For A Close Shave, What Do You Use?

I expect one or two of you men here occasionally shave (Bar Whatty). If so, what do you use, are you an electric razor guy or a wet shaver?

I am a 5 blade wet shaver. I just buy those blister pack, 5 times 5 blade shaver heads plus a shaver. They are often cheaper than buying addon blades,

I have tried the two main brands, Gillette and Schick. Interestingly enough, Schick puts Gillette to shame. I can get about 5 good shaves out of a Gillette one, but the Schick does around 8-9 before it starts going blunt. Plus, the Schick shaving gel is much better than the Gillette one in preparing your skin for a smooth shave. I don't shave every day which makes the results better.

What's your shaving way and products of choice? Do you use pre electric liquid if an electric shave user?

  • All I know is, nuthin' beats pluckin' hair from outta the follicles like waxin' -- but I would wanna do that for legs only.

    Any furthah up is way too sensitive for Moi. I would flap.

    But it ain't too easy gettin' waxed rn cos plenty stylin' gals got FEAR of JOIM an' won't touch legs or hobbits, an' rippin' away at yuh own flesh with no waxin' strip ain't too sweet if'n you got zero eye for geometry.

    (nowt to self ... rip longways*, yeah -- less'n you wanna bleed for a week like sum kinda weirdo martyr of exotica)

    Don't touch muh fanj much bcs ima arboreal steada pernickety conjurial, but I bend this rule for pits bcs my intrinsic marketin' DNA says you gotta TARGIT.

    Brows, I pluck manyool.

    Lashes, I let happen ... bcs they natchril fronds about my smoochieholes, an' I don't wanna ruin 'em with no venoosian metaphors like ... plaaahstic flytrap.

    I like to use a double-edge razor, a marble lather bowl and a boar's hair brush to apply the lather. My shaves are so much better than when I was using the conventional disposable razors made by companies like Schick and Gillette etc.
