Hey Guys:

Does anyone remember the type of double blades that have a little plastic bar that cleans out the cuttings from between the blades. If so, do they still sell them? I don't shave every day, but when I do the blades get really clogged up and hence aren't so great at cutting. I use a Shick FX now, and don't see the need to try those triple/4 bladed ones as it just seems they would clog up that much more. Hope someone can help a brother smooth out his face! Thanks

I used the Shick for a long time. Started as "wilkinson-Sword" .
Fine blade. worked well for guy who shave once a day, twice on weekends.
Lots OF hot RUNNING water would clear the blade.
Now using a tri-blade. Seems even better. Except for triming the side-burns.
Hard to get it right.
Seem to change blades every 4-6 shaves.

Those new blades seem to clog less, because they cut finer and finer slices of the hair. I held on to my two-blade razors for a long time, until (yes, it's true) an SP lent me one of her Quattro razors and told me to try it, that if she could get her legs silky smooth with them, I should be able to get a really close shave.

I did try it right there, and it was amazing. Of course, it helped that I was shaving in the presence of a gorgeous lady clad in nothing but shaving cream.

How will I be able to sleep with the thought of a naked/lathered Strongbeau in my mind?

I need more BOOZE...Erase this horrible horrible image....:D
 
I don't know whether the new razors with the extra blades are really worth it. I.e. Gillette Fusion etc.. I still use the regular Gillette two blade razors - a lot less expensive, and they work fine for me.
 
The Gillette Mack3 blades do not have anything behind them, so the whiskers, and the water poor right through between the blades, no clogging at all. Used to use the type of razor mentioned, and remember that they did clog up. The 3 blade razors are more expensive, but seem to last longer.

mach 3 power = shave once a week no razor burn
other cheap blades = shave every two days lots of razor burn
