Shaving

Post by Lighthawk »

I'm an electric guy myself, always found it easier. It does help that I have light and thin facial hair, so it's easy enough for an electric to get everything. I also like the electric cause it lets me do most of my shaving on my way to work, saves me some time in the bathroom that way.

Lately, I use my Mach 3, but usually, I just give it a trim.

Schick Quatro myself. I've tried an electric razor before, and it really doesn't do anything for me. I still feel a manual razor gets closer.

Hey, I have two hands and I only need one of them to drive, might as well do something with the other.

I use a multi-razor, not out of any particular desire, it's what my dad used and so it's what I picked up.

Although right now I'm about halfway through No-Shave November, so I'm not using anything :mrgreen:

That's how I got started using electrics.

I use electric... mostly because I can't stand the sensation of shaving cream.

I've done that before; however I get a closer shave with shaving cream, and I don't nick myself as much.

I only use disposable ones because I'm a tight bastard who wont pay for expensive ones. To compensate for less then stellar shave, I do what my father specifically told me not to (but did anyway) and use the age old RN method of simply shaving backwards and shaving very very hard. Hurts when you catch the inevitable spot (slowly getting rid of them, still the occasional one).
