    Default Avoid This Razor Brand

    I'm getting incredibly crappy shaves with my new vintage "Green Lightning Gashouse" razor. The e-Bay seller I purchased it from said it was shave ready but am thinking that was not true. Also noticed each time I tried using it, I had an overpowering urge to flatulate. I strongly recommend avoiding this razor brand--it's a poor shaver and causes gas.

    I have it on good account those razors are made of space age ceramic materials and are worth several hundred dollars. They are green because of the krypton quenching process they go through.

    I think you are being overly critical. I suspect the "Green Lightning Gashouse" razor is every bit as keen as some of the shave ready razors being sold on Amazon and eBay.

    Could be used to practise stropping, maintaining correct angle whilst shaving for beginners. Every cloud has a silver lining and all that.
