Anyone ever tried using two de blades in any of the de razors you got?

I was thinking of cutting a spare de blade to act as the insert in between two de blades, bit like the insert you put in between the saiver 2.0 de razor (number 3 in the pic and look at the vid below to understand what I mean)

grabbed this from savers for like £3,
basically a shave towel, thought I'd rab it and try it out next shave, not quite sure how to describe the material, it's spongy but reminds me of bit like a mouse mat lool

I use a sponge to wipe a straight.

I picked up a green coloured synthetic camping towel that was thin like that and came in a vinyl pouch about 45 years ago. IIRC they soak up a surprising amount of water, wring them out and keep going. It should work well for you.

anyone got a 360 mirror? thinking about getting it because sometimes i have to ask the mrs if ive missed a bit etc
loads of peple who cut their own hair seem to have been buying these especially since covid kicked in and a lot fo the barbers were closed

the ones im looking at have led lights hich charge through usb c, so your mobile phone charger,
obviously theres some without the led which are cheaper but i think the led will be very handy feature

these are a couple im eyeing up, anyone got one or any suggestions? any help would be appreciate thanks saj

What do you need them for? If it's drying your brushes, save your money. They dry fine stood on their handle.

Agreed! One of the weirdest myths in this hobby is that you need to hang a brush upside down. You really don’t have to, water evaporates gradually as it hits the air. Your brushes will dry perfectly fine no matter which way up they are.

This. If you want a stand fine, but they don't really serve any practical purpose and your brush will dry just fine standing up.
