Poll: How do you shave?

[brubobaggins]

So I had a friend ask me how I shave and I always shave with a razor blade. He said that he used an electric razor and his older brother waxes (which I don't know if that counts as shaving). So, how do you guys shave, or do you?

Your friend's brother waxes his face??? Why would you even... that would hurt so much.

Oh and I use a small electric trimmer, I look better with stubble.

Three-blade gilette razor with vibration. I start going with the grain, then against it. Usually works.

*Put on classic shaving cream with brush and soap.*
*Heats a razor blade with water.*
*Shaves whatever part of my face first, sometimes lip, sometimes cheek.*
*Opts for taking aftershave, will not do so and take balm for the sensitive skin instead.*

*Get five O'clock shadow the very same day.*

*Skip a day of shaving*
*repeat*

With a chain saw [http://sodemotivational.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/so-demotivational-posters-real-men.jpg]. Like a man!

dammit ninja'd by the second thread

With a Venus razor, I'm too scared to wax.
Hair removal cream works pretty well too.

Ever considered an epilator?

OT: Depends, 'cos if it's just for work/mundane going out, I'll use a razor and give myself a once over. If for a formal occasion (or equivalent), out comes straight razor and I'll be primping myself for half an hour...(!)

This seems fitting for this discussion.

I use an electric hair clipper to trim the beard and to remove excessive hair. I usually do the same with my haircut on the same day, so I go from pretty hairy to everything done to the millimeter.

Razor in the shower.

Mirrors are for the weak. I shave by feel.

What that guy said sums up my shaving experience.

 

[tombman888]

With a razor.

And now it look like its time to shave again.

 

[I Have No Idea]

I shave with a razor. No shaving cream though, just soap (shaving cream gives me a huge acne breakout).

 

[Woeps]

I shave with the sharp puns and one-liner?s that I find in films/games and community boards.. I mean that?s the only thing their good for..

On topic:
I shave one a month and (like having a beard on my chin) and I shave with a razor.

Wat.

Waxes? His chin/cheeks? For real? Doesnt that hurt like a MOTHERF!...or does he just have the sadest beard growth since the dawn of time? Or...maybe he's just tuff as a toenail.

I use a Straight razor, more preciscely a Bismark, MADE FROM SUPERIOR GERMAN STEEL! I think it needs to be honed though, there's only so much you can do with a strop

 

[TITAN59650]

old school, with a blade
it just feels... cleaner. also, it's a nice ritual, as you get the best results when you take some time to properly prepare the shaving foam, put in on with a brush, wait for it to soak the hair, and then, well, you go ahead and shave.
it's especially relaxing when the day was quite stressful; it's like a small "island of peace"

I also shave with a straight razor, best shave ever.

 

[maddness666]

If I shaved. Where would I keep my spare food?

 

[Frank Reading]

I use a katana.
Ok, i use a shick quattro with titanium blades and gillete foaming gel. Quattros are excellent, when I shave against the grain, there is no trace of stubble at all. I would like to try using just a razor blade, it seems pretty badass. But it's not that big of a deal at age 14.

 

[Sam Warrior]

Electric if I'm in a hurry, single bladed razor if I want a really good shave.

 

[Frank Reading]

Oh, also, you can make disposable razor blades last much longer by rubbing them backwards on jeans which hones the imperfections out of the blade.

You can wax... your face? Or is his older brother a cyclist / male prostitute?

Razor, the electric technology isn't sophisticated enough yet, it may never be.

I use an electric razor. I should be using it every day, but I tend to forget, so it's more like when I get around to it.

Electric doesn't exactly get everything in one go, but I'm honestly too lazy to go through the whole ritual of regular razors. And waxing would hurt way too much.
