F...Shaving

Once or twice a week?


Don't worry, kid...everyone matures at their own pace. Don't let the boys who already have chest hair get to you. You'll catch up in your own time.

Merkurs are GREAT razors. I sold my Slant last year when I trimmed down my shaving arsenal to my 3 favorite razors, but it was a fine piece of equipment.

I've sold about 10 razors...it's fun to restore, test drive and flip them for a profit. I decided to get rid of a lot when the baby was on the way. :D


Do yourself a favor and pick up some C.O. Bigelow shave cream from Bath and Body Works...best cream you can buy and they have good sales on them. It's mentholated and makes your skin feel like ice after you rinse it off. Wakes you up and will give you a better shave than the goo in a can or cheap gel. Won't take any longer to apply either.

LOL the funny thing is, I probably have more chest hair than you. Without saying too much, let's just say I've had no problem growing body hair as opposed to facial hair. Shaving facially once or twice a week works for me because I get a decent 1/8 inch stubble going and it's usually around that point that I decide to shave.

Just decided to move from my signature goatee to attempting a light beard. Feels strange, but it's filling in nicely and the absence of using a razor every other day has done wonders for my skin.

I'll probably get antsy and lop it off this weekend, but we'll see. As far as electric razors go, I don't how guys do it.

Apparently, at 29, I just hit puberty. I used to have to shave 1-2 times a week. I'm having to shave about 3x a week now. This is terrible. The worst part? Still can't grow a beard because I have awkward bald spots.

I hear you, I've got a patch on the left side of my face that just doesn't grow hair, so it makes beard growing really awkward. Hence why I just let stubble grow in before I get rid of it.

Sounds like it would be a close competition. I have to trim my chest/abs/pits to avoid looking like a bear. Yet, I can't grow sideburns and don't have a single back hair.

Ah. Yeah I've got more than enough hair on my chest/stomach/arms, yet not much back hair at all. I could shave it, but I would rather leave it as is than bother with the steady upkeep.

Buster do you have any good recommendations for a decent aftershave to buy that's not too expensive?

Aqua Velva

Aqua Velva

Great choice actually. My wife loves the smell too, plus the Ice Blue version makes your face feel like ice...great in the summer.

My list if great AS you can buy at your local drugstore, I have used all of these:

*Pinaud Clubman (my favorite scent, wife loves it too)
*Pinaud Bay Rum
*Pinaud Special Reserve (musk scent)
*Aqua Velva Ice Blue
*Aqua Velva Musk (orange)
*Brut
*Old Spice


Actually wearing Brut today. You might think it's going to be a bad flashback to when you hit puberty and loaded up on it, but if you wear it properly and don't bathe in it, it smells great.


Pinaud also makes one called Lilac Vegetal...AVOID AT ALL COSTS. it has a horrible reputation on every shaving forum for spelling like cat urine. Someone threw a sample of it into some blades I ordered once and I can confirm, it DOES smell like cat urine, not even joking.


I really recommend the Clubman. It has an old barbershop scent and my barber and many others still use their products.

I really say, take $20 and go to CVS, Rite-Aid, Walgreens, whatever you have and get this list for a nice rotation with variety:

*Clubman
*AV Ice Blue
*AV Musk
