Shaving

[Funkstar]

So...For a 'growing lad' like me who hates having to shave approx every 2 weeks,

You lucky, lucky, lucky barsteward!

I wish I din't have to shave as much as I do. Three days and I look a complete scruff.

Shaving regularly wont make it grow faster, generally it grows about 0.5mm/day IIRC.

mach 3 with king of the hill shaving gel?

The best a man can get! and some women but dont use after the missus has borrowed it or your likely to cut your head off!


Higgs...Out!

I use an electric razor, mainly because I'm lazy and it's easier Also, I only regularly shave my upper lip, and just trim the rest every week or so. Means my time for shaving in the morning is about 30 seconds.

electric here, have been for years and years.

It's NOT as smooth as a good wet shave, BUT it's more convenient cos when I wet shave, I bleed. A lot.

My throat has a lot of "bobbles" on and the wet razor just takes the tops off. Which is just wrong.

My trusty Braun Activator has served me well for the past few years - no razor burn, and it cleans/charges itself ready for the next time.

Beard trimmer ftw

[shadowmaster]

I use an electric shaver and beard trimmer, both depending on what look I want to keep.

I mostly keep a small beard or goatee, but when I go out to formal occasions I normally do a full shave with the electric. If I use a wet blade I'd probably hurt myself.

I'd used a Wilkinson 3D Protector Diamond wet shave razor for years but a coupla weks ago bought this Philips electric shaver from Amazon Link

I paid £46.00 for mine but I notice it's just been reduced by three quid.

Used with the Nivea gel, it's actually really good. Initially it's about as close as a wet shave but I notice my beard grows back quicker than it does after a wet shave.

2 weeks is really really pushing it! I've got Indian heritage, hairy by nature...After about 8 days its bad, but I push it to 2 weeks just a'coz methinks being only 16 and once a week shaving is scary!



.....And so is it a myth that the more you shave the faster it grows? So its just growing faster a'coz I'm older?

^ hmm hmm If I had the spare cash right now, I'd pick one of those up. @ floppy

I have a quattro (had from day of release). A Fusion and Fusio turbo or whatever they call it.

I bought one of these after reading about it on Lifehacker:

(Merkur Safety Razor)

I've never looked back. My other Razors can't match this for feel, closeness or to be blunt coolness.

I recommend going Low-Tech here boys - give it a try!

I intend to, just never get round to it.

[Behemoth]

Electric only for me, if I go manual I end up hacking my face to bits.

[dave87]

Where is the option for both?

I wet shave when I want to look good, use an elevtric shaver when I'm just popping out to the shops - prevent me looking too tramp like lol.
