Hate shaving.
I’ve had a few cut throat’s in Turkey tho & they was excellent.
I just use clippers now.

Trim the old beard every 3 days. I'll also line out my beard at the same time. (no neck beards for me)

Wet shave for me maybe once a week, hate electric shavers, they give me a really bad rash and just don’t seem to do a good enough job.

Another shaving hater here. Haven’t wet shaved for years, use a trimmer twice a week to leave a light stubble. Currently using a Philips Oneblade, excellent bit of kit for £23. Blades are double edged, last about 6 months. Comes with 4 blade covers at different heights, or can be used without a cover for clean shaving.

I have only used electric for years. It began when I started a new job in which I worked morning and evenings and had to look ultra smart. So I always shaved twice a day.
Having a little bit of paper stuck on ones face was not quite the right image.

Tend to wet shave once a week and then let it grow. Hate shaving and if I wet shave for a few days or with a few days space, I tend to bleed and bleed and get shaving rashes.

Wet shave pretty much every morning for me. Manage to do it before I'm properly awake so doesn't add too much time to my routine. Went back to traditional DE blades a while back as the cost of those multi-blade cartridges is insane. Buy feather brand blades from t'internet and they're cheap and last ages. My face doesn't get on with electric face-mowers.

In a quest to find the best home wet shave I bought a Merkur Futur "safety" DE razor a few years ago. After a couple of very nice shaves I took the top of my index finger off with it. It hasn't really seen much action since. It does provide the best shave I've managed at home though!
Since then I've settled on the disposable "Gillette Blue II Slalom Plus" razors as being best for me.

Only ever used an electric....
When I worked in an office I was much more regular with it but in the last 15 years I leave it until it gets annoying - usually the best part of 2 weeks, take the lot off and then start again..

Love a open razor Turkish.

I've got sensitive skin and found most shaving methods cause me issues but my other half got me a Philips Series 7000 shaver and I have to say I love it. Shaves as smooth as a wet shaver but the coating on the shaving heads doesn't irritate my skin. An excellent piece of kit.

Is that one of these? https://www.tesco.com/direct/philip...clid=CPOp3czX59gCFWcw0wodlocCfA&source=others ?
I also have sensitive skin, wet shave every few days, but would love an electric, but everyone I’ve tried has been rubbish.

It's this model

but we payed less than £100 on a special online deal.
The head coating looks the same.

Been a beard wearer for most of my adult life. I used to keep it fairly full when younger and when in the Navy, I use a beard trimmer these days and buzz it down to a number one once a week but trim the edges and neck every day.

Have tried various electric razors but just cannot get on with them.
Wet shave every other day, I like to look rugged on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
