Yell and scream and rant and rave / It's no use, you need a

Postby NERVUN » Tue Jul 07, 2009 4:54 pm

Shave! (Thanks Bugs)

Thanks to Japan's rainy season, I'm having to forego using my electric razor and am back to the joys of shaving cream and a safety. I am not a happy camper with this. I dislike shaving even with the electric, the blade even more so. So tell me, NSG, do you shave? How often? How do you shave? WHAT do you shave?

When it starts to look like my pubic hair has migrated to my face I scrape the stuff off with a crappy Asda disposable razor. Feels bad man.

Because thanks to the rainy season, it's so damn humid I don't get a good shave with the eletric. Instead I end up with patches and a 5 o'clock shadow at 6 in the morning.

I hate shaving only slightly less than I hate having a beard. So I shave as rarely as I can get away with without it itching...usually about 4 days. Then it's time to break out the Mach 3 and remember just how much I hate shaving and why. And I usually miss a patch or two.

Used to use an electric, but was never a big fan.

Junk gets a trim every here and again as well.

I've developed a rhythm now where I shave every two to three days, with a cheap, plastic thingy. Any less and I don't get the look I want, any more and it starts turning red. :meh:

I'm going to invest in an electric one when I move out at the end of the year.

I don't shave because I want to grow a goatee.

Daily except on weekends, with a safety razor, no creams or anything like that. I've never seen an effective electric, really.

See, this is why it's not fair. I get in heavy whiskers and even with shaving, I have a 5 o'clock by 11 am, but if I just try to let the damn thing grow out, it doesn't. It just gets to a point where I look like a bum in need of a shave and then stops.

Not to mention the whole issue with wife and her unreasoning dislike of beards.

I shave my armpits every day or two. I shave my legs every day or two if they're likely to be seen by anyone else, and perhaps every few weeks if not.

Mach 3 is decent. I've used Quattros, too, and now there's the Gillette Fusion with five blades.

I don't need it for facial hair... and I have found that more blades = fewer nicks.

I haven't tried more blades, mostly because the razors keep getting more expensive, and Mach 3 is the one that got sent to me on my birthday...might be worth a shot though...

I just don't shave.

If I'm feeling a really bad need to be unfurry, I'll drag the electric razor across and leave stubble. I don't like being clean-shaven, and I don't think it suits my face, so it very rarely happens. I think I did it in 1995.

Yes, I shave. About once a week, or whenever I see my bf. I shave in the shower, with a Gillette Fusion razor. Just my face and upper neck.

I use the Mach 3, I had a sample Gillette Fusion (5 blades) that I used for a while but the replacement blades are pricey and it is little different from the Mach 3 (3 baldes). I started shaving with a single blade shaver and then I discovered 2 bladers which was a big step up and still cheap. Then I got the Mach 3 as a stocking stuffer and I'm hooked on the pricey 3 bladers.

I have a van dyke beard, and I shave about every 2nd day as I don't mind the 5 o'clock shadow on day 2 so much.

Getting older has been interesting, now I have to trim my nose hairs on occassion too, and I'm getting the odd ear hair to. :(

I don't see myself being happy with shaving, but if I'm slightly less miserable, that would be nice.
