For now I use Gillette Sensor Excel three blades for sensitive skin, which gives me a great shave. I'm not paying $10 for a friggin blade with a battery.
Razor blades are expensive, IMO.
Chicks dig beards. Thats why I gave up shaving last summer.
Hear hear!
Frankly, I'd rather shoot like a man... Sorry, Dick, but I'd rather you have shot some MSM reporters than a Good Republican even if he is a lawyer...
I've always thought the safety razor was cool.
But for those of us who use the sisszy man Mach 3s like me, a hint: shave in the shower. I never use shaving cream and never cut myself. A warm hot shower makes me invincible!
Pssst...(ebay)!
Yea, well... apparently my wife didn't get the memo. So no shavee, no lovee. I've been thinking about the straight razor lately - unfortunately I'm a bit too lazy for that. All the ridiculous "37.5 blades" crap is annoying, and yes they're expensive as crap. But it's a quick and easy out.
Maybe old hippy chicks, but most women don't "like" a man to have a beard.
I use single-blade disposables to trim around my beard (cheeks and neck.)
Dry.
Electrics don't get close enough (and yank hairs out of the beard) and twin-blade razors cut too close and these curly wiry whiskers of mine ingrow.
Why anybody would want to spend good money on a plasma-engined twelve blade computerized disposable razor is beyond my understanding.
I've never used a safety razor, but I have used a straight razor, various disposables and even a knife to shave with. My preference would be for a good disposable like the Gillette Mach3. It really is a pretty good razor and the way the blades are set allows stubble to pass through rather than building up between the blades. I got a complementary Schick Quattro but I wasn't particularly impressed with it. The Mach3 did a better job. Five blades is ridiculous. Three blades are probably 2 more than are necessary, but I've never used a good single blade disposable.
Subconsciously they like evidence of functioning gonads. Shaving so close that nothing has grown back by 5pm looks creepy to them.
Hey, I invented the beard!
Still the best. Available here.
But don't leave the razor in the shower. As soon as the wife figures out that your "face razor" is sharper than her "leg razor", guess what your razor gets used on. Nothing quite like unexpectedly hitting your face with a razor that just got done hacking through the hair on a woman's legs.
And once you've accidentally trained her to use your razor instead of hers, it's all over.
Anybody remember the old Saturday Night Live mock commercial about the new three-blade system, "Because you'll believe anything"?
