Holy DE Razors Batman!

• Hey guys, I just saw that Amazon.com has a fairly large section of DE razors.  I thought I'd let you guys know in case you didn't know that Amazon.com carries such razors.  Here's a link --> DE Razors on Amazon.com <--

• Thanks for the 'heads up', I'll know where to look should I feel the urge.

• I get my DE blades on Amazon. The handles I have I acquired on eBay for nearly half retail price.

• The supplied links are not working for me either, but the good news is they are easy to find on Amazon searching for DE razors.

• Some of the DEs will be great, some not so good.  If you're unsure then please ask around here 👍

• To those curious about DE shaving, I'd highly recommend giving it a go. Snag a razor on eBay then get a sampler pack of blades on Amazon.
  I recommend getting an adjustable razor, as that will give you a more versatile shave experience.

• The links do not work for me either .  Try http://www.amazon.com/Double-Edge-Safety-Razors/lm/R3QN1ZGDLLQ3RX
  
  I used cartridge razors for more than 30 years until last year when I returned to double edged safety razors.  I have bought 7, and use them all in rotation.  The latest is a gold plated Merkur Futur that can be adjusted to give a very aggressive shave if desired.  
  
  Each razor is different and I enjoy all of them, however I probably like the 'slant" razors the best.
  
  Last week I tried using my Gillette Mach3 Turbo again.  What a horrible experience.  It felt rough and certainly did not give me a smooth shave.
  
  If you are thinking that DE shaving will save you money, give your head a shake.  Sure you can buy great blades for less than 10 cents ( I like Astra SP's that I buy for around $8 for 100),  but you will want to try different handles and they can range from $15 to over $100.  Of course once you realize what a pleasure shaving with a DE razor is, you will want to try "wet shaving" that will require at least 1 good brush ( I now own 37, half of which I use in my normal rotation, the others are awaiting restoration). With your brush you will want to try a couple of soaps ( I have 12 that I use in a daily rotation, with another dozen ready to use )
  
  I can hardly afford to save any more money.

• You definitely have BAD there buddy! I managed to avoid that one, I only have maybe 5 or 6.
  
  You're right though, the pleasure of shaving this way makes us want to try different razors, blades, soaps etc.

• the best source for DE razors is flea markets! hunting for vintage razors and restoring them is a blast.

• im at the other end of the scale, I own one, my whole shaving kit cost less than buying 20 fusion pro blades, I bought 200 blades for £6 ....and I get a great shave....let the savings commence!

• Ok, I've fixed the links.
