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)
