dammit theyre expensive! What are you guys using? I've been using my same gillete 5 blade or whatever pro glide and its like 30 bucks for a pack of them....

Time to switch to threading...will save you a few bucks

Same here, Gillette Fusion Proglide 5 blade. Shaves closer than anything else I've used.

I've considered the big bag o' cheap razors...like the plastic bic ones...they got some that are double blade...my face is suffering because my legs are taking precedence

Bics are only about $5/bag aren't they?

I don't know. I know I'm not cutting my legs now, but I don't get a week before my blade is worn out and tugging...my hair is thick and coarse on my legs...I don't want to switch if I'm going to be cutting myself a lot...but I figure people have been shaving with worse for eons..

My wife's Venus usually works well, I probably shave more then she does anyhow.

I don't remember which ones i have exactly, their disposable but are three bladed. I believe their Schick. Bought a five pack of them at Target for $8 and work very well. I get about 10, even 15 shaves out of each until it starts to tug. I also don't have very hairy legs so i probably get more life out of them than most.

Mach something or other, had it for several years. Blades last pretty well and it does a great job.

When I am being particularly cheap I use Schick Extreme 3 sensative w/vitamin E and aloe. I get them in an 8 pack...costs around $12. Best disposable I've used so far.

I don't shave my legs (sacrilege, I know) but double edged razors are pretty amazing when it comes to my face. 200 razors can cost $13, and I get less ingrown hairs/pimples/razor burn with them. As far as I can tell they shave just as close as any five bladed contraption out there.

do you know how many times I have eyed hers and wondered.....do YOU!

Your handsomea$$ grandfather had only 1 blade. . .and polio. . .

+1 on the schick I buy a 12 pack and use each razor 2 weeks likely get 8-10 shaves(6face and 2-4leg) good value, not great shave though, but i gets the job done.

Here you go, the last razor company you'll ever need: https://www.dorcousa.com/

Lifehacker mentioned them a while back. I was skeptical but placed and order and they are amazing quality, comparable to anything Gillette or Schick do. And a 6-months supply costs less than two packs of high-end cartriges. I shave my head, so have spent a lot of time looking for good but inexpensive razors. I ordered the 6-blade cartridges with an extra trimmer on the back. My dome has never been smoother...

A friend of mine swears by women's razors for leg shaving. According to him, the blades are angled differently because they're designed for legs, rather than the face. But I'm not so sure.

Is it 4? I bet it's 4.

hahahaha! same here!

boker but it's a straight blade!

every day!!!

I took the plunge and bought a nice double-edge razor a while back. I paid $8 for a pack of blades a year and a half ago... I still have about 3/4 of the pack left. The decision was made after I came to the conclusion that my hair is too course to fit in-between the blades of the newer 3 and 5 blade razors. Occasionally I'll look back at the fancy multi-blade razors and wonder if it would be worth it... but the price always deters me.

Honestly, the hardest part of shaving with a double-edge is over the kneecap. Other than that, life is good.

the knee cap region all around the leg is tough...

Gillette Daisys. 12 for $6

Holy crap, you guys are doing it the expensive way. I buy these cheapo twins for a $1.29 for 6 of them. They're not as good as something like a Mach3 or Schick Quattro, but they get the job done.

BTW, don't bother with womens' razors. The clearance is higher than with mens' (undoubtedly due to the fact that most of them are shaving peach fuzz) and you *never* get a decent shave.

Except when dealing with womens' razors which are specifically designed to not work, I can get a good shave with anything including old skool razor blades.

+1 Gilette Daisy in da house. They do me well.
