I use a Gilette fusion...something something something. Hell if I know what it is. But it works great.
I also need to use shaving foam, or my skin immediately goes "bro wtf r u doin" *bleeds in every direction*
Unfortunately, the combination of these things is quite expensive indeed. Fortunately however, it's counterbalanced by how my facial hair grows incredibly slowly and I only need to shave once a week or so. So it's not really that expensive in the end. I only have to buy new blades a couple of times a year.

I have a sensitive face so I use an electric trimmer to shape up my chin strap and an electric razor to smooth the rest of my face.
Funny you made this topic I recently had to break down and buy another electric razor because the batteries died in my other one and I can't find any to replacement, probably because I've had it 5+ years.

I use an electric, but I've always wanted to use a cutthroat because of the badassery associated with it. And when my barber does it, it's the cleanest shave I've ever had.

But I don't shave much, except to get rid of the neckbeardage. You cannot seperate me from my beard.

I use one of the 5 bladed razors but no cream or anything like that, I also don't replace the blade for months. All I need to do is get the blade wet after every three passes or shave in the shower.

an "old" model mach 3, though i use to use the extremely cheap single bladed razors that were entirely disposable, and no i dont really notice a difference from them.

also i think the razor companies are just "going full retard" with their designs and adds, they basically make fun of themselves with the products they desperately need us to buy, a dangerous game

I have a mach 3 gillete razor, got it from my parents. But I use one razor way way more then they advertise. Shaving daily a razor can last you months, just shave during or directly after you shower. You don't even need cream that way unless your super coarse. And every know and again rub the razor across your jeans (tip by cracked.com) against the direction of the blades obviously. It removes the impurities that hurt during shaving.

VICIOUSLY.

Because god damn I can never get it all off.

(also, sporadically. Like maybe when I have a job interview or something.)

Well I have a magnificent and ever changing beard and/or moustache, but to maintain or change the style requires some maintenance so..

I use an electric trimmer with a varierty of attachments to get the length right and in order to just get the length of parts that need removing to a level where the blade won't rip out half my face with the hair.

I use this in tandem with a straight and incredibly sharp blade. Because real men don't fear blades to the throat!
I take safety razors on vacation though, a straight edge wouldn't sit well with customs...

Oh and foam is a scam and my facial hair is like steel wire so a straight up electric shaver is ineffective.

EDIT: Manliest thread since the one I made about moustaches I must say. Good job OP.

The way I shave is a pit too personal for the internet. No not really, I just use an electric one.

I mostly just use a hair trimmer without the attachments. I don't need to be super clean shaven for work. However, I use a razor from time to time and for when the situation calls for it(job interviews mostly).

I received a free electric razor, so when I shave I use that, but I only really shave once every 2-3 months anyway so its not like I really need it.

I use an electric razor. I don't grow that much hair on my face and I prefer to keep my face clean.

I use an electric razor to trim my facial hair to a length that's easier on my razors, then I use one of them there Gillete whatchimajiggers. The throwaway razors tend to get caught on my whiskers and I don't like that. Also, the only store in town that sells razors only sells Gillete razors and the aforementioned throwaways, so I don't have much of a choice in using them. I'd get a straight razor if I could, but whatever.

I don't know what you do with those, I keep the same blade for about half to a full year...
Then your facial hair must be as soft as the hairs on a newborn baby! o_O

Those things start getting dull halfway THROUGH a shave sometimes. I grant you that I have very coarse facial hair, but still.

OT: I use the dinky disposable razors, but I very much want to get a straight edge.

I use an electric trimmer on my 'beard' (I like it at around 1-2mm stubble) but for my neck and cheeks I use one of these:


I classify it as a 'safety razor' because even though it's not disposable it doesn't have vibration control and all that bullshit.

I dunno. Granted, after a few months it starts to slowly become more ripping than cutting and when I finally change blades it's always a surprise how smooth it can cut but overall I honestly don't have many problems. Then again, I treat it very carefully and don't use any kind of shaving cream so possibly there's something to that.

Just a cheap cartridge razor. I'm actually thinking about switching to a real razor though
