Most of the time I use an electric razor, but those rare occasions where I for whatever reason I decide to use a blade it's some gel stuff my dad gave me.
 
Day to day, I use an electric, but I have a badger brush and a couple of double edge safety razors for when I want an amazing shave.
 
OMG :eek: I thought that area was strictly wax-only...

Oh hell no. Been there, done that...a few times actually. If you've seen "The 40 Year Old Virgin", it was like that (and you know what scene I'm talking about).

A few minutes a day keeps the hot wax lady away...;)
 
Right now, I'm shaving in the shower without the aid of foam or gel. It's good, but is there a benefit for using gel or foam in the shower?

Mental....image......wax......hair........vag...... :(

Then again, razor blades don't conjure up a better image of the process, I'm afraid. :eek:

I have a mirror in the shower, and I shave there (with gel). It seems like my face stays a lot wetter, and I get a more comfortable shave.

When I end up in a hotel room without my mirror and shave at the sink, it's not nearly as comfortable, even though I'm using the same gel (EDGE).
 
Barbasol in the green can for me as well. I only shave about once a week. Like that scruffy look. Foam works better on longer facial hair, imo.
 
Trimming the bush to make the tree look taller :eek: LOVE IT!
Oh my. I've heard of how some guys feel compelled to do that...

Well I've heard that shaving regularly keeps the itching down or nil... I guess that makes sense since I shave everyday (my face, obv) and there're no adverse side effects.

Then again, waxing doesn't get everything anyway, so then enters the Mean Tweezers Lady. I guess you keep her away too.

Isn't that a little dangerous? I mean, I've heard of posting from the throne room but in the shower?

;)

Gel or foam, they are just trying to cut down the friction and condition the skin. After all, you are essentially cutting up your face, legs, other regions.

I risk life and limb. This shows my dedication to littering these boards. No photos in the photo thread though. ;)


I also avoid unnecessary showering to preserve my spam rate.
 
I can't remember the last time I put a razor to my face. When I did shave everyday I would use the Barbasol.
