None taken. It seems like a sensible sort of rule, especially considering that I've already said I suck at shaving and tend to slice myself open regularly. :p

Quick google brought this site up, in case you're interested:
http://www.blademail.co.uk/acatalog/M3Power.html

It's an electric razor, vibrating the blade as you shave. I've found it's excellent. It takes bugger-all time to shave, and it's a lot smoother than using razors.


I very much recommend the M3 Power...I got one years ago and have never switched. Best shave ever, and much faster than anything else I've used.

I generally shave my neck beard only when I am going somewhere, like dinner with the in-laws or something. ;) I hate shaving, especially in summer here. I get razor rash something fierce from the damned humidity whenever I shave.

do you shave? i do.
How often? sometimes every day, usually during the week. sometimes every other day. at weekends i tend to leave it.
How do you shave? standing in front of a mirror. don't bother with shaving foam cos i have pretty thick skin. sometimes it goes a little red, but very rarely gets sore, and i think i've cut myself maybe twice in years of shaving.
with what? quattro - four blades. i find it more comfortable than disposable razors. never used an electric razor
WHAT do you shave? face, neck, save the goatee and sideburns. occasionally the crotch area when its starting to get forresty down there and the g/f is getting less likely to give BJs. i'd shave my whole body (and anyone else's) if it meant getting bjs ;)

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?


I shave nothing. The last thing I shaved was a bit of my forearm for a tattoo. I do trim my moustache irregularly, just so it doesn't scratch my wife. Aside from that I don't shave, and plan to never shave.

Edit: I didn't realize I was supposed to use proper form.

Do you shave? Nope.

Do you shave? Indeed I do.
How often? Every day, generally.
How do you shave? With a razor?
WHAT do you shave? Facial hair, and the little bit of neck hair I have.

I shave more or less once a month by beard. My moustaches about once a week - I don't like my moustaches.
I use a safety razor. Never liked the electric ones.

As for body hair, I have so few anyway... Maybe I'm not manly enough. :(

The hair's not terribly long yet, as I did get a buzz back in January. 1st time I'd gotten it cut in a barber shop in years and years, and 1st time w/ a proper English speaking barber in about 18 years.

I'm pretty lucky there, the barber shop across the street from me is run by a former adult student of mine. I get a good hair cut, she gets an English lesson.

I did try to get a shave there, but we both agreed that it didn't go too good.

I shave my legs every other day (unless it's unlikely someone's going to see them, then I'll go a few days), my armpits every few days (maybe twice a week?), and general crotch area when I think it needs a trim.

I shave as little as I can, because it wrecks my skin and I'm lazy. People rarely see my legs so I don't touch them (and when I do I use cream rather than shaving), I don't care about my underarm hair so I don't touch that, and as far as my face goes, I can go without once every 2 days without visible regrowth, which just about gives my skin enough time to recover, but I end up with a little bit of darkness I can't quite get rid of, so I've ended up trying not to be fussed about it.

I shave about once a week. Less if I can get away with it. I'm a lazy fucker, and shaving is more effort than not. Even when I do shave I have an electric razor that does the job in a few minutes. Though its not all that close, so I've had at least a little facial hair for about 5 years now.

I've kept a goatee ever since my last girlfriend told me I looked better with one. I shave my cheeks and neck daily with an electric razor. It takes about half a minute, and I've never understood people who complain that shaving is the worst chore this side of hell. Maybe I'm just blessed with a beard that looks thick but comes off nice and easy. I hate blades though, with the foam, the cuts, the razor bumps, the expensive blades and all that crock. Couple of years ago I got one of those Gillette vibrator thingies as a present, and it's still sitting in a cupboard somewhere unused. In addition I shave my armpits and I keep my pubic region trimmed.

I don't shave particularly often, but when I do I use an electric razor. Luckily my facial hair doesn't grow out very fast.
