Shaving

[Captainron]

I hate shaving! I haven't had a wet shave in over 10 years. With my follically challenged head, I have taken to shaving both my head and beard with the guard off on my Braun Hair Clippers every 2 weeks or so. Never get a rash or ingrown hairs like I used to. I like to kid myself and say the I look a bit more rugged too. Luckily I don't have to shave for work either. Loads of mates shave, every morning and it adds time to their routine so I have saved myself weeks in lost time too.

I think I must have saved a fair old whack aswell because razors, blades, foam and all the other crap associated with wet shaving is mega expensive. There are relentless ads on TV about the most comfortable shave etc and I just got to thinking what a waste of time and money shaving actually is.

Who wet shaves these days?

yes

I wet shaved last week for the first time in years, as I'd left my Braun charger at home. Timewise there's not much in it but I tend to suffer too much blood loss with wet shaving.

Wet shave every morning, without exception. Skin like a rhino!

Wet shave in the shower, never a problem, but the blades are a tad pricey

Me, every night after my shower.
If I showered and shaved in the morning I'd either drown or cut my own throat!

Wet shave every day with a Bic razor, cheapskate I know.

Haven't wet shaved for years. I look like a giant baby when clean shaven. Just use a set of clippers with no guard and do my entire head. Takes 5 minutes once a week 👍👍

Wet shave a couple of times a week. Could be tempted by an electric razor though.

Get mine from here https://beardedcolonel.co.uk they're brilliant. They send them every few weeks.

Bought a good electric razor for Xmas many years ago (about 10). Still going strong but I do forget every now and again. Wet shave about once a week on a Sunday morning.

I use the same blades and think they’re as good as Gillette but for a fraction of the price

Wet shave with my gilette every day in the shower. Takes about 30 seconds.

Skin is smooth as you like.

Only wet shave for special occasions as I get a bad shaving rash on my neck afterwards for a couple of days. I did have a proper shave in Turkey by a bloke with a cut throat, don't know what he did/used but no rash at all.

Shaving's like decorating mate, it's 90% preparation.

If I want a shaving rash, I'll electric shave (and it doesn't't feel like I've had a shave :lol. Wet shave every time for me, I've got a multi blade for when I'm short of time, otherwise it's a single blade in an old style safety razor. Tempted to learn how to use a cut throat but concerned it will get very messy.....

Wet shave everyday, another bearded colonel advocate. Mind you, if i leave it for more than two days, BC blades are useless at clearing longer fuzz.

 

[MegaSteve]

Seven o'clock shadow look, for me, for past fifty years or so...

Tried the full beard look a couple of times but herself wasn't enamoured...
Trimmer two or three times a week...

Don't think I'd be asked wet shaving regular...

I had a cut throat shave once when on holiday in Turkey. Wasn't that impressed to be honest. I get a better shave with Gillette Blue 2 blades.
I was even less impressed when he set my ears on fire to get rid of the ear hair!

Hate shaving. Used to be a mach 3/5 shaver but used to look like Edward Scissorhands with blunt scissorhands had shaved me so changed to an electric shaver which is so much easier but takes about the same time. Suffer occasionally with ingrowing hair but bought some liquid to put on which is pretty good (ingrown I think its called).

Only wet shave, I had a Remington dry shaver thingy once upon a time years and years ago but it used to pull the stubble out, just never got on with it.
