Is that because of shaving before a shower or razor burn.

Fuck I hate shaving.

*returns to thread having finished shaving*

Ahhh, tres smooth, I can now stop attempting to light matches off the side of my face... that should keep me covered for another 4 or 5 days... now, if only I could get rid of the feeling that someone's just gone at my face with a pan scourer...

Why before?
Because if you use an electric razor *after* a shower, it will pull up the skin and cause *really nasty* razorburn.. And yes, it hurts. A lot.

Good advice I reckon. Verilon is refering to the fact that no matter how hard you try to dry your face, they'll always be a bit of moisture. And unless you have time to fuck around before shaving to allow the remaining moisture to evaporate, the shaver will pull your moist, wet skin up..and down..up...down..

Shaving unmoisturised skin.
And be thankful you only have to do you face, young man.

o O.. Uhm, okay... [kicks dad for not telling him this stuff]

And besides, if you look at the directions for an electric razor, it tells you not to shave after a shower.. I only know it hurts cos I was on my way to an interview and I forgot to shave beforehand..

However, I've never really had problems with it unless my face was moist (like after a shower). I've not gotten razor burn from not moisturizing my face...

Yes, the part right under the jaw and chin... but as she said.. the only place you *have* to shave is the fae and nexk are... girls, it's legs, mostly, and underarms, sometimes the arms themselves, and even others the genital regions. But that was a thread we've already had, so we'l not go there.

No. The entire neck, not just the central bit.

Would a smart person subject themselves to nicks and cuts? No..

Well, normally I like a little bit of stubble on my face so I only shave every other day when I can get away with it. Which is usually never since I have to shave every day for work. Anyway, let me preface this by saying that I'm a pretty hairy bastard so I know how to put a razor through a workout. I have always used an electric and I find that I've always gotten a smooth shave. The trick, as people have said before, is that while blades work best with a wet face, electrics work best with a dry face. If the hair is wet, the electric has a hard time picking it up and end up irritating the skin. Personally I always shave after my shower but I do save it for the last thing before leaving the bathroom so my face is usually dry by than. The point I can't stress enough is, never buy the type of electric that uses the three circular dealies. They can't cut shit. Always buy the ones with the horizontal screen.

As for blades... The first time I had ever used one was when I went to Cuba. I had brought my razor but never even thought about voltage differences. Needless to say, I found myself unable to use the electric. Not wanting my face to tan around the beard into some skull-like shape, I figured I should give the regular blade a try. All I used was hot water and soap and I didn't cut myself once. Not bad for a first time, I thought

Mach Three all the way, closest most comfortable shave and the blades last about 2 weeks before they get too dull for me. I shower first and right out of the shower shave. I have to shave every day because I get my shadow early in the day and I just think I look sloppy with stubble especially when working in an office.

I don't shave on the weekends or when on vacation because I like to give my skin a rest and its relaxing to not have to worry about shaving for a few days, but frankly its not a pain in the ass. Shaving takes me all of three minutes.

Electric razors are trash, I hate them. I tried three or four different models and they do not shave you as closely as a razor and it simply takes longer. It also makes my face break out in rashes sometimes as well. Nope, a nice cold blade for me.

I bribe the hair on my face off with cold hard cash

I generally leave my chest hairs alone. One ex-gf said that she just loved a haity chest and I haven't met a woman alive that doesn't like a hairy beer gut!

I don't need to shave too often. I have fair hair and skin so i can get away with up to 4 days before i look scruffy. I used a Wilkinson Sword Protector 3D but i never use shaving fome, i just dampen my skin.

I haven't shaved once in my life

Although from the looks of it, its getting around that time...bastard facial hair...

Post by **Sea Skimmer** » 2003-05-13 06:04pm

I shave about every 1.5 days. I just do it in front of the mirror before getting in the shower, I don't need to use cream so the whole process is very quick.

When I need to shave, I just use a Gilette Mach 3. Works pretty good.
