F...Shaving

Wow. I feel horrible if I skip a day of shaving, which I sometimes do on the weekends.

I keep a goatee but the neck and cheeks get shaved.

I have a fairly thick bread and I shave every day or at least 6 days a week. I just use a disposable with regular old shaving cream and then some Aqua Velva at the end. No razor burns or ingrown hairs. I can't imagine all these expensive shaving equipment would make any difference for me.

Just shaved in the shower under Hot water only...cheapest 2 blade razor I can find.
83 seconds end to end........Perfect

Disposable? You have no idea what you're missing!


I love the AV though...have a bottle of that in my rotation.

Look at Hog1's post as well, i really think it is your skin type. my face is really smooth afterwards and it takes no time.

Alright - I have a slight twist in the conversation. Any recommedations based on the following:

I do the full on scalp shave (It's either that or get a weekly haircut b/c my MPB makes me look like Bozo or a dog with mange after about 10 days). I shave every day for work/church but generally skip Saturdays unless I am going out.

Right now, I just use a generic 3-bladed gillete and canned shaving gel.

I actually enjoy my morning shave as, with two small children, it is pretty hectic in the morning and it is a brief period of respite ("Dad's got a very sharp blade in his hand, leave him alone!" - great excuse for both wife and kids). Reading through the thread and knowing that I find the focus required for shaving to be somewhat meditative, I am thinking it might be nice to enhance the experience with a little better equipment/lotions, etc.

For those unfamiliar, scalp shaving is a little tricky b/c there are a few extra bumps & curves in addition to some back of the head/out of sight shaving.

Any suggestions? Any other scalp-shavers out there?

Shortly....so I'm paying attention...

I'm a scalp buzzer, hoping to keep it that way too if father time permits.

Always amazes me how many words you can use. ;-)

Skins site speaking scalping. Love it

I shave my head and use magic shave.

I never cut myself and I don't get razor burn. It's about $4.00 a can and I can use it every three days for about two weeks. My hair is so thick, I have to leave it on for 20 min.

I hate shaving.
