How? Razor and cream, usually do most of it against the grain.
How often? Every two days, no point in doing it after only one day for me at this time, after two days it becomes reasonable to shave for me again.

Though I occasionally cut myself be accident shaving, I honestly don't mind it, feel kind of refreshed when I am done :P.

Also, much like cell phones or laptop adaptors, each damn razor fits in a different way so they not inter-changeable,

Shaving in general in such a pain that I feel it equals out periods and pregnancy, huzzah for the male population!

You like nice smooth legs? We gots to shave too -- or burn the hair off with depilatories which often leave you with curly, nasty, stretchy hairs you gotta rip out by hand....

Or waxing. *shudder*

Shaving's the easiest and fastest way -- so no, doesn't really cancel out period and pregnancy. ED and prostrate exams cancel those out. ;)

DON'T try that Nad's cold gel you slop on, rub a muslin strip over, and yank off. I ripped off skin, too, and bled like a pig.

I was forced to "shave" when I had nothing but peach fuzz: I was 14, in a military academy. Then I got out, and decided I never had to do that again, so I never have. I do trim it once every few weeks.

Yes, having to shave your face is clearly much, much worse than having to shave your LEGS. Which are a little bigger than your face, and have even more weird angles to help you slice yourself open. :p

I shave every second day. I shave my legs, under my arms and my bikini line. I use the quattro because it shaves closer and is less likely to cut me (don't ask me why)

My husband also used the quattro but his is blue/green and mine is pink, I suppose that makes mine more "girly" but whatever, the same refills fit in both, this way we don't get them confused.....

He likes the aftershave balm stuff I buy him from Neutrogena it helps with some of the irritation from the blade. He has to shave every day though because he gets a 5 o'clock shadow about noon, most work days he shaves twice.

Why can't you use the electric razor in the rainy season? Aren't you usually inside when you shave?

Says you. I'd MUCH rather have nice long, slightly curved surfaces to shave as opposed to that damn cleft under my jaw that never gets smooth no mater how many times I run a razor over it in multiple directions.
