Gillette is what I use, and Fusion 5 as well, it is just the overpriced blades you get here in Thailand, most likely made for asians, not older westerns with thicker stubbs or facial hair. When I was younger, Im sure they would had been just perfect, but now, my facial hair is like an iron brush in comparison.

am with you and can't find anything better, you are correct, the locally produced quality is poor, the blades don't last long and if you keep them in the open pack they get damaged by the humidity

I'm not that hairy, but used machine yesterday and original Gillette fusion now, and it is like baby face. Perfect combo.

thanks I get that result only the first 2 shaves with one pass, after that have to make 2 passes to have it smooth, one pass doesn't do it and keep doing it for 4-5 shaves, after that they are only good to shave my head, I am running low and been waiting for the Lazada promo to order some, right now the wife said the price is around 700 something baht for pack of 4 or something on that range, she's the one in charge of ordering thus I am not familiar with all the price and discounts involved

I bought mine from Amazon. No problem with delivery.

Awesome, thanks!

You can't beat a Merkur 42C with some Feather blades.

It's very efficient and it costs almost nothing (razor around THB1,200.00 and blades THB4.00 each)

I use those, i posted further up, also the razor similar looking to yours was 52 baht from Mr DIY

I bought the "Dorco Prime Starter Set" about five years ago thinking I was going to get back into the double-edge. Used it for a few days. I don't think I've ever had a closer shave.

Yes, it's so good no force required, only the weight of the razor

This just popped up on my YT feed.... I'd never thought of using Denim to strop...
