By jove, I’m a nosey bugger and today I wish to pry out of you all what type/brand of razor you use.
How much are you willing to shell out on razor blades?
How many times do you use a blade before changing it?
How often do you shave in fact? (And where….?) (not wishing to take this into any lewd territory, obviously…..) 
Over to you good folks  |

Been using an old school safety razor, use feather platinum blades… razor was £50 but a ten pack of blades are £3.50, get 5/6 good shaves before it starts to nick.. badger brush to soften & reduce ingrown hairs and an alum block for that home alone moment after.
I would never go back to a cartridge razor again. |

Used to use a wet blade (old fashioned 'safety razor') for my head and face but I got lazy and use a phillishave electric. I use a wet blade (usually dry unless I've left it a bit long) to smooth out the nether regions |

I’m with you on this. GE razor and blades are so cheap who cares how often you have to change them |

Have been using Harry's for the last 6 months or so and so far so good. Gives you a nice clean shave I use for my face and head I'd say twice a week or so. Cock gets a shave with some cheap disposable ones  |

Another thumbs up on this. I have a Merkur (long handle), after one to many nicks I bought a few different blades and not had any from Merkur super platinum. They keep sharp for weeks with simple stropping. Cream I use Proraso - the tubes last well over a year. I can't imagine the money I've saved not buying gillette |

I forked out over £100 for a good German Cutthroat. In 2017.
Worth every penny. Just strop every couple of times and it's good to go. Coupled with a shaving soap and brush it's saved me a fortune. |

A single edged razor. Dermatologist recommended one to stop ingrowing hairs and it works. Expensive to start about £80 for the razor but the blades are cheap as chips. Spend about £10 on blades per year now and same again for a good shaving foam. |

I use a Gillette Superspeed DE razor, with blades from Merkur, Wilkinson Sword, Boots, or wherever I pick a couple of packs up from. Blades usually last five to seven shaves minimum, and as others have said, are cheap as chips compared with cartridges.
I use Palmolive shaving soap sticks, and lather up with a badger brush. I have a light and patchy beard though, so don’t need to shave more than every other day. |

Got an electric jobbie to tame the main growth, the use the Lidl blue and orange own brand wet shave one- works just as well as a Gillette with the added advantage of depriving some over paid footballer/future sex offender ive never heard of from an extra pay day, for parading their daft haircut of the month on TV to promote it  |
