![]() There was also a lengthy period where he essentially wrote all of T3 magazine every month for about 3 years.Ī broadcaster, raconteur and public speaker, Duncan used to be on telly loads, but an unfortunate incident put a stop to that, so he now largely contents himself with telling people, "I used to be on the TV, you know. A cricket fan for over 30 years, he also recently become T3's cricket editor, writing about how to stream obscure T20 tournaments, and turning out some typically no-nonsense opinions on the world's top teams and players.īefore T3, Duncan was a music and film reviewer, worked for a magazine about gambling that employed a surprisingly large number of convicted criminals, and then a magazine called Bizarre that was essentially like a cross between Reddit and DeviantArt, before the invention of the internet. He also has about 400 vacuum cleaners, and is possibly the UK's leading expert on cordless vacuum cleaners, despite being decidedly messy. In his long and varied lifestyle-tech career he is one of the few people to have been a fitness editor despite being unfit and a cars editor for not one but two websites, despite being unable to drive. He also covers cycling and ebikes – like over-using italics, this is another passion of his. He has covered everything from smartphones to headphones, TV to AC and air fryers to the movies of James Bond and obscure anime. His current brief is everything to do with the home and kitchen, which is good because he is an excellent cook, if he says so himself.

Once you've established what your favourite is, scour the deals at Boots, Amazon et al to find the best price on blades. Razors come in a bewildering array of special packs, limited edition packs, multi-packs and… just packs. The obvious thing to do is to buy the cheapest version of any given razor – usually just the shaver and one blade – when you're trialling a new one. ![]() More to the point, the SkinGuard takes a similar approach but is even more comfortable, due to only having two blades, leaving this older razor as a rather niche product. The result is that it glides even more smoothly and safely over your dermis.Īgain, the down side here is that I find it glides so smoothly, it actually shaves less effectively, because the blades are fractionally further away from your skin, and in contact with the hairs for fractionally less time. I compared to the Fusion and Hydrosense to the Dorco Pace 7.Another version of the ProGlide, this takes the SkinGuard approach, with lubricating strips positioned both before and after the blades. I guess I could take a knife or razor blade trim some of that off. The only drawback to the Schick for me is the large amount of lube that it puts out. ![]() Of the Schick and Fusion I have, I probably would take the Schick. They are not only thicker, deeper, & slightly longer, but they are also more openly-spaced for less blockage of shaving cream & hair while shaving. One could if they wished run a lesser bladed model for the first pass if drag was an issue and then still benefit from the great closeness on the second pass that a 5 or more blade cart delivers." You likely won't notice much if any difference on the second and subsequent passes. The Schick glides a little easier than either the Gillette or the Dorco, and if that is a big issue for you, the Schick is the one to get. I shaved four hours ago and even now can't feel stubble on 90 percent of my face when rubbing against the grain. Over the past two years or so, my cartridge razor of choice has been the Schick Hydro 5. No razor of any type has ever given me a bbs there. It’s been quite a few years of me being bald and hairy, after all. The only place not true bbs is at the very bottom of my neck where the hairs grow almost parallel to the skin. ![]() I was going for a bbs yesterday and today and got it with no irritation, or weepers anywhere. If the best choice is 4.00 per cartridge, and the second best yet still perfectly acceptable choice is 1.00 per cartridge, well, I’m pretty sure I know my choice. Honestly, there is not enough difference here to be concerned about at all. The Dorco was a whisker better than the Gillette. "On the closeness of the shave the Gillette performed a whisker better than the Schick. I wrote this mini review in the What Cart Did You Use Today thread. I have the Fusion Proshield an Hydro 5 and I get an almost identical shave with them. ![]()
