Poll: How do you shave?

[Zakarath]

Electric, every couple months or so. I keep a beard that I tend to cut down a couple weeks after it reaches caveman status.

FIRE!!!!!!
I burn it off!
Actually, I don't have enough to shave yet.

 

[halfeclipse]

Shaving soap, Badger hair brush and a Straight Razor. Like a real man

 

[DarkhoIlow]

I use a Gilette Mach 3 and Gilette soft shaving cream when I shave.

I don't always shave.

But when I do, I prefer a razor.

Regular razor, if I'm feeling fancy I'll go and get a straight shave (they're awesome btw). When I got here I thought it was going to be a back-to-front or front-to-back thread and I actually wanted to know that... Oh well.

Electric - it's just easy and quick. Means it's weekly and you get bits of irritation/spots though

No wonder he has such a smooth complexiton...

I don't shave too often, so I haven't bothered to buy a proper razor or machine.
I just use some razor blades that I have lying around.
This kind:

I don't use any handle or anything; I just hold it in my hand.
I don't use any shaving cream or gel either.

My sister did just get me one of those Gilette fusion vibrating razor things for my birthday yesterday though, so I guess I'll be using that now.

I might buy a straight razor at some point though.

I shave with a straight razor, badger hair brush and shaving soap.

I also use mustache wax in order to get a really good handlebar.

At the moment, I'm using a disposable straight razor, because I need to get my regular straight razor professionally sharpened.

Anyhow, straight razor gives me the best shave, reduces razor bumps, and is a *lot* cheaper in the long run that safety razors. It also allows me precision for my facial hair and sideburns...which are sort of detailed.

^I got one of those^
...as an advertising-promotional-gift-thing on my 18th birthday, back when they were a brand new thing. I still use the very same handle, it's been to 8 countries and back with me in the last 12 years.

...if I'm taking off a long beard, though, I take it down to a manageable level with a beard trimmer first.

Why is there no "other" i use a scrubbing stone on my face, the scars prevent hair follicles from growing through

 

[Powereaver]

either at the hairdressers when im feeling lazy, or with a standard Mach 3 razor.. i hate electrics razors since i have a thickish beard it just tends to pull and yank at hairs instead of cutting

I don't usually shave, but when I do, its with a blade. I don't like the idea of putting moving blades against your skin and i realise i can't kill you, but i still don't like it
