    Bought this last time.

    Not going back to cartridge blades.

    Extremely easy to use with good weight. Try some other brands of blades to feel which suits you.

    • joelmuzz on 09/06/2023 - 16:50

      Ebay, Amazon. The vshod store is good.
      Anywhere but the supermarkets which have bad blades for insane price, they cant charge $1 a pack because it will damage the market of their $30 mach3 refills if people see the real price difference.
      Gillette and other modern shaving brands have a deliberate campaign to sabotage classic DE shaving, since there is no money in every man buying one handle a decade and $10 of blades a year.

            -4

            @MaxStinge: So what were the sources of that information?

            I am neither pro nor against Russia, but I am against wars, all of them and from I've seen most peoples knowledge on this conflict is simply what they regurgitate from the media, and we should all know by now how trustworthy and honest they are. Reminds me of what Orwell noted when he was off covering the Spanish war and spend months embedded in the fighting until he was shot in the neck and had time to read newspapers while recovering in hospital:

            "Early in life I have noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper, but in Spain, for the first time, I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to the facts, not even the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie. I saw great battles reported where there had been no fighting, and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed. I saw troops who had fought bravely denounced as cowards and traitors, and others who had never seen a shot fired hailed as the heroes of imaginary victories; and I saw newspapers in London retailing these lies and eager intellectuals building emotional superstructures over events that had never happened. I saw, in fact, history being written not in terms of what happened but of what ought to have happened according to various ‘party lines’. "

            I was talking to a lady a couple of weeks back who had just called her Friend in Kiev to see how they were doing because she was worried from all the reports being shown on out TV's. The friend had no idea what she was talking about and said that they were completely safe and that life was going on as normal.

            And if you want in informed opinion on the latest dam destruction I've found this guy to be quite sensible.

            https://youtu.be/rjocQFG6TcQ

            So as I said, I am against all wars as it's always the innocent that pay the price but I'm also not that naive that I still believe there are 'good guys' and 'bad guys' when it come to governments.

            What has this got to do with shaving? Beats me, I have a couple of brands of Russian made blades and they are quite good, I also use Kapsersky AV which is open source (last time I checked) so anyone who things Putin is watching what you do online can have some peace of mind.

                @ilikeblue: But do we know WHY they started?

                It's like a lot of the old folk blame Japan for starting a war with the U.S. by attacking Pearl harbour but ignoring the fact that the U.S. cut off their oil supplies and pinched their money giving them all the justification they needed, yet Japan was the bad guy even though the U.S. had been attacking them militarily since the 1800's at least.

                Same thing with this stoush, the yanks (OK 'NATO', but NATO is America for all intents anyway) has been circling Russia and China with missile bases for years and using Ukraine as the proxy they needed to poke the bear just too many times. Do any of us have ALL the facts? Not for second, but as I said if people are so naive as to still believe in 'good' governments and 'bad' governments then they have a very shock coming.

              @EightImmortals: My cousin sister married a Russian guy, guess what? he turned out to be an educated, hardworking and intelligent young man. Not the stereotypical Russian guy from movies. But that's not my point. The context was about goods made by some "honest" Russian business. You should be dilusional to think that you can operate a successful business in a country like Russia without supporting that lunatic and his government ruling the country nowadays. Just like Germans and Japanese people were innocent but got killed due to their lunatic leadership, Russian people are suffering too. Some tools get triggered while they read anything that crises "Russian" leadership. Again read the context please, it's not about Russian people or the culture, we are talking about the lunatic, the business men and oligarchs supporting him.

          It’s strange how one Russian guy does something and so we’re told we must punish every Russian just going about their business completely uninvolved. In any other context this is seen as a highly offensive act.

          As people have highlighted above, Australians have done very bad things, Americans have and continue to do bad things. We see one side of propaganda.

          How about we all condemn all of the bad any country does but we just leave the innocent people of the same country or race alone and don’t judge them for it; just as we ourselves would like to not be judged for any of the bad things Australians have done.

          • RGuy7865 on 10/06/2023 - 08:32

            @rhino015: Read the context before jumping around crying judgement. It was about Russian businesses not people or culture. I urge you to read and understand the context before pulling your trigger.

        Did a bit of digging. Turns out Astra Blades are made by P&G Gillette in St Petersburg, Russia. Which is the same factory producing the razors included in this King C Gillette product. So if you're offended by an American company, owned by shareholders/investors, operating a factory in Russia, making you blades… Then stay away from probably a lot of products.

        Older razors were almost exclusively nickel plated brass. Newer razors are often chromed zinc alloy.

        The newer razors are fine as long as the coating stays intact. But even a small, invisible fissure will lead to a quick degradation of the underlying metal.

        I have a 1950s-era razor handed down from my grandfather that works perfectly. But a couple of my 2000s-era razors are starting to show the telltale signs of the coating bubbling, which suggests that the underlying zinc alloy is on its way out.

        I’ve decided to stick to brass and stainless razors in future.

        Mach 3 is my go to kit too. I haven't found anything better yet. 5 blade ones viz. Fusion 5 are a hassle to clean post use as the spacial distance between the blades are too close. But that may be an individual thing bec's of my rough / hard hair growth.

          yeah agreed, tbh i haven't tried mach 5 i guess i just stuck with mach 3 and it just does the job lol but yeah i should try others to see how it feels.
          i bought this King C. Gillette since its on sale so lets see how it goes hehe

    • Deadalready on 09/06/2023 - 18:04

      Because Mach 3/5s are horrendously expensive? They're what $3-6 a single cartridge? Plus they create lots of waste in the landfill and they don't get as close a shave as a double edge?

      I went from my Mach 5 to straight razor and then to safety razor, I wouldn't turn back at this point. I love the feeling of this style of shaving and the closeness of shave.

    I love my King C shaver and Astra 100 packs. I picked up at full price after reading comments from the last sale that expiried. I used to use the aldi $8 for 4 blades for at least 10 years. I've used 3 blades since April 15th, I shave twice a week. I'm saving the money now and the cut is much much better once you get the hang of it. I tried one Astra and couldn't tell the difference from the included King C blades.

      Try different products. I found shaving cream too light, and shaving oil too thick, and settled on just using body wash after soaking in the shower for 5 mins. But it depends on the combination of handle and blade so what works for one person won't suit everyone.

      Having gone through just about every Proraso option over the last 10+ years, along with plenty of others, I have settled on this stuff as my absolute favourite: https://www.igashop.com.au/product/sanofi-shave-cream-361260

      It lathers up really well with either a brush or just hand application, provides a smooth surface for the razor to glide across, smells nice and costs less than $3!

      You can buy it at just about any chemist or supermarket and it looks hilariously generic, but it is amazing.

      I use a shaving stick; compact and low effort, let's for ages. Arko is the one I'm using now

      Body Shop Aloe is quite good, a little goes a long way.

      Also Washpool, which is an Aussie outfit are quite good. One tub lasts about a year doing 3-4 shaves a week.

    Been using this for a few months and in my experience it is significantly better than the Schick double edge razor (Butterfly close) which I got from ALDI a while back. Very happy.
