Rickitycrate 10 Posted August 30, 2009 Hey guys, I'm dang tired of shaving. I've been shaving once a day with an electric. So anyway I got to thinking that if I shaved twice a day it would be easier although it sounds like it would take more time. I tried it today and that second shave went very fast and easy, not the usual chore. Experience, thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverbolt 104 Posted August 30, 2009 Allways the best Choice eh, J/k i don't have facial hair :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FastCargo 412 Posted August 30, 2009 I've never been satisfied with an electric, it never seems to get close enough compared to a blade. I can usually get away with once a day. Downside of course is that you need to refill your supplies (blades and shaving cream) fairly regularly. FC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can hardly see my own darn face anymore. I gotta go by feel, hehe. I got the whole setup and use the lather and razor when I'm ambitious. Beard is out of the question for now. Thanks for reply. Silverbolt you don't have facial hair? Wow. You can have mine, hehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emp_Palpatine 501 Posted August 30, 2009 I used electric for long, before I forgot it in Libya when leaving. As I never took the time to buy a new, it's manual blade now. Should be once a day, more often it's once every two days. Will revert to electric as soon as possible, meaning when I think about it in a store. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gr.Viper 131 Posted August 30, 2009 Been using a straight razor since the New Year. Feels great and a one two-pass shave is enough for two days for me. Silverbolt you don't have facial hair? Wow. You can have mine, hehe. You could use a wig! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nesher 628 Posted August 30, 2009 i don't shave (usualy).. i grow it a bit then trim it my skin isn't the best for an everyday shave :| Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firehawkordy 34 Posted August 30, 2009 I no longer shave anymore since I retired out of the Navy. I just go to the barber once a month to have it trimmed up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emp_Palpatine 501 Posted August 30, 2009 i don't shave (usualy).. i grow it a bit then trim it my skin isn't the best for an everyday shave :| So is mine, also because I'm quite heavy handed with the blade and because it's often somewhat thick and tangled. Geez, I should do it daily since I'm 15! You should try electric razors. They usually they won't do to your skin the things the blade will. But it's indeed far less tidy... Wouldn't us all be so happy if beards and moustaches just like in mid-19th century suddenly become sooooo fashionnable? I personnaly choose the Longstreet cut!

JediMaster 451 Posted August 31, 2009 I've used an electric daily since I was 17. If I try and go more than about 30 hrs without shaving, though, the razor starts to choke on it around my chin. My facial hair grows way to fast and thick for my convenience. I know a guy who only shaves every other day and even then he has less on day 2 than I have after less than 24 hrs! Dammit...

I hear you brother. And I'm tired of work involved just to have to do it again. I've shaved twice a day now for 2 days and so far it takes less time and less pulling. So if I can make it habit I will do 2 a day. If it weren't for my wife I'ld grow the beard. I got enough hair, my nephew said I was furry like a squirrel. And yet somehow with all that hair... I'm bald. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TX3RN0BILL 3 Posted August 31, 2009 I was offered an electric when I started shaving so I used that until my beard was so strong it damaged the protective grill of the electric blades, and my godfather told me how to use a blade - and I never looked back since. Thankfully I only have to shave about once a week (no nazi policies about having a little facial hair where I work), but if I leave it untended it really grows strong - and when it does you can just about forget using electric, it would be like using a scissor to mow the lawn... I started off with Wilkinson but went over to Gilette, Mach 3... Once a week does it for me, unless I'm on a holiday with my girl, then ofc I shave like once every 2 days...

Emp_Palpatine 501 Posted August 31, 2009 I see... Your case is indeed most severe! Perhaps your razor isn't the best quality you should have. You can also try to take some advices in pharmacy, they might have some things easing the skin after or before shaving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
