Same, but, I have no choice, Razors rip my skin to shreds, looks like someone has slit my throat and face. Therefore, I have to use an electric one.AmrasCalmacil said:
You'd be surprised how easy it is not to cut yourself with such a blade. I use one myself (when I don't use a cheap Philips when I'm in a hurry or hung over) and it's really no more difficult then a regular razor. Actually, it's easier: you've got a bigger blade to remove more hair in one go, and more control over the angle. You also won't cut yourself unless you're moving the blade in the wrong direction.Spacelord said:I'd be quite surprised if they WERE legal in the UK. It's infinitely more likely to be used as an instrument of slicey death than an actual clean shave (even when it IS used for shaving). Also, how'd you practice shaving yourself without cutting yourself a new windpipe whenever you have a go?Wadders said:Ahh, if only I did actually shave with one of those. I actually use some boring gillette thing, but one day, I will master the cut throat razor, and become the lord of facial hair removal!Spacelord said:That's fucking AWESOME. By far the manliest way to shave, especially due to the high likelyhood of severe maiming or death. Those things are brutal.Wadders said:Fuck yes.
I, alas, am a pussy. I use those really cheap disposable razor blades. They get the job done well enough, though I can't say it's very stylish. They look just like these [http://www.made-in-china.com/image/2f0j00ovpahNJGALbeM/Twin-Blade-Shaving-Disposable-Razor.jpg], only single-bladed. Screw it I don't have that much beard growth to begin with (sadly enough).
Unless they're illegal in the UK or something, which wouldn't really surprise me...
Such a blade is also almost impossible to use as a weapon. Sure, it's sharp, small and concealable, but it's also very small and breakable. Hit something different then a hair and the blade breaks. Try and injure somebody with it and you find out you've run out of blade long before it's a serious wound.
Sure, if you can sneak up behind somebody, know a thing or two about human anatomy and that person is either paralyzed, tied up or otherwise unable to move, you may slit a throat with a straight razor. Then again, in that unlike combination of circumstances you could probably kill that person with a blunt spoon.
Most of the time I just trim it down to stubble with the 'precision' part of my cheap electric shaver (rather than the bit you use when trying for clean shave). If I'm going clean shaven, I use cheap disposables - usually the green Wilkinson Sword two-blade kind, but Tesco's own brand is fine too.
I rarely shave, so I have some cheapie elctric thing from walmart for when I want my beard shorter.
I use an old-timey safety razor. The kind you can but individual flat blades for.
Works out much cheaper, plus the result is considerably smoother.
