Razor Deals & Offers

Feel your pain. I had a Scott CR1 £1k for about 2 months and it got stolen. Got this bike as a replacement and i love it. With time i have changed(not mentioning tyres and inner tubes): Saddle, back wheel, both v brakes, brake cables, bar tape and pedals. I'm doing 200km a week average so quite a distance for this bike to suffer. Nevertheless once washed feels like new

I purchased last year's model, decent bike for the money especially at this price, got it to get some more cycling miles in, as mountain biking is what I enjoy most, so didn't want to spend the earth. Own a high end Vitus mtb and was impressed by them so got the razor as well. Overall a good bike for the money, think it was the cheapest I could find with sora groupset. Have had no issues with it over 12 months/1000 miles. Great entry level bike

They're also much better brakes and much better cyclists

It's rare to see disk brakes on a road bike (though that might start to change soon). They're more common on hybrids 9and standard on most modern mountain bikes). Disk brakes are better if you commute on muddy paths, rim brakes are fine if it's all on roads/surfaced paths (pads need replaced a bit more often though).

Professional road racers all use 'pincer' rim brakes and they descend mountains at frightening speeds. So they should be OK for your commute.

Nice find @Forbez I shall keep an eye out for this in my local

Super deal! Thanks for sharing!

Is this safe for scrotal area?

IMO the Mach 3 is far more superior than this "successor" less blades less irritation less blades more spacing between. This thing get clogged very fast. Try de shaving guys blades work out cheap as 5 pence per blade

Easier going to the self scanner in Morrisons. I even used 4 out of date vouchers as well as the 4 valid vouchers that I received. ;)

Whenever I try and pay it says The page has expired due to inactivity. Please refresh and try again. ?

Good point, and btw I wasn’t trying to be disrespectful so I apologise if it came across that way

I'd camelcamelcamel this links to the products to make sure you aren't paying anymore than you should.

Does anyone know if this comes with pedals?

But yet you have cherry picked the Brompton whilst ignoring the Farley which was the fork and not carbon - or how about the Genesis steel fork recall. As to this being carbon but your context was taking advise from a friend that engineers carbon bikes as stated not to buy used without scanning. Is this a used bike that you are buying second hand? Are you supplying your own bias? Are you failing to give the full picture including Carbons very strong positives? The Design and engineering is everything - differing materials have different properties and the engineering of that material is the key to its success. It is easy enough to state the various different properties for carbon, steel, the alloys (6xxx and 7xxx used in biking) and even titanium. However, we have already done this cycle and I understand you don't like carbon - personally I like my steel, aluminium and carbon bikes in different ways for different uses as they are engineered differently to cope with. Even what is considered the worse, most brittle material and quickest to fatigue you can see being pushed way beyond the bounds of anything you would be capable of (big boned or not) when engineered accordingly.

Brompton recall was for a bottom bracket wasn't it or was there more than that. I make the point about carbon because if you park the bike up and then come back to find it has been knocked over etc it may internally be damaged. It just isn't durable and may not be ideal for an everyday bike dropping into potholes on occasion. That is the point I'm making you are sacrificing safety for performance and lightness. Sometimes you read threads and reads like people view it as safe and strong as steel or aluminium but it isn't. My understanding is this bike does have a carbon fork so carbon durability and safety is pretty much on topic. Many manufacturer's give a lifetime warranty on steel or aluminium frames and forks but only a short guarantee on carbon forks like 2 years. This varies by manufacturer but its common to see this.

Yeah, it's a shame that they haven't been able to match the T3 since. They should have just kept that model going really and upgraded it to claris. It still would have been good value if they'd upped it by £50 to match the Merlin PR7 (also now out of production :( ).

Maybe useful in a discussion on used second hand carbon bikes, as whilst we could be cyclic going around that you do not like carbon whilst I sit on the other side of the fence - design, engineering and implementation of all materials is the most important e.g. Farley 6 fatboy/Brompton folding bikes all had huge recalls and are not using carbon (counter wise spesh and bianchi had a huge number of carbon fork recalls) - but time to get this thread back to the OP context.in the consideration of these new bikes.

Gillette proglide is best. It feels like hurting if I try to use one of these . Have so many of these from previous deals listed here but don't like them now even if free.

You have to have a close look and see which way your neck hairs grow. Mine grow outwards towards my ears, so shaving across makes it a lot better. Quick passover with an alum block and jobs a goodun!

Yeah tried for months trying to learn de shaving and gave up. Neck was cut to pieces,

There were about 7/8 of them left on the shelf earlier.

I use a DE razor so no use to me sadly, but a bargain for those that use cartridge razors (y)

These and mach 3 r by dar the best cartride razors I've tried

I second this. Fusion and proglide are awful. Best cartridge razor out their is a Mach 3 or hydro 5 wilkinson sword. But DE shaving is above all of these

And stropping them up a old pair of jeans. My old razor head was 17 months old before I discarded it by doing this. Keep the blades sharp

Or learn how to use a DE safety razor, their better than any cartridge razor

Thanks. I will keep an eye out for a bottle.

You must be doing something seriously wrong no one else would say that. :( I have tough beard one shave with a disposable is all I manage, 3 weeks or more with a fusion.

Aldi own brand for about a quid is as good as this imo.

pure green.

Any good?

£ in poundland

same price in ASDA (Ruislip).....bought 2 day before. Heat..

Is this ok for groin area

had one of these for 5 or 6 years. Fantastic bit of kit. Im a bit of a lazy shaver and after 3 or 4 days its too long for the electric shaver, and it hurts with a wet shave razor as i have thick coarse hair it pulls. I use the trimmer function on this to relly cut away most of the hair and then im ready for a quick eletric shave or a wet shave that doesnt hurt. Great bit of kit.

Ordered Thanks OP! (highfive)

I've met Scooter a few times..... Baxxter's the man ;) maxmix

No Full HD? Or HDR i should say now days

No band 20, no thin bezels, no deal, voted cold. ;)

Thanks man just cant get the concept

From the "Instructions for Usage" section of a well reviewed razor on Amazon - sums it up perfectly "Instructions For Usage " No Pressure: These razors are not designed to be bullied into the beard or skin. In fact, doing such will undoubtedly lead to bleeding or irritation. Instead, double edges should gently glide across the face, and even with light pressure, will adeptly remove stubborn stubble. Change The Angle: Double edge razors should move across the beard area at an angle of approximately 30 degrees. Shaving should commence slowly and carefully with short, light strokes in the direction of hair growth. Since hair grows in different directions on every man, make sure to take note of your specific hair direction prior to shaving. That said, obviously no slicing or side-to-side motion. Stretch The Skin: More so than with multi-blade cartridges, double edge razors do their best work on skin that is held taut. So, when taking passes on the cheeks or neck, use that free hand to stretch these areas.

the correctly angled blade as it begins it's downward stroke (aided by a super slick lather of shave cream) will need the gentlest of downward pressure from yourself which in combination with the weight of the blade will achieve a successful shave I found really HEAVY razors with long handles suit me best - currently use a Edwin Jagger Head on a Parker 26C Handle

Only one stroke per shave. Ie if you have taken the soap off with the first stroke, and still have stubble don't be tempted to do another stroke, finish your shave, then soap up again. Easiest way to get cuts or burn with a DE is double stroking once the soap is gone. Decent soap makes a hell of a difference as well. I use proraso (I think that's what it's called). I also use their post shave Balm (stuff that comes in a white glass jar) as a pre shave lubricant.... Smells lovely as well

Thanks for the oil recommendation. As it happened I just ran out of cream and hadn't gotten around to buying any so I picked up a little bottle of oil and Tesco and had a shave when I got home. Closest shave I've had with my razor to date and no cuts even with the feather blades. I did wonder for a long time if I was making up my foam properly, I guess the answer is no! The oil is very convenient so I will definitely alternate between the 2!
