There have been razor reviews in the Chiang Mai forum in the past, talking about the old Schick injector blades.

But what is that?

I am here to pay you back for all the times you read my topics, when you probably shouldn't have,

But could not help yourselves.

You kept reading, so I kept posting.

Is that a good thing?

So I want to thank you all, by recommending something small that may change your life in the mornings:

The Top's Disposable Razors 4 per pack, with pivoting head,

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Twin Blade: 019120 last digits of bar code

Here is the thing, I have been having so much trouble with my Schick and Gillette razors, the plastic disposable ones,

Which I think are worse than pure garbage,

Because they start out too dull, and they quickly get duller,

And you need to exert too much force on the razor, scraping up and down

Up and Down

UP AND DOWN

Your face until you are just about scraped raw,

Something like the scraping the doctor does but to a different gender, if you know what I mean.

And then, all of a sudden, I tried the Top's razors, which are lower in price, I think.

But after many years using the dull ones, I got nicked quite a few times and bled and bled, the first day.

Now, I have learned to just use the very lightest of force, and the razors do glide up and down my face,

And slice off the beard with extremely low effort.

Don't worry, folks, I am not joking here.

After the first day, I was ready to hang up the towel,

But then I realized that I should not use so much force, and scrape back and forth at 3 feet per second, as I normally do with the Schick garbage.

And then I learned what truly wonderful razors these are.

So try a bag of them next time you go to Tops.

And remember to go slow and to use the lightest of touch.

The hair on the upper lip, I spent minutes on with the Schick,

And it still would not come off.

Now with the Tops, the top lip beard is no match for me.

Seriously, I am trying to do you a favor out of the kindness of my heart.

Some of you may think you have stubble like Iron Trees, that palm of Asia that sits low to the ground.

But even this stubble is no match for the Top's razor.

Who actually manufactures these razors, I have no idea.

Just glad they do.

=================

And another thing:

I recently have come to love the color purple.

not the Whoopi G film,

But the actual color.

So if you want some simple soap that smells nice,

Try the purple Parrot Gold.

I love it because it leaves my skin smelling kissing soft and

I enjoy getting clean twice a day since coming to Thailand.

Have fun with your razors, and the soap that I use in place of shaving creme, which I am too cheap to buy.

Let me here know how you enjoy you mornings before the mirrors.

Tks.

Thanks for that - a helpful and positive post that should make life in Thailand that little bit easier for all of us

The best disposable razor by far is the Shavy 4 blade from Tesco. They cost around 90 baht for two and stay sharp for a few weeks.

I have heavy facial hair but I don't need to hone (run the razor twenty times each way across denim or a cotton shirt) the blades for at least the first three weeks.

There's plenty of decent razors out there that aren't made by Gillette. The Fusion refills have a 4000% mark up on them.

Last time I shaved with 'another brand' I was stopped by the police

"Who did that, to you, son?"

Thanks for the tips on both the TOPS & TESCO Razors.

I had been using the Gillette Mk3. Pretty expensive and not much life, so moved to the less expensive Blue type Packs, some were okay others were like using a Stump-Jump Plough.

Gave up using an electric shaver here about 7 years ago, think with the humidity and extra dampness on my skin it caused the space between the blades to just Clog-up every time I used the thing.

It would have been even better in NYC, rather than Thailand.

Here, pretty much all mornings are relatively easy.

But AMs in the beginnings of January, in NYC,

Can you imagine getting up in the freezing north, and then scraping your skin with a Schick?

Even in Thailand, this is no place for the Gillette or Schick, I believe.

This I will DEFINITELY try.

I stopped going to Texaco years ago, though.
