Blade and wet. I used to use electric and dry til recently, but I really hated it comparatively. I think a wet shave with a proper blade is actually faster.
How do you shave?

I can't find a single thing in that passage to disagree with. I guess it's time to man up!Undercover said:funguy2121 said:
There's a reason why your ex suggested you to trim my friend and it has to do with certain things getting caught in her teeth, capice?
No need to poke fun, women like it when a man takes care of his 'bits.' And YES, do not, I repeat DO NOT use a razor on your pubic hair! YOU WILL REGRET IT. Keep the short & curlies nicely trimmed using either a beard trimmer like your ex suggested, or just a comb and a pair of scissors. If you feel adventurous you CAN use a razor on the ol' twig & berries, just use a LOT of shaving cream/moisturizer/body wash or whatever & remember to moisturize afterwards or you'll be itchy as hell. Just remember, once you do it you're pretty much committed to it, but if your ex is thinking what I think she's thinking, you will be one happy camper, and so will any future girlfriends.
I don't give a damn who knows it, yes I shave my balls.
For those of you that are laughing or even worse thinking "Oh Gross" or "Fag," GROW THE FUCK UP. If you had even the slightest idea how much more oral sex I get because I'm not a freakin' hair farm south of the border, you'd shut your yap. NOW.
When a woman grabs your manhood & its all nice and smooth and hairless, what do you think she wants to do with it, hmm?
I was at a party not too long ago where the subject of this kind of shaving came up, and there was the usual peurile, immature comments from some of the younger guys, but THEY weren't the ones having all the hot single women walking up to them and asking to see THEIR package all night, and they also weren't the ones who got dragged into an upstairs bedroom by two redheads.
And I really don't give a shit who believes me, you don't live my life.
So I say go for it, if you don't like it you can always grow it back, but something tells me this will be a decision with no future regrets. Unless for some reason you don't like getting head, you freak.
I'd need to shave twice a day to be clean-shaven, so I suffic with a beard, which I trim and shape. Otherwise it'd go from just under my eyes down to my chest hair.
Electric razor first, then shower, then wet-shave, just with warm water, then when I'm clean-shaven in the areas I want to be, cold water to close up the pores again.
Once every couple of days.

Man, I need to learn to PARAPHRASE. I just wanted to be perfectly clear that there is absolutely nothing wrong with a little "goodie grooming" for men.
Shaving: Not just for porn stars anymore
Begrudgingly.
I hate shaving. Itchy, stingy, irratating...
Usually wet shave after two weeks of avoiding it, or a quick electric shave after a few days.

The full monty: warm water, pre-shave oil, sandalwood cream, Merkur 1904 razor, after-shave balm - start the day on a high. Single-blade shaving is your heritage fellas, to be passed down from father to son, like learning to tie your laces or polish your shoes; take pride in it.
Straight Razor, Shaving Soap & Brush
Hot towel on the face to open the pores and soften the bristles.
Use the brush to apply the lather from the soap in a mug.
Straight Razor shaving.
Hot towel to remove the last of the soap.
Cold towel to close the pores to lessen the chance of razor bumps.
Old Spice aftershave.
ETA: I tend not to shave on the weekends. And during the week...I do all my teaching two days a week and the other three days are research/writing/meetings...so I generally shave on my teaching days and then maybe one more day a week if I have an important meeting. But note. I'm currently sporting a beard, so I don't have to shave every day. And before I had the beard, I sported a Van Dyke, so I also could avoid shaving every day. If I shave my chin clean, then I'd have to shave every day.

Shaving with a razor every day can be bad for your skin. Fact.
You see, as you know, humans don't have fur because we invented clothing some years ago.
However, how come you don't freeze on your face that much? Because you have a natural, protective layer of fat. Yeah... Grease..
Especially people who live in cold environments like Scandinavia, Russia, Mongolia, Himalaya, Canada..
When you shave with a razor you remove this protective layer.
If you don't care about this, then go ahead and shave with a razor, but it is bad for your skin.
(I think the protective layer also protect against the sun, but I'm not 100% on this one..)
Now for the question at hand.. I don't shave, I sport a full beard with a length of about 10 cm or 4 inches. I trim it every once in a while.

I do traditional wet shaving, and I use a double-edged razor. The hard part was finding the razor itself, since they don't carry them in large stores in the US. I found an old-school Gillette from the 1960s at an antique store.
The best part is that the double-edged blades are far cheaper than razor cartridges (50 cents versus $2.50+ when comparing individual blade cost in a package), and they shave just as well as all the Mach 3/Quattro bullshit they scream about in the commercials.

I did that only once, now I know that the hair that doesn't come off the razor when you run water over it should just remain there. I actually have a scar now xDGreyfox105 said:I use a bladed razor...
Apply water, apply shaving foam, swing blade madly, avoid mustache, complete.
[small]I now have 4 small grooves on my left thumb... hooray for mistakes! Never cut my face while shaving, but I got my thumb
Wet shaved with a razor when I started out. Occationally used foam.
Now I use an electric razor, which I dry shave with. Only need to shave every fifth day or so. Got rather slow growth(I'm still young!) and I prefer having a stub to being smooth.
