Darkbulb said:2) A Gibbs Plus/Minus razor, also with original case
(The + and - signs indicate what side of the head is more or less aggressive)
This razor takes proprietary blades but luckily, for me, the modification needed is super easy (just trim the edges of any modern DE blade).
It was half price compared to the Rocket - got this one for 16 dollars.
Will be great fun trying them out once I find a slot for them on my s/sheet this year
Andy said:Darkbulb. I'd be interested to see how you get on with the blade mod on the gibbs. Got one a while back and havent found a reliably succesful method yet !

Get yourself a generation 4 synthetic brush, it does wonders with the TOBS , these brushes are less than £15 on ebay.Rascally said:After near on 5 months of beard growth I decided the time had come to whip out the Slim and give my cheeks some air.
I ordered some Polsilver SI blades and, after trawling of the forum for recommendations, some TOBS Mr Taylor's shave cream.
Both arrived, beard is removed but I'm not too impressed with Mr Taylor's, non-descript fairly generic whiff and moderate performance :-( Pitty, I've got a whole tub of it to get through..
