Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Came across these on FB and thought they were worth a try.

Very impressed so far. The theory of only having three blades means you don't feel like you have shaved half your face away and also if you like to shave occasionally rather than everyday, the stubble doesn't get pulled by 5 blades as it would with a normal blade. I would say it doesn't shave quite as close as the 5 blade razors but it is more even and perfectly good for me.

Also works out a little cheaper than the rip off name brands. You can only buy online though and not in shops.

Definitely worth a go.

I've found having a beard takes the pain out of shaving.

I just buy bags of disposable razors. The likes of Gillette and Wilkinson Sword razors are now so expensive it really takes the piss. Good they may be but it soon mounts up.

I worked out each new head costs me more than a whole bag of 20 disposables. If i use more than one disposable at a time I'm still not bothered.

Buy an electric one. One off cost, no more hassle and adjustable from close shave to a few mm of stubble. Win win

I personally don't really like electric shavers. 'Real' razors are making a come back. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topi ... 2046&p=277" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Electric for me too. I can adjust it to close shave or a shadow of stubble.

Mostly I just let it grow like a hobo

Yup I use an electric too, cuts as close as a razor, has a cleaning/charging dock and the battery is good enough to last me 3 weeks offshore (shaving every 3rd day).

I tried an electric shaver but it's not very good on the scrotum.

Gillette 3, I think??

Used them for years when I was doing my head....or an electric on the drive into work. With a cup of coffee, And a phone. And breakfast, etc.


Oh....and a steering wheel was in there somewhere too, IIRC.....steer with the knee...!!

I cant use anything but Gillette otherwise it rips my face apart,no idea how anybody uses an electric shaver it must be torture.
I tried King of shaves that were really expensive but totally crap

Come on we need a pic, otherwise all I can imagine is this

Never really got one with electric shavers, scrotum or otherwise.

Just found them such a half hearted attempt at a shave.

Can't use an electric as it gives me ingrowing hairs, despite trying plenty of makes and types, I currently use a Gillette Tech 3, only 3 blades but a good shave. The price of blades is outrageous, but with little choice I'm stuck, so I may well give that link a look - thanks Duke!

when I can be arsed I use a mach3 turbo

I use these:

Very good. Also, you must moisturise after... Don't want any of you poppets getting dry skin. The real shaving company has a great range of after shave balms and shave gels..... Dead cheap at home bargain too., and the shaving gel leaves your skin as smooth as a baby's botty.

It says on their site that it is only available in the US and Canada. Did you buy it in the US or do they have a UK supplier?

Yep I'm a wet shave lad as well. I had an electric one but all it did was tug at hairs and skin!! I tend to buy whatever is on offer but I try to go for 3 blades as I find that gives prefect amount of shaving without cutting your face!!

I've got one of these. I can go a week without shaving and still doesn't pull at the whiskers, cuts as close as I ever have with a blade, cuts wet if you prefer and I use it with shaving gel or oil. Dead easy to clean. Wouldn't go back to blades in a million years.

I got it way cheaper on eBay with an OS plug, but got an Aus one from the shaver shop for $20.

There's just no way an electric shaver cuts as close as a wet shave!

I wet shaved for 11 yrs of military service. This electric razor cuts as close as any blade I have used. Plus it doesn't irritate my skin like a blade does.

I can wet shave with this electric shaver.
