Mach 3 once a week. I'm lazy, and I like the crackhead to cleancut transition. Keeps people guessing.

Tried electrics, hated them all. Chewed me up and still had to touch up with a regular razor.

X2"thumbsup" although I use the 4 blade fusion.

Manual for me. Always did use a razor. Now my wife says if I ever want any lovin, gotta keep up with the razor

 

[JasonInAugusta]

Both, just depends.

Have a nice Braun and a Mach 3 that both get used on my face and scalp.

never liked electric razors, they never seem to get as close as i want

personally im partial to the gillette fusion but whenever i have time or im going out for a special occasion i like to use hot lather and an old school straight edge

[drumbeater]

i have a phillips that i received for christmas. it has a pop up trimmer on the back. the first shave was uncomfortable but then it wasn't bad. gets as close as my razors did

I usually have a 5 o'clock shadow before I finish my oatmeal in the morning so I usually use an electric for ease. I usually have to hit it with the electric clippers first though :roll: I think they all suck ass though, had all of them from the $250 to the $25. They all suck equally.

If I want to actually look nice and get a good shave then I use a single blade razor.

x2 except that I've been using Gillette Mach3 for years and the dang blades get expensive after awhile. I can't see more than 3 blades per cartridge really doing a better job, they just charge out the azz for them! I usually buy 50 pack at Costco and last about one year.

I use them with Trader Joe's natural Honey Mango Cream Shave, works great and no chemicals. Used cheapo Barbasol before that, but the TJ's works better and one tube lasts a long time for me, only need a little bit lathered up with warm water. Best shave is always in the shower, second best is right out of the shower and shave without drying my face.

I've thougt about using good old single edge safety razor, what's a good brand? Where do you buy them, do they work well, cut yourself more or less?

Electric, Norelco all the way. I still have my dad's from the early 80's that works just fine. I have a "newer" one from the early 2000's that I'm using currently.

x2, my beard is very thick and yes I could shave twice per day but that won't happen. :mrgreen:

BRAUN


you need to buy a quality foil. Anything with 3 circles is absolute crap and will eat your face. I have a beard now but before i would shave almost daily with my braun and then touch up my neck quickly with a razor. My face was smooooth and had no irritation whatsoever. The new pulsonic is supposed to be incredible. I have an older one (ran me about $150) and it still works great.

Even expensive Braun kinda slow, not close enough shave either for me.

Any recommendations brand, blades, different shave technique from Gillette Mach3 etc?

 

[Jeckler]

Gillette Atra Plus and Barbasol cream. I've had my metal handle for close to 20 years. I shave twice a week and a 10-pack of blades lasts me at least a year. This last pack I bought the Walgreen's house brand and can't wait for them to run out. Half the price, but they don't seem as sharp, even new, as a week old OG blade.
I tried the 3 and four blade disposables before and I hate them. It felt like my face was going to get pulled off. Very uncomfortable.

I've only gotten lazier since '09. Just knock it down with the clippers once a month!

Same technique. I shave right after a hot shower.

Baxter Razor: Baxter of California Safety Razor | Chrome-plated
Feather stainless blades: Feather Double Edge Razor Blades (100 Blades)
And a good badger hair brush (which ever fits your wallet best)
I change blades every 10 or so shaves. That packet of blades should last at least a year if not 2.

BTW, for those of you who travel and are tired of carrying a tub/can of cream, this stuff is tiny and works great!
