Another Fan Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Currently I use Gillette Sensor excel. I would like to stop using them for two reasons: 1) They are expensive 2) A certain football teams stadium is named after the company They do give a good shave though for thick hair. Is there any other good brands out there for thick hair? I tried Harry's and that didn't cut it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Double edge here. sensor excel are great blades and still far less than 5 or 15 blade stuff, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Steal the blades. Not like the Pats** wouldn't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Dollar Shave Club. $9 for their "top of the line" razors shipped every other month Dump the Gillette Sensor. DSC is just as good at a fraction of the cost delivered automatically to your door. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Abandon all of these modern razors now! Buy an old fashioned safety razor that accepts traditional double edged blades, and use high quality shave soaps that you lather up by hand with a brush. You will have superior performance and you can buy 100 super high quality blades for like 8 bucks. I started doing this a while ago and I am telling you! Once you transition to the proper way to shave, you will never go back! Go to youtube and search "wet shaving" or "safety razor" and you will find zillions of videos showing you how to shave, reviews of various products, favorite "top 10" lists regarding all products associated with shaving (soaps, creams, brushes, blades, shavers) and and on. I buy all the stuff online from various specialty web stores. The Merkur 34c from Germany; an excellent razor for the beginner, as it is very gentle on the face and high quality. Costs like $30 or $35 online, will last for 1,000 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Agreed on safety razors, but you have to learn proper technique and it takes awhile and can be a hard process, but well worth it! mantic59 was the best YouTube instructor when I started out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeginnersMind Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I used the single blade razor for a couple years. Cheaper yes. Cleaner shave not really. More cuts 100%. No matter how good you get at it, you will cut yourself. I now use Harrys. They work well and are cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You definitely have to be more patient but for some reason I like it better. You can get a cleaner shave but it’ll take you 5 times longer.

I didn't see the big difference I was expecting and it took much longer to shave. I now go through Dorco, the blades are cheap and do a great job. I think someone on here mentioned in a similar topic about Dorco being the company used in the dollar shave club (not sure if that is true though). At any rate, I think they are great. http://www.dorcousa.com/for-men/ Edited January 25, 2018 by ricojes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richmond_Bills Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Another vote for Harry's. Cheap and great quality. Went from a Sensor Excel and the shave is noticeably better with Harrys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeviF Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Safety razor, good shave soap, badger hair brush, Personna Red Pack Israeli blades. Never look back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy KGB Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 None of them. Hair grows back to fast and it takes an hour if I let it go past 5 days of growth. I use hair clippers on the smallest setting and it takes a fraction of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
