I'm lucky enough not to need to shave regularly and when I do its always been a ball ache.
Well not now, wifey bought me for christmas a proper badger hair shaving brush and Mitchells Sheep Fat shaving soap.
Now I wish I had to shave more often, the whole ritual is a delight, I'm getting far better shaves then I was before - which is a double edged sword cos it means I have to shave less.
How have I got to 48 years old without finding out about this.
Anyone else had a similar 'revelation'.
Try not to catch ur nuts with the hair clippers. That shit bleeds quick.
Wait.....
Done that...Originally Posted by FireStorm
..........wrinkly skin DOES get caught.......doh!....
have always used clippers to shave my babyface...
never felt the need to be clean shaven in my life
this has annoyed many people/bosses in the past
I actually lol'd
Big wet shave fan here but just Mach 3 and whatever shaving foam. I got given an electric shaver for Christmas. Just can't seem to get on with it.
I really want a proper shave curt throat etc
I got bored of wet shaving (but when I did, I used a KoS Azor and shaving oil) and gave an electric shaver a go.
Quite impressed with the Phillips thing I bought, does a good job with not a lot of effort.
I use a straight razor (cut throat). Brush and shaving soap. Bit of an oil base. I find cold water works best for me
I got bored of shaving so now I'm rocking a shite beard

X2 on the shite beard haha
Man up, grow a manly beard!
I have a friend who's now 26 and it takes him a week to sprout about 10 hairs on his face. Completely baffles me!
I hate wet shaving, suffer with sensitive skin - come up all rashy after a wet shave. Use the Braun series 3 electric. Well and truly does the trick.
I've actually been considering looking into other forms of hair removal, I find shaving to be a time consuming annoyance so if there was a pain free way I could stop the stubble for a longer period of time, it would suit me fine.
And stop the boss from moaning at me when I haven't shaved...
You could lazer hair removal on your face?
On topic i grow facial hair quickly and hate wet shaving, so i just use a body trimmer which is basically a mini set of hair clippers so i get .2mm of stubble everytime
Gilette Proglide.
Fast and long lasting. No cuts. A bit expensive but good.
I use anything thats to hand when I bother. Usually involves something old and rusty thats been long forgotten in the shower. If it loos sharp I'll use it
Used to be all anal about what razor etc BUT pinched one of the Mrs razors a long time ago and that was a revelation.
Far better shave using lady razors and no razor burn, combine that with shaving oil base and decent gel on top use plenty of water and it's all win in my book.
Multiple blades in a razor are a complete waste of money if you ask me as how many of you only swipe the razor once in every spot ? if you need to do a few passes then your wasting your money on multi blade razors.
Also for cuts i have the sulphur matches that instantly stop the bleed
i usually get one of my "brand new" razors out the packet... then proceed to remove skin from my face coz its not "brand new" at all! the Mrs has got hold of it, shaved her legs, arse, front bum, chin, dog and the carpet with it, then washed it and put it back in the packet!!! but now i'm getting on a bit, i've gone for a goate coz the tash bit tends to hide the extra long nose hair quite well!!!
