How do you shave (your face)??

mad jew said:
Weird. It's the same at my local. :(

To get around it, I just head outback and find a nice sharp rock and some platypus faeces for gel, then shave in the reflection of a still billabong thinking dreamily of long lost jumbucks...

just to get that extra special feeling :D



platypus...just the best a man can get!

I'm working the Mach 3 Turbo Vibrating Razor... but I might have to make the bold jump to four blades.... yes, the Schick Quatro

Hehe.

So many blades.... Pretty soon, we might as well just go down to our kitchens, open the knife drawer and rub our faces in it :D

*runs to bathroom* ... ahh, that's the name of the Wilkinson Sword thing I use. The Quattro. Hmm.. Surely that should be an Audi?
 
mad jew said:
Yep. I've asked around and apparently there's a bit of a supply problem at the moment. Has been this way since August. :(

I forget you're out in the colonies, MJ. ;)
 
mad jew said:
Yeah, we keep most of our blades on display on the shelves for easy brandishing in times of hardship.

I'll find that out first-hand soon enough. AlBDamned is down under in February. I'll be able to take a new blade or two...

Coolness. Just don't bring your duck, we don't want mad bird flu. Feel free to give me a yell if you need a Mac Fanboi™ with a beer. :p

Whereabouts are you? The duck will stay in the UK. It's an Indian Running Duck but it doesn't like long flights..
 
with electric..any old way

with razor...downstroke on front and sides, upstroke on any surface under chin which i found out through trial and error that this works for less cuts and irritation

then one day i turn on "queer eye for the straight guy" and kyan, the grooming expert of the show suggests this and i am floored that i do something in the grooming category correctly

my two businesses, or jobs, is to do landscaping/gardening and computer repair and traditionally neither job requires one to dress up or have to pay very close attention to grooming...it's not as if i am a real estate agent or tv news anchor

as for other areas of the body, i don't get into the waxing thing or electrolosis thing and i never would unless i had to, as a model or something...i once saw how andre agassi showed this entertainment show how he has his chest waxed and that looked terribly painful...besides being a tennis player, he has always been a sex symbol and sold many a product...that and having been married to model brooke shields for a time...personally, i would avoid any occupation that required chest waxing ;)

I tend to flitter between Sydney and Adelaide with brief adventures out to Perth.

We'll, I'll be in Sydney from 20-26th feb and maybe for the week after depending on a conference press pass.

Will PM you closer to the time but a beer is a distinct possibility!

Just for yellow :p

You guys are all wimps. I rip rusting beer cans apart, then use the edges to shave, with a pool of mercury from a broken thermometer as my mirror.
:D

hehe.. always fun. I actually just do basically the exact same thing as jsw.

You're the wimp. I use a dull rock, against the grain. I use an old broken beer bottle (preferably clear, usually brown) as a mirror.

:D

Seriously? Disposable razor, in the shower, no mirror. Touch up in the mirror, afterward.

I guess if you use a disposable as just that and throw it after one use, it could be ok. But they always seem to cut me whenever I use one.
 
The question is...

would any man on here get his facial hair treated with a laser so he'd never have to shave again? And admit it.
 
Electrics have never worked very well on my beard, they always irritate the neck area.

I always shower first, to soften up your face, then shave with the grain. Then, splash face with cold water when you're done shaving to close the pores.
 
Tried an electric a long time back, and it sucked. Or maybe I just didn't know what the heck i was doing....
I used a Sensor whatever for years, in the shower, shaving down on the face and up on the neck, with a few extra strokes customized for the weird hairs that grow in unusual directions.
About two years ago I bought a Braun self cleaning electric shaver. They've come a long way in the past 20 years. The instructions said to always shave before a shower, so I tried it that way, then tried using an electric after a shower. They were right. With the electric, I get a much closer shave pre-shower.

While on vacation, I usually rip a strip of aluminum siding off the house and use the edges to shave, while using the surface of the water in the hot tub as a mirror.

Psyche! I never shave on vacation. I'M ON VACATION!!!:p

I usually don't have any trouble, unless they're a week or two old. I do have to be careful if I have to wear a tie for some reason. Then I chafe really badly on my neck if I don't leave a littls stubble in the area.

Hell yeah I would, but it's expensive isn't it?

It'd be even better if it lasted for say... 30 years... then when I'm old I'll let it grow and play santa claus

well i use a mach 3 vibrating thing. i think it is quite good.
Click to expand...

The same here, but I need to change the blade and they are quite costly. So I use my old fashion, non vibrating Mach. +brush+foam+aftershave+creme for dry skin (should I post in the metrosexual thread?)
 
I cheat

I have this electric razor and it has a beard trimmer attachment. I used the razor the regular way once and got cut all over, deciding that I didn't want to do that ever again I popped up the beard trimmer and found that that worked fine for me. I know it doesn't get rid of everything but, it's good enough for me...well at least for now since I don't have to dress up for anything. It basically just keeps me from looking like Chewbacca :)

I also shave in the shower, with no lather or mirror. I get my face wet first thing, then shave at the end - works best for me. Saves time over separate shower/shave, and makes for a cleaner sink.

Me too... the only thing that pisses me off is that without a mirror, I can never get my sideburns even. :mad:
