I shave every other day I cant stand not having a shave, I use Gillette MACH 3 TURBO, I buy at the big Top's they sell a jumbo pack, not sure if has 8 or 10, but if you calculate the cost per blade it works out the cheapest, as for shaving crème I use my wife's conditioner at the moment, I get a really smooth shave, I do have good skin, all the ladies say that,
