I'm looking at the 180 or the 178, not sure what the big differences are.

Where's Buster the shaving pro?

I'll second Matty on that one, I'm gonna order a year's supply for the double edged razor off Amazon tonight. My Fusion blade is already dull and even though I'm happy with them there's no way I'll pay 12 bucks for another 4 pack of blades again.

Re: F...Shaving

I had a horribly traumatic experience in boot camp regarding shaving and I have royally hated shaving every day since then.

Re: F...Shaving

Last year for my birthday, my wife got me a pretty fancy shaving kit-what with the pre-shave oil and badger brush.

Loving it!

I love the fusion too, except when it comes to buying the blades.

Re: F...Shaving

Great selection for the razor!

Try out plenty of blades before blaming the razor for disappointing shaves though!

I prefer shaving soap to cream. Col. Conk is my favorite brand. Using Bay Rum right now...Almond is another favorite of mine. I also have some Lime and Amber I have yet to try. Reasonably-priced, but great performing brand.

Shaving Soaps



When I travel or am in a rush, I'll use C.O. Bigelow shave cream from Bath and Body Works. Stuff has a great menthol (COLD) kick.
