Poll: How do you shave?

[SovietPanda]

Shave with a quality razor, though once i shaved with my kitchen knife just to prove how well honed i keep the edge

 

[PaganFury]

As little as possible.

*Stokes beard thusly*

With a razor when i absolutely have to.

I use a razor. Electric shavers are the absolute worst!!!!!! Every one I have ever used (even very expensive ones) are complete shit. They leave your skin raw and don't shave close at all.

You can get much closer and have much smoother skin with a normal razor and it also doesn't leave your skin a raw and gross.

Razor all the way.

You can also remove hair chemically though it makes your face stink of farts... somehow

That's because thioglycolic acid [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thioglycolic_acid], a popular hair-remover ingredient, has a hydrogen/sulfur group hanging off one end of the molecule that makes it smell.

Depends where and how bothered I can be. Usually with a razor but sometimes hair removal followed by a razor!

One of these.

With proraso shaving cream and a badger bristle brush.

No, actually. I just looked them up, never heard that name before. I'd heard such a device existed alright. It looks kind of scary.

I shave with a razor, I used to shave with an electric razors but it was very uncomfortable and it didn't get as close as the razor.

Edit: triple post? I never thought I would do that I am very sorry members of the escapist.

For a guy, they're... well, ick, 'cos I had one run up my calf and... let's not go there, eh?

But no, use it regularly and it's better than waxing (experience from two sisters and an ex talking, in case you're suspicious).

One of these bad boys. The blades are considerably cheaper than those Mass Effect-looking things that Gillette releases every year or so, and they offer a cleaner shave once you get past the inevitable facial-laceration phase.
Thinking of getting some kind of body hair trimmer as well for the underarms and so forth, because putting that thing in obscure places is a recipe for disaster. And hair is like a little house for sweat and microbes.

I'm not so sure, you're starting to sound like you sell them!

 

[thylasos]

When I was shavingmy whole face, I'd use an electric, but now, since I've got an unorthodox beard shape, I use a razor for the precision and closeness of cut.

Warm water on, shave, cold water on. That's it.

 

[ace_of_something]

With great damn skill.

I often use an electric razor because my hair is pretty fine so I can get away with it. For close "i'm about to be in a wedding party photo" shaves a standard razor must be used.

I would never ever wax my face that would be horrible.

 

[SckizoBoy]

I'm not so sure, you're starting to sound like you sell them!

In that case, would you like me to demonstrate one on you?! =P

/creepiness

*meh* 'Reassurance from being scary' a little too far?! You shave, others don't... *shrug*

So I had a friend ask me how I shave and I always shave with a razor blade. He said that he used an electric razor and his older brother waxes (which I don't know if that counts as shaving). So, how do you guys shave, or do you?

Where is the "Other" option?

What about laser hair removal? You can also remove hair chemically though it makes your face stink of farts... somehow

Never thought about laser hair removal. I always forget that people can get that done.

You can wax... your face? Or is his older brother a cyclist / male prostitute?

Razor, the electric technology isn't sophisticated enough yet, it may never be.

I think he's a cyclist but I don't know. All I know is that once a month, he goes and gets a waxing done. Just a bit odd.

 

[NinjaRabies]

Straight razor. I shit you not. I'm pretty good with it too. I love doing it, sometimes I cut the stubble as soon as it appears, other times I save it up for a good ol' shave. If it was still a profitable market, I would shave people for a living.
