How do you shave?

PeteSB75 · 10-21-2008, 07:50 AM

Use a gilette fusion in the shower. I use head shed first to exfoliate my head and face. use head slick to shave with - great stuff. Shave my head first, then my face. Usually every other day or so. Sometimes, I am scruffy for a few days.

I highly recommend that shave cream. I can use a blade for a month or more now - used to get only 2-3 shaves out of each. That is shaving my head and face, btw.

pre shave with nivea face wash (the tingly micro bead stuff)

Same way without the pre-shave stuff. Love my DE razor, will never ever go back to a multi-blade battery powered new razor. Never had better shaves.

In the shower.

Schick Quatro

Aveeno lotion or the generic drugstore brand. It's been years since I have used anything like shaving cream/gel and would never go back. The lotion works ten times better.

I have the Merkur Classic as well.
Nivea or Prorazo cream (I have some Body Shop stuff to try too)
Low end badger brush
Nutrogena Aftershave balm.

Same here. What blades do you guys use?

Cheap Braun electric. Since I have a Fred Flintstone beard I have to shave before I shower then splash on some lotion when I get out and shave again. I still end up with 5 o'clock shadow by about 11AM. If I try to use a blade it just gets hung up in my stubble and rips me up. I get no lovin' unless my face is smooth so I guess it's all worth it.

Mach 3 (I received in the mail on my 18th birthday...that and a post card from Playboy...the joys of turning 18 here) with shaving cream in the shower.

Mark C · 10-21-2008, 10:35 AM

Gillette Fusion, fresh out of the shower, with hot water. I shave 2-3 times per week (don't mind a little stubble), blades seem to last forever. Can't remember the last time I changed the blade actually.

Gotta try that; although I've been shaving my head for 10 years now and using Edge in the orange can for more than 25 years, and it is still the best I've found.

In the shower, usually exfoliate before or after, depending on what I've done the previous couple days; then use a Gillette Fusion.

No balm because I have oily skin, so I use a toner with 10% glycolic acid...then Acqua di Parma after shave lotion. 'Cause it makes me smell pretty.

OR use a mach 3 with a cheap $ store rippoff of Nivia gel. The trick I have found is to soak your beard with the hottest water possible for as long as you can. Makes a big difference

Shaving is for girly men.
About once or twice a week I'll scrap the my neck with a cheapo bic after a shower. Who needs soap?

Gophernut · 10-21-2008, 06:15 PM

Electric here, and only on days I work.

Studebaker · 10-21-2008, 06:19 PM

Electric. And I always start with the same side of my face. Always.
