Agreed. I used to hate shaving. I used to shave only once a week on Sunday night because my face and neck would be red after shaving.

At the time I was using Mach 3 and normal supermarket shaving foam/gel.

Then I tried a DE razor and wow! No more burns! I even ditched the shaving foam/gel and only used hot water.

Im never going back to cartridge razors again. Single blade is so much better than 2/3/4/5 blades.

depends on the razor blade too i think....

i remember using the good ol' gillette necet razor blade and it almost never burns. can reuse it for a couple of times before i throw it away because its getting blunt.

the cheap razor blade usually what makes the razor burn

Went to Haniffa Department Store. Here's some of what they have...

Brush.


DE Razors.


DE Razor Blades.

Mydin Subang Jaya

DE Razor Blades.

yeah agreed ... i guess is the washing of the blades after the shave & not drying the blade after washing that makes the blade goes blunt & hence the razor burns

Yeah ... Currently i'm using 3 blades cartridge razor.. shall give the single blade a try since u recommend it

For me, razor burn occurs when I go over the same spot over and over and over.
Doesn't matter if the blade is sharp, blunt, cheap, expensive.

Previously,
If a blade was blunt, I would naturally go over the same spot numerous times to get a smoother shave resulting in razor burns.

Now,
If a blade is blunt and I don't have a replacement, I just go WTG once or twice and stop. Obviously not a close shave but no razor burns.

Saw this shop recently. Can't believe the prices of the goods there!

ahhh.. that explains your razor burns .. your blade is blunt & you go over the same spot over & over again
imo, use electric 3 blades razor like bruan will be ideal ..

This seller on muda.my seems to have quality de shavers... price wise is reasonable...but not for the vintage stuff like Fat boy...

Not really, he's probably getting it from the UK as well and adding his ~30% cut.
Got mine straight from the UK in 9 days.

The vintage Gillettes are marked up way way too much imo...

Any good after shave lotion or cream ?
Still getting a few nicks from DE

I got the Nivea Mens Post Shave Balm to try. It's more like a moisturizer lotion than say an alcohol based after shave that is refreshing and stings if you have nicks.
Thinking of getting the Old Spice After Shave and/or Thayers Astringent to try...

Was it sent from the UK via standard mail?

Yes. Royal Mail International Standard.

One of my mint Gillette Slims has arrived...

That looks frickin awesome!

i missed the good ol' safety razor shaving... too bad i dont have the luxury now to spend anything for a hobby....

Cheers!

Watch this...
