Shaving

[jusme]

Wet shave my head and face every 3/4 days ( excluding wee goatee), trim once a week.
Love a open razor Turkish.

Glad I'm not the only one. I wet shave entire head every other day. I would like to do it less frequent but it cost's in blades more if I leave it to grow longer. I have been wet shaving my head for near 20 years. So used to it I can do it without mirrors or looking. Cut my head maybe 2/3 times in those 20 years

Have not wet shaved in 8 years. The day I left the navy was the last. Think it’s me rebelling against the uniform a little.

Well that and I look terrible with a smooth chin

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
https://www.philips.co.uk/shop/pers...ectric-shaver-with-cleansing-brush/p/S7530_50
but we payed less than £100 on a special online deal.
The head coating looks the same.

I frowned at the reduced price of £115 but £300 😳 your havin a bubble 😜

Also, looking at both of those there showing the use of shaving foam, I thought the idea was to save money on foam etc 🤔

And how long do the blades last in these things, at those costs I hope they never have to be replaced.

Wet shave about once a week on a Sunday morning.

Are you saying there is only 1 Sunday per week??

I agree totally, it's silly money. I was lucky to get it at a third of list. Considering it's on their clearance page do what I did, keep checking back till it's at a sensible price, then look for a code that gives you a bit more off and buy it then. TBH I've found that just shaving with water does a great job, no need for foam, gel etc.
I can't say how long the heads last but compared to the cost of wet blades + foam over a year.
I can only say that, for me, the sub £100 was worth it.

Wet shave for me every day - use king of shaves shaving oil - its the best and do not suffer from rashes etc only the odd ingrowing hair now and again

I wet shave every morning. Proper prep and aftershave balm stops all the cuts and rashes... I wouldn't dream of heading to work without doing so, I'd look too scruffy!

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

Bought one of these a couple of years ago, I wet shave probably couple of times a week and have used the same blade since around March last year. Great purchase

 

[patricks148]

had many electric shavers over the years, none of them all that TBH. used to have to wet shave every day when i worked in the City, but since moving up here and working from home. once maybe twice a week if i'm meeting the board. Wife has got me a Cornerstone for the last two Christmases.

Thats OK, get a better shave than with a standard disposable Though the shave gel is only good for frequent shaves.

I got tired of losing a couple pints of blood and neck rash and moved over to electric around 18 months ago. I've got one of the vacuum jobbies that I've set to 0.5mm and give it a trim once a week, minimum fuss and sexy as hell.

 

[Orikoru]

Also haven't had a proper shave in years. I have a cheap pair of hair clippers, and I only use them about once every 3-4 weeks. I trim it to short stubble, then let it grow to longer stubble, then trim and repeat. Never clean shaven. And I'm not able to grow a full beard anyway, it only ever looks like very long stubble, haha. It just seems to slow right down growing at a certain point.

 

[Stegsie]

Wet shave every other day. Face and head. I am old school and use a brush and shaving soap - so much better than anything else I’ve used.

Never got on with the electric razors; never as close as a real razor.

Occasionally go for a straight razor shave in the local barbers - proper treat that is!

 

[clubchamp98]

Never needed to shave for work so got used to electric razor .
Havnt wet shaved for 25yrs or more now won’t be either.
But have you seen the price of some electric razors now £300+.

 

[Khamelion]

It was a wet shave every morning, but for the past few weeks I've been to lazy, down to a combination of being ill over the Christmas hols and working from home, so letting the beard grow, wor lass hasn't complained either so it can't be all bad.

That’s because she’s had nothing tickle her fancy for years 😜

Wet shave

few months back signed up to "Harrys" subscription service.
Fed up with the prices of Gillette and Wilkinson Sword
But despite all Harrys claims, I found the blades definitely not as sharp, and caused irritation not seen previously - so had to cancel it.

I subscribed to the bearded colonel and while cheaper than Gillette the blades were only good for 1 shave so went back to gillette

Haven’t wet shaved in about 15 years. Had a beard since then. Will trim it to about 4mm once every 3 weeks or so when the other half starts moaning. Wet shaving always used to really irritate my neck so no way I could do it every day.
