sensor, which i still have somewhere and is probably the best of the 'shaving systems'
i seem to remember getting loads more shaves per cartridge than i do with DE blades, in fact i'd go as far as saying that money wise it worked out as cheap
well in my mind/memory it did?

no doubt hunny will have his calculator out forth with and prove me badly wrong :roll: :lol:

Depends on what you were spending on cartridges and what you now spend on blades.

For me for the last year what I've needed to spend and what I've actually spent are two very different numbers.

What I needed to spend, if I was on the shoestring budget:

Razor (Gillette Flair Tip Rocket from a house clearance shop) : £1 (and I'll assume I switch it every year for simplicity)
Blades (125 blades at 59p/5): £14.75
Soap: £6 (one and a half cakes of MWF would do it)
Brush: £20 (and I'll assume I switch it every 4 years)

Shaving for the year will therefore cost me £26.75 (anything above that is a 'hobby' cost :D - I may need the services of a consulting accountant to allocate costs correctly to the right cost centres)

Before I switched, I used to buy Mach3 cartridges in packs of 24 (£30ish) and cans of gel in a 12 pack (£6.50) - that lasted more or less 12 months but I didn't shave every day (I hated it and avoided it for as long as possible, then hated the shave itself).

So my actual shaving is costing less and I'm enjoying it more - if it weren't for shaving we'd never have "met" - both are priceless positives, oh and sticking it up Gillette is a nice feeling too :lol:
 
told you :roll: :lol:

as a side topic, everytime i visit my mate in Lamancha we go to Costco before we come home and they have packs of 20 Mach 3 cartridges for <£20.
i end up supplying some of the lads at work.

along with bringing home my supplies of dead pig/coo/yicken and haggis pizza's
