I hate it.

How often do you shave?

What razor do you use, if any?

Electric or manual?

Post / After shave routine?


The amount of mach 3 blades I go through is stupid. I was thinking about them blades they use in barbers, would they be any good for shaving my head with? I usually shave it with a mach 3 every couple of days for that silky smooth, extra shiney finish but they cost a fortune.

I also just ran out of shaving foam and shaved my entiree head / face without any, not a pleasant feeling.

I use my head clippers on my face (grade 2 beard and head, grade 1 tash) every 3/4 weeks...

Haven't shaved with a blade in years Thumbs Up .

I've also never once paid for a haircut, but that is another story Mr. Green .

Finally, a thread about grooming binge won't be able to post in for another few years Laughing

Blade 1 all over on the head, clean shave on the face with a razor, spray of aftershave and slap my face and scream like the kid from Home Alone, you know, for funsies.

Then I return to my room and comment on how it's luxurious - and spacious!

Thumbs Up How's that for a slice of fried gold?

I'm 25 and never really hit puberty as far as the face is concerned.

Quick whip around with an electric razor about once a week, woo Dance!

+1

I only grow sideburns, after a week they start to look a bit stupid.

No post shave routine. Just use an electric shaver.

Depends. Usually once every 2 days with electric shaver. Occasionally will do a wet shave with my Gillette fusion but the blades are so expensive this is a rare occurrence.

lol, foam from soap and water can be used if you've got no shaving foam or you can shave when having a shower.

Every day with a bic single blade. Grows to fast and thick to be cut by anything else. Electric razors sometimes work, but they all putter out on me after a few weeks, even the expensive ones.

Would that be any good for shaving your entire head?

I've done it in the past and soap irritates my head if I use it to shave with. Has to be foam or gel otherwise you get these wierd spine tingling sensations when you pull it down over a chunk of thick hair, it goes through me.

Twice a week i have to use tesco own brand 2 blade razors as anything else blunts in seconds.
The mach series and all them 3-4 blade razors are no use they blunt in seconds and rip the hairs out rather than cut them its agonising.

If i dont shave at least twice even the tescos struggle.
I hate my beard its like wire i can shine metal with it like a wire brush and stop bullets HAHA Mr. Green

Daily with a Gilette Fusion Power thing.

I have a goatee, so use some Babyliss thing where you can adjust the height of the blade.

Works a treat. Thumbs Up.

Everyday with a Morrison's own brand twin blade disposable. I use each one for a month before replacing it and use soap not foam.
I am a pikey.

Gillette fusion. changed the blade twice now over the year. don't know how you go through so many blades. i think i have got quite rough hair and the blades don't seem to get blunt that quick. i shave in the shower with soap so there is plenty of lubrication. without decent lubrication the razor can actually just stick to my face (like velcro).

Electric razor every 2 days ish, only takes 1 minutes, much quicker than wet shave and if you spend a good amount on an electric shaver then you get almost as close a shave.

Also good if you have sensitive skin like myself.

You can but you have to wear a beard net, what all the muslims do as a lot of them can't shave. You look like a bit of a pratt though if you don't have a proper beard.

I just use an electric shaver and leave stubble, shave every other day. Longest i've left it is 2 weeks and it drives me crazy so I just can't stick with it.

I usually shave in the bath, it makes a mess but just rinse it out with the shower when done. I hate it, such a boring task to do every couplle of days but if I let my facial hair and head hair grow, I feel like a tramp.

Nothing beats the feeling of a freshly shaved head/face.
