    Wow, I've never had that problem, and I'm a hairy bastard. Now that I have a beard, I shave once a week or so to keep it trimmed, and I still don't need to unclog the razor.

    Only time that happened to me was when the lather was too thick and not whipped up enough

    €34.95 gets you started at shaving.ie - any of those starter razors are perfect

    Admittedly that's 109 of your Blue IIs but you should see money payback and way better shaves after about three months. Plus think of the amount of plastic you will divert from landfill.

    Honestly, at my age, spending that much on one razor is a bit . . . excessive. I know that there are people out there that use straight blades or DE razors, but for what I need it for, a Blue II does the job, I might go to a Mach 3 after christmas or so, but nothing too costly. I'm not here to offend anyone, but the more "real" razors, if that makes sense, are of no use to me.

    Thanks for the advice anyway.

    I doubt any sensible person would take offence to that PBJ. If what you currently use works for you then why change?

    I would even question if changing to a Mach 3 would be worth it over the Blue II. Price wise the Blue II would be cheaper and I wouldn't think performance would be that different.

    Your choice, as hitemfrank says, and I respect that. I do find your logic odd though, buying that starter set means you are spending less on shaving rather than more. Mach 3s are ferociously expensive.
    Typical cost for twelve cartridges is £11.99 – (£11.99 divided by 12 weeks of shaving x 52 weeks a year = £51.96 for a year’s worth of Mach3 cartridges.)

    http://www.shaving-shack.com/blog/double-edge-shaving-vs-mach-3/

    So €64.46 for Mach 3 for a year verses a one off investment of €35 plus cents per shave. But as you say "nothing too costly".

    At the end of the day up to you.

    Well I saw a set of Mach3 with 15 cartridges for €25 today. I never looked into the costs before, but you've kinda git me stuck in two minds now.

    I forgot about that deal they are doing right now. That's actually a pretty good deal considering the usual price of them as far as I know.

    I read somewhere that after the initial outlay for a DE razor and blades,that the cost per shave works out at about 1-2 cent per shave-now compare that with the cost of mach 3 blades...
    Also, the ritual of shaving "old school" has a lot going for it..:cool:

    Take a look at shaving.ie for ideas..
