Calm down, calm down, woman! I'm not only saving my dosh, but I'm planning a charity do!Traitor!
Turncoat!
You're a girl!!!
Quantum multi-universe stuff man, far out!Calm down, calm down, woman! I'm not only saving my dosh, but I'm planning a charity do!
Seriously...I was looking to sell an old GEM but I've decided on something a bit otherwisenesssly and want to move my karma away from this possession-related nonsense to more important things. I shall set up a new thread for a charity PIF...so watch this space! (Or not exactly this space, but the space where the other thread is. Or...not exactly that space because it doesn't exist yet...but it will tonight....watch that future space...when I've decided where the thread should be). So there we are then!
OK...but I'm trying to compose a new BST thread but for 'charidy' as DJ's pronounce it...let me concentrate.Quantum multi-universe stuff man, far out!
Then I shall pick up some sandpaper and get those two heads sanded down. I like the rubber backed stuff which I do have a couple of but the sandy part has kinda long gone. Leave it with me ...
Joking aside, I'm not sure you'll like the Rex. If you like the milder side of razors, the lowest settings on it are still assertive.Chris...enough already! OK, I'll remortgage and buy the fekin thing!
Yup...risk is too greatJoking aside, I'm not sure you'll like the Rex. If you like the milder side of razors, the lowest settings on it are still assertive.
If you know how to shave, the setting doesn't matter.Joking aside, I'm not sure you'll like the Rex. If you like the milder side of razors, the lowest settings on it are still assertive.
If its worn Chrome, then it should not need aggresive sandpaper - try the old biking trick of brown paper (or any rough paper, even newspaper will do) + solvol autosol (or any metal polish) . This combo can turn satin finished alloy to a mirror finish fairly quickly -things like footrest plates and fork sliders.Then I shall pick up some sandpaper and get those two heads sanded down.

I think its worth trying on worn plating, to reveal the metal beneath to a high polish without damaging it ?.
I don't disagree with that in terms of the quality of shave delivered but I'd argue that it's still possible to prefer the feel of some razors over others - blade feel and angle etc.If you know how to shave, the setting doesn't matter.

I have been wet shaving for some time, but only become what you might call an 'enthusiast' since around 4/5 years ago. What I mean to say is: I have used many many razors and I know how to shave 'my own face'. I understand the grain of my beard at all angles and days of growth. I've shaved reasonably (given the conditions) with a relatively blunt knife once...it took a long time and lots of really crap 'universal soap' on top of a mountain....but I did it. So 'knowing how to shave doesn't really mean anything to me...having a fantastically relaxed shaving experience does. I totally agree that 'knowing how to shave' means it doesn't matter what razor or blade you use...there's a definite instinct+experience to it. But...if you can shave with any razor, with any blade at any angle and any soap/cream, and any...whatever conditions exist...and still you notice no difference....then why be bothered with any of the subtleties of shaving at all? Why not just go electric or get any old cheapo setup and stick with it and never experiment?I don't disagree with that in terms of the quality of shave delivered but I'd argue that it's still possible to prefer the feel of some razors over others - blade feel and angle etc.
