Grandalf Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Stop worrying what you look like and grow a long beard. Short trim once a week and an extra ten minutes in bed every day of your life! Nice and warm on the marshes in this winter's weather too.

Guest cookoff013 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 i use a merkur safety razor, if you shop around you can pick up blades as cheap as 29p for a pk of 10, and they are double sided. i have bought 200 or so blades ofthe net for £15. they should last until i`m 50. (i`m 30 now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Gilette Mach3 fusion power turbo gaylord edition and nivea shave gel here - anything else cuts me to pieces! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dempy Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I wet shave, I have used electric, but I thought I could shave in the car the way to work until one day, on the way to an important meeting (after not shaving for four days) I got half way through my face and the bloody battery ran out, I had to stop in Tesco's and buy a razor, run in the toilets and shave before my meeting. Lesson learnt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
955i Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I got sick of shaving rash so now I just use a pair of hair clippers on the lowest setting. Cost around £30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Kelly Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I gave up on electrics years ago when the batteries ran out and the damned thing was stuck to my face. Had to pluck myself to get it off! Bic, soap and badger, only a couple of times a week though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbbingfinger Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I bought an electric shaver a few years ago but it was like sticking a belt sander to my face. Apparently this is normal For the first few times. After two weeks I chucked it away, £150 out of pocket. Now I shave 2-3 times a week with King of Shaves razors and King of Shaves gel. If I shave any more than that my neck goes all rashy. I hate shaving. O and I use gaylord face stuff as well, I think I have nivea at the moment.

hock Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 wet shaves a no go most times with me as I ride a bike so the helmet annoys the **** out of my skin You missed out a trimmer though, I find its much easier not to bother with a full wet or dry shave and stick with the stubble trim it right and it looks smart enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulf Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I use a gillete Fusion once a day dry shave, new head every 2 weeks. Shaving foam gives me rashes were as a dry shave does not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arjimlad Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I mainly use a Remington shaver for speed but at weekends or special events a nice close shave with King of Shaves razor & menthol gel is lovely. I used to get razor burn from wet or electric but not now with KoS and the new Remington. Shame it did not come with a free semi-auto !

Blunderbuss Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Tried electric razors but found they take twice as long, give me a rash and don't give me anywhere near as close a shave. Gillette Mach 3 and cheapo foam, although I sometimes just use soap. I only work a 4 day week, so Friday to Sunday I don't shave. That's a good balance I think, I don't like shaving but don't want a beard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Holliday Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'm glad I didn't spalsh out and impulse buy that shaver I was looking at. And I meant Mach 3 not Mk3 (you can tell I don't buy them). Mind you, the £200 shaver did come with some kind of Nivea "man juice" built in to it but I'll stick to good old H20 for my hydration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballybricken Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I normally just use my head shaver to trim unless I'm Bic'ing my head in that case... Cheapo bics for my head and a wilkinson sword hydro for the beard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
