Your shaving habits - Page 2

Alinestra Covelia · May 13, 2003, 12:43

I shave most parts of my body where a limb meets the trunk. I also have to shave my legs maybe once every fortnight or so. For a while I debated whether or not to shave my sideburns but I let them grow out and they were okay. Unlike the rest of my (cranial) hair, my sideburns grow slightly curly. Odd.

I also use guys' razors. I used to use feminine razors until I realized guys' razors were A) pretty much the same, and B) 50% cheaper.

Thank goodness I don't have a moustache. That would be something that I'd almost be too embarrassed to shave off.

I trim my beard/stubble occasionally.

I am very derelict in shaving, I have a beard and mustache, but not a full beard, which means I should shave the cheecks and the neck area, but I don;t like wet shaving (I use excel, not M3), so i don;t do it often, which emans I always look unshaven, unless I get sick of the look and finally shave.

The problem is, my facial hair grows extremely fast, so I end up shaving once a week at least.

as for shaving anywhere else on the body..no. I may look like a bear, but I have no intentions of shaving elsewhere.

GePap, you MUST get Mach 3. It's great.

loinburger · May 13, 2003, 14:17

I've tried to get in the habit of shaving more often, in order to look younger, but not-shaving is a tough habit to break. I wind up shaving at least once a week regardless, because the itch becomes unbearable if I wait any longer.

I use mach3 + wet shave for a few months now, and I advise it to everybody. Before, I used bics without watering, and my shaving was crappy and hurting.

I shave my face ca every 3 days, and I don't shave anything else. I don't completely rule out shaving my pubic hair, if me and my gf happen to decide to do it together in the future.

I've got a 4 day old goatee... this is my EVIL FACE!

Sava · May 13, 2003, 14:36

oh yeah... I have a Norelco electric shaver... it's the one with the goo

orange · May 13, 2003, 14:41

that is the most hideous picture I have ever seen. And here I thought you were a good looking guy

Oh, as for the topic...I shave all of my face (no facial hair) and also trim up...er...down there...every now and then. It's hygenic and feels better, plus chicks dig it

Az · May 13, 2003, 14:48

That Goatee fits you well, Sava. I am sure you look, when not pissed off/scared/behave moronic/whatever you do on that pic.

hahaah don't let that EVIL pic scare you

dammit, my digital camera sucks

Spiffor · May 13, 2003, 14:59

The train looks nice

You know, one can see that you have strong east european roots. I see some eastern nomad tribe influence as well.

Cruddy · May 13, 2003, 16:47

Hey Sava - you might to mess with your digital camera output with a paint program.

Reducing the red/yellow might help with it, on indoor images anyway. Colour balancing was always a nonsense when I messed around with such things.

I wouldn't agree with the E European thing - to me it looks more like traces of Italian/Spanish Hidalgo. I'm no expert on ethnic origins though.

Provost Harrison · May 13, 2003, 17:11

I shave every other day or before something special, just too much hassle to shave more often. I have to trim my nasal hair and stuff too.

And moustaches are awful...a huge fashion faux pas

Provost Harrison · May 13, 2003, 17:14

Oh yeah, I use a Mach 3...damn electric razors just don't budge the hair on my face.

Provost Harrison · May 13, 2003, 17:18

I am currently a bit beardy, I shaved this morning...

Q Classic · May 13, 2003, 18:01

being asian, my facial hair grows slow, and i have no chest/back hair to speak of.

that said, i use mach3turbo with regular bar soap about once a week, or before important things.

Grandpa Troll · May 13, 2003, 18:16

I am 43..soon to be 44. I have been shaving since 16 and have extremely thick, coarse facial hair.

I tried gels,foams and various shavers, i.e. Bic, electric, but found that the only product which works well is a product called Ultimate Shave..available at Ultimateshave.com

It basically is a concentrate that uses a few drops of a clear liquid. I was very skeptical at first but for real, awesome product. I used a Triple Track Blade and no problems. I simply shower than apply and 10 seconds later, my beard comes off like butter.

Whenever something actually important comes up (read: not too often).

MattyBoy · May 13, 2003, 19:08

I shave all of my face (not head) most days, using soap and twin blade disposable. Each disposable typically last for months, though it depends upon the brand.

I shave in the shower and if I miss a bit I can always use spit.

As for shaving the rest of me, God forbid that I would do something like that, let alone that whole crack, sack and back wax!

Do most of you use shaving cream, if not electric razors?

Jon Miller · May 13, 2003, 19:34

I shave not often enough (I shave about once a week or two, I need it every other day)

I ahve had a goatee and often have some sort of sccraggily beard (can't grow a good beard yet)

I have been shaving with three balde razors, but recently started using double bladed razors and like them better

a couple years back I started using water to shave, and I can't go back to dry shaving

while in some ways warm water is nicer, it doesn't really matter

I usually shave right after a shower

Jon Miller · May 13, 2003, 19:35

oh I use disposables (last a couple of months), even though I had an electric when I was a lot younger

Well I'm a continuation of a family line of little face / body hair. All of my family men started shaving very late and have had little facial and body hair for most their lives.

Speaking of which, none of them went bald. Just lost some hair on the lobes, and went grey.

Isn't it funny that the hairiest people are also usually the first ones to go bald?
