Bloody 5 blade razors.
I'm going back to 3 blade Gillette disposables. They were ace. Cheaper, gets into that little bit on the top lip by the nose easier, doesn't require vibrating batteries, I swear they left a smoother finish, quicker...
5 blades! Who used to shave with 4 blades and think: "you know what, I wish my razor had a fifth one!"...Whats next? The Gillette Samurai Sword? For the Ultimate Close Shave...
I was always in the "fuck off with your five blades nonsense" camp, but then I had to make a distressed purchase a couple of months ago and ended up with a Wilkinson Sword (Schick to you furriners) Hydro 5 (I used to use KoS Azors). I have to say...its brilliant. It gives a superb shave and the blades last really well (always my beef with Gillette), and there's a little flip up thing to allow you to do the under the nose bit. I'm a convert.
