Dry or Wet?

Electric or Blade? What Brand?

Aftershave?

I mainly use electric for its convienece. I currently have a shitty norelco that I picked up out of town when my old razor died. I'm going to buy a new one very soon that I can atleast use in the shower. I also get mild razor burn sometimes and have found Cool Face or Kiehls to be the best to get rid of it.

I mi also love to treat myself to a straight razor shave at the barbershop a couple times of the year.

I use my hair clippers every couple of weeks/months for a trim. I hate shaving, and hate having a clean shaven face.

I hate shaving too. I've been working from home a lot lately and probably only shave about once a week if that.

I shave wet with a blade.

I would be interested in trying a straight razor shave by a barber but I haven't yet.

Does anybody like to shave?

I use a blade and usually shave in the shower.

I fucking hate shaving!!!! After more than 19 years in the Navy, not shaving is one of the things I look forward to the most after I retire.

I shave in the shower , just hot water and a razor blade shaver no mirror required or if I'm at the sink I use a straight razor (very close shave) mirror is required ... I shower and shave every day during the week but weekend I don't shave all the time

sometimes I dry shave if we are going out in the evening just to get rid of the stubble look... I like the stubble look but the wife doesn't ....


i hope sideburns come back ..... In style...:)

I get some of the worst razor burn you've ever seen, it's seriously like some biblical shit. I avoid shaving as much as possible.

I hate shaving. Bout a decent Philips norelco that can dry or wet shave. I usually shave on Sunday night and let it go all week. We have a lax dress code so no one cares too much.

I use a beard trimmer every week or so to keep the beard and mustache neat looking. But I shave under my jaw about every other day or so. I use a safety razor. It's always pretty cool to me, because it's the same razor my grandpa used when he was alive.

i started the Dollar shave club a few months ago. THeir shave butter is unreal. So much smoother than regular shaving cream.

Just switched to a multi blade from Gillette. I've always been an electric guy but I'm getting brutal razor burn at the bottom of my neck so I'm going to try this out for a little bit and see how I like it.

Already took me twice as long to shave this morning than usual so that sucks.

Got a Conair "stubble trimmer" over 2 years ago. Life changing.

I can't believe i'm agreeing with you - But i use their blades and their shave butter. It's awesome.

I'm thinking about it. If I had a lot of money, I would get my entire lower half waxed on the regular. Or better yet, laser hair removal.

...fab, with the degenerates on here, you could charge like a pay per view & it wouldn't cost you anything to get it done. Frap-Frap-Frap!

Yeah, hence the rich part. But I hope to do it someday.

I alternate between electric and blade every few years, going to one when I get sick of the other and back again. Shaving's not my thing, but I don't like me with facial hair, so I endure it.

I must be in the minority hear - I love a fresh shave. I shave every morning with a Gillete Senso Excel. It's the same razor type I've been using for 20-25 years. The process of shaving I'm ambivalent about, but I love the feeling of a freshly shaven face. The last time I used an electric was 25 years ago and I don't like the not-as-close feeling it leaves.

I use those blue disposable razors with double blades and the lube strips on a wet face.

I've got a goatee, so I use a cordless trimmer on that from time to time, plus my barber trims my beard and stache when I go in for a hair cut.

I'm a pretty bad ass looking dude for an old guy.....just ask Belly.

more like a heavy body type with a Kenny Rogers looking silver goatee minus the hair and beard ..... Bad ass with a driver in hand... :)
