Shaving

[Orikoru]

The amount of blokes you see clean shaven these days are few and far between I think. Stubble or beard is pretty much the norm these days. I always used to hate how I looked clean-shaven, like the chin of a baby on an adult's face.

Wet shave everyday, except for weekends when I'm not golfing or trying to look smart.
My facial hair grows very quickly, and is very dark, so I look like a tramp if I don't!

I’m amazed no one has mentioned it. But to those that do wet shave. Get yourself a decent safety razor with decent blades. You’ll save yourself an utter fortune.

Can I suggest you buy new clothes...

The bearded colonel changed their blade design a while ago. They don't clog as much, and I find they give a decent shave. Seem to stay sharp enough for me. Certainly for a number of shaves, similar to Gillette.

Honestly Brian, rather than managing the hipster look of having a trendy amount of growth, I just go full on long & scruffy!

It's not a good look

Thought I had in #15. What blades do you use? Feathers or Personnas (Lab Blues or Medical Prep) for me.

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.

There's a variety of Philips 7000 series, but many of them just vary on the accessories. Shop around; I got mine for less than £70

I stopped wet shaving when I had a job that required me to look very smart at 9 in the morning and 10 in the evening.

bits of paper and slight nicks after shaving twice a day did not quite fit the 'very smart' image the company wanted.

I have shaved electric ever since.

Feather blades with a Merkur 34C. Although I might move to something a little more aggressive.
I got given a brand new 30year old brush by my grandad not long before he passed, that started the safety razor thing for me. (Only use it for lining out)

I wet shave sometimes but also have a Philips Series 5000 razor which is the best electric razor I've ever used. Really smooth on the face and shaves me close.

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.....

Especially after a bad round

Wet shave. I can just about get away with every other day for work, but if I were going anywhere "special" on day two I would have to shave again. Hate electric razors

How do you get into the folds in your weather beaten face? Bet that leathery tanned skin of yours helps keep the cuts to a minimum

The unshaven look doesn't always work........

I wet shave, typically a couple of times a week when my g/f says "You're not coming near me with your jaggy chin!" which basically translates into "Are you feeling horny?"

 

[Bunkermagnet]

Prefer a Braizilian

Ok, use an electric Braun that has the cleaning fluid system. The razor feels new everyday.

Can't believe the timing of this thread

I always wet shave, I have to make a speech a our club AGM tomorrow so I thought I pop in a new blade this morning trying to look my best, oh well they say the ladies like a man with a scar

I wet shave every morning.... use a decent mosituriser/after shave afterwards no problems at all.... Ok, I work in an office environment, but that's changed and the number of blokes turning up without shaving is suprising....

I am quite old school in that I wouldnt go to golf on Saturday morning without shaving either, I'd just feel scruffy.... no idea why, just the way it is!

I understand from nephew number 1, (fresher at Pompey Uni) that the current fashion for beards is on the way out! You heard it here first!
