    Blades

    I tried one and was surprised that it wasn't half bad. IMO, they're much better than the Derby blades. For the price, I'd give 'em a try if...

    Tried something new - C.O. Bigelow cream

    Bigelow is the old Proraso formula. It's an excellent cream and a great buy when Bath and Body Works is running their "buy two, get one free" sale.

    How many shaves can you get from your blade?

    I use Gillette/Wilkinson blades and I get seven great shaves per blade. If I splurge on the Gillette Blacks, I can get 17 great shaves per blade.
