When it comes to shaving, and the equipment I use to do so, I am a creature of habit. Nivea for men sensitive shaving gel, Gillette Fusion Razor Blade and Nivea for men sensitive after shave balm. That's what I've used for the past couple of years. Ever since the Gillette Fusion came out with it's five blades and one for precision blade on the back, Gillette had me for life, and with Adrien, Gael and Andre using them, I knew I made the right choice,right?
They really are the best a man can get, or so I thought Until the fateful Christmas of 2011 when Santa forgot to deliver my Blades of choice...
How could he forget? I've got them every year since they came out! So I was left with a choice on Boxing day, Head to my local drug store and either; Pick up an ever reliable Gillette Fusion Razor Blades, or..
Throw caution to the wind and pick up another type that I have never used before...
There they were, looking up at my stubbled face saying 'buy me, buy me', a packet of ten Wilkinson sword 'EXTRA Sensitive Vitamin E coated 2 blade razor blades' and so I bought them.
That was 4 1/2 months ago and I have never looked back. I would only have to shave every 3 or 4 days and one of the Wilkinson sword disposable razor would do me about a maximum of 3 shaves and you know what, Its lightweight design is great and there is something about unpacking a brand new razor for a shave that bring a little joy and another element of freshness that comes with a shave.
They even handled shaving off my of so rugged and manly goatee recently when I had to shave it off in aid of dressing up as Albuquerque's finest D.E.A Agent, Hank Schrader, and you know what? smooth as F**k.
I'm not saying that I will never ever use my Fusion Blade ever again, or any of the quality Gillette, King of Shave and Wilkinson sword long term razor blades, I'm sure I will, but from now on, look at the disposable razor blade section with an inquisitive eye and consider buying them as much as the others. There is plenty of variety -Wilkinson sword have big selection, as do Gillette themselves, and the Grandaddy of them all, The famous orange handled Bic...(might save those for Superbowl night or something.)

Everyone sings and dances when they shave, right?...right?
Electric is the new......not electric, my friend. I got mine in work, was reduced from £200, I got it for £43. It's so foncy it even has a button that pushes out moisturiser from the heads AS YOU SHAVE.

When I am a few stones skinnier, I'll resume shaving. Luke's job sounds like a safe bet job job.
