Hi folks, long time no post from me.
Unfortunately, the internship has worn me down quite a bit. I feel mentally drained and barely have time for any hobbies anymore… The work is extremely exhausting and trying to cram a lot into the weekend is not working out too great.
Long story short, the Wilkinson Classic broke and I had to get a replacement at the local drugstore. I went with a Hydro 5, but I feel how it’s rather irritating on my scalp. Even though it’s a nice cartridge razor since the gel reservoir can be easily removed. If there would be a 2-blade cartridge with no lubrication strip/gel stuff I’d be really happy. Something like the BIC disposables, but more eco friendly and reusable…
Hope you’re all well. I certainly look forward to my last week here…
I used to like lube strips, but now they just get in the way of my soap 😀
I use 2 blade carts that technically have lube strips, but they are very “mild” so I didn’t notice it. They’re discontinued I think, but sometimes available on eBay here in the US. Cien-Men is the brand, which I think is a Lidl brand. Maybe you can find some where you are!
Yep, I feel like the lube strips were developed due to the shortcomings of canned foam/gel.
I was able to get a Hydro 3 cartridge pack that’s compatible with the Wilkinson handle, I hope they’ll do the trick. The problem are also the five blades, I guess - way too many for me.
