Two blades are better than one.
Three blades are not better than two.
Four, five, six or seven blades are worse than three.
My all-time favourite was the original Gillette Sensor (not Sensor 3 or Sensor Excel.)
I have not tried using cut-throat razors or a high-end electric shaver (the cheap ones suck.)
But there are loads of people who do fine with safety razors, so there's clearly some personal preference or face topology or beard structure or some other factor that makes a difference.
I tried the Dorcos 'cos the Azor was discontinued, and most of the alternatives (Harry's, Cornerstone and so on) were either far more money or were subscription only. Then they turned up and were good - the 4 and 6 particularly.
As I've said, they work for me and there's an offer on. I've not at any point suggested that these are the right razors for anyone else...
I will report back on the 7-blade cartridge that comes with the Classic handle if anyone is interested.
I've leaped in with a year's Pace 4.
I've been doing this thing for years where I only change my razor on the solstices, equinoxes, and cross-quarter days and frankly, it's a bit bonkers.
The handle is lovely. Heavy and it feels expensive.
The blades... less so. More irritation than the 4 or the 6. I think the 4 is where it's at, but on the 7 handle.
That means I have 4 unused Pace 4 handles, and a full set of unused cartridges (ie a 3, a 4, a 6, and a 7). Anyone wants to try them just pop me a PM. And possibly some postage money.
If I like them, you'll get a free fiver!
I definitely like the Classic handle best.
The 4 and 6 work fine, but they are rubbery and futuristic and trainer-like, where the Classic looks and feels like chrome and bakelite (in a good way).
My delivery is due 22nd Jan :-)
I got me razors today.
Look nice... shiny....
i orders a classic and 8 of the 4 blade cartridges.
But daft really, I have a full beard. :-).
