F...Shaving

I #1 clipper my hair every few weeks or into a mohawk if I'm going to a gig, haven't got to the point where I can bring myself to shave though.

Well......the view through my distorted 'lens' is that bald is the new sidepart/anchorman hairstyle. Too many men are flying the 'bald and proud' flag.

I also work on a military post albeit off to the side, so there are a boatload of short haircuts. My idiot stripe sets me apart.

Just jerk'n yer chain! I wear a MH sometimes. All good, man.

My hair got fuzzy [ala grandpa Munster] so i gave it the boot!

I ordered a Merkur 180 last night, I'll post again when I get to try it out.

Congrats! Welcome to manhood.


My son and I got #1 buzzes over the weekend too. I bought some nice Wahl professional clippers a couple months back and my wife does my hair at home now, I cut my son's.

We were wasting nearly $40.00 a monthly trip after tips for simple haircuts at the barber shop. Pointless. Now I can keep it trimmed for free. I might attempt to cut my own soon. My wife won't let me do it on my own. :D

If I mess up...I'll just get the DE razor and baby oil out. I'll go for the scalped look for a week or two until it grows back.

I have enjoyed reading this thread! LOL!

I have always had very sensitive skin and when I shave everyday, my skin breaks out. I have used all sorts of fancy blades - the Fusions, Mach3, etc...I've even used disposables. Electric shavers only seem to work for about a couple of hours. By lunch time, I look like I haven't shaved at all! I usually like to keep the nicely trimmed, goatee style as I just don't look right completely clean shaven. I'm lucky, though, in that my workplace isn't very strict on "clean" appearances. Meaning - I can grow a beard or skip a day of shaving and nobody will say a thing about looking unprofessional.

I've been buzzing my own hair for a couple of years. It's not too hard once you get the hang of it, and you will definitely save some serious $$.

I'm not lying and pushing my preferred method when I say that shaving with a DE blade will cut down on irritation. My neck used to be a trouble spot, red bumps/spots and never a close shave. The irritation is gone now and I can get my neck to a baby's butt shave closeness with 2 or 3 passes. I do 2 passes on my face, sometimes a third on the neck.

Double Edge blades are infinitely sharper than any paper-thin cartridge blade. Even with 3, 4 or 5 blades...they're not sharp.

Doesn't take much extra time, the brush already has the lather on it.

I just feel like I'd cut myself to pieces trying to shave with one of those things.
