What do you shave with?

[Saulbadguy]

I used to buy in to the Mach 3/Fusion hype until I realized what a gigantic ripoff they were.  I've been using disposables for awhile now but am tired of them, so now i'm getting in to traditional wet shaving.

Ordered me one of these:


w/ a badger brush and some shaving soap.  Blades can be had for around 10 cents a piece. (double edged!)   

[pissclams]

sensor excel and go through a box of 5 blades a year or so.

and this crap

[cireksu]

mach 3, expensive but I use the crap out of the blades.

[michigancat]

Mach 3 turbo, much better cut than regular mach 3.  Blades last, like, forever.

QFT - Those babies are tough.  Hint:  if after the first couple of uses you think they are worn out, keep pushing on and you'll find they last like a damn month apiece.  And I've got wirehair.  Also, use soap for lather, much much the better than anything supposedly for shaving.  I think the creams/foams are made to wear out blades.

[RonLongshaft]

the Mach # Turbo is where its at, with Nieva(sp) for men cream

Can't wait to shave!

[WildWillie21]

Mach 3 Turbo for sure.

They sent me one for free when I turned 18, and I used the same damn blade for probably a year. Didn't have to shave so much back then, though. Now I'm usin' about a blade per 2 or 3 months and even then it's hard to tell if they're really that worn out.

Edge-Extra Moisturizing for cream.

You guys can use a blade that rotates?  NO WAY.. trust me I got more facial hair than all of you and I use a slim twin because it's got 2 stationary blades.  With the aveeno stuff so because it's got the least offensive smell.  Been cutting myself a lot lately though, so maybe I should switch back to Gilette Foamy. 

I'm interested in your setup, though Saul.

Really?



I use Fusion because I need the single blade.

Usually this:




But when I let it grow out for a while, this:

I use Mach 3 Turbo as well. The Gillette Gel is pretty nice.

My problem is I hate shaving. It grows fairly fast, so I should shave every day or two or else i look like a bum. I end shaving about every 5th day. So I was looking into a nice Braun 360 set. I'm hoping that it will get me to shave every day. Have any of you used this before? I have used cheap electric razors and they're not good at all. Any input?

If you like a close shave, you will be disappointed with any electric razor, IMO.  It will get you a nice 5:00 shadow every day but won't get very close.

Optical inch works on face as well. 



 

[dmartin]

I was gonna make a machete joke, but B already killed that.

I just use an electric, don't remember which one.  Every other day, longer than that and it gets painful. Don't really care about getting the smoothest close shave, I don't spend all day touching my face with gentle caresses.

this little number is for your marble sack duh

[catdude33]

I would kill for a good 5:00 shadow.  If I let my facial hair grow out I would look like Joe Dirt.

and that would be a bad thing?

i once grew a beard out over lunch.

I thought this was a revival off the ball-shaving thread and was almost disappointed to find out otherwise.

Anyway, I'm a bigtime Mach 3 guy.  Also, I shave only in the shower.  I find that the steamy environment gives a better shave than just standing at the bathroom sink.

[steve dave]

What does one of those cost Saul?  Looks like rich guy stuff imo.

Yeah, me too.  Mach 3 in shower or immediately after.

[michigancat]

I need a mirror.

[fatty fat fat]

'rents won't let me shave.

[catdude33]

I need a mirror.

At Target they have some nice little fog free mirrors, with built in clock, that suction to the wall. 

[KSt8er]

Yep, shower too.  And again for you newbies, after years of buy stuffs to put on before shaving I was informed by another knowledgeable shaver that soap is much better.  It is.  Try it dammit.
