What kind of razor do you shave with?

[lefty]

As a Jew, I recommend the Fusion Pro Glide. The razors being expensive as is the drawback but they're a really close shave. FYI though, my facial hair isn't as curly/thick as typical Jewish facial hair

As a Jew, you can't recommend those expensive Fusion blades

[jag]

The Gillette Fusion will get you the closest shave (with the grain), but God help you if you're pressed for time and need a quick shave of the upper lip. Working with 5 blades in the mustache area requires a lot of finesse. I can get just as close a shave, going against the grain, with the Mach 3, and I'm provided a little more room for error.

This, but just make sure you dry the razor off when your done in the shower and don't leave it in the shower because you go through razors even quicker if they stay wet for long periods of time.

I really need to start taking better care of my razors. They dull so quickly and I end up spending a silly amount of money on blades every month. I need to up my Jew game and start getting more bang for my buck.

If you run your razor against denim (so just a pair of jeans) after every time you use it it prolongs the life of razors a lot. Usually I make razors last a month or so, and that's also with me using it to manscape 2-3 times a week (before anyone makes some dumb remark about manscaping being gay, when you live in AZ and walk a mile to class every day, you do anything to limit the amount of sweat/odor you have. Especially in Tucson with the humidity right now.

I'll have to give the denim thing a try.

And if you're going to let it grow out for a couple/few days then there's nothing wrong with keeping it neat. Can't hate on that. Unless of course you're out sporting something really disturbing, like this:

I use the M5 Magnum razors, pretty damn close shave. And the price is pretty cheap

Keep the blade overnight in alcohol or mineral oil

It works

[leemajors]

How much are people spending on blades a month? Just curious.

Apparently the Schick Quattro was quite popular around these parts for quite some time...

Do you carry a gallon of water like other people I see walking around the Phoenix area?

[DJ Mbenga]

there was a time when the quatro was popular since they kept giving it away, i havent gotten free razors lately. the fusion is the one, has the one blade for the moustache. to extend the life of my razor i use the shaver to do some of the heavy lifting and then the razor just does a little work. im the type of person though that keeps the same razor for months, so after a while shaves become painful and annoying.
wish there was like a mass market cream you could rub on your face, let it sit for a minute then wipe your face and all the hair is gone. ah to dream.

No .

In the hot weather, the people who stink the most, are the ones with the most body hair.

Either that or a water bottle I refill.

rofl yup.

My friend who's Greek ( Greece) is harry beyond belief, overweight (actually at this point is fat), and smokes 1-2 packs a day. The combination of smoke and body odor that's trapped on on him because of all his hair creates the most repulsive smell ever.

Even under arm hair can be managed imo. You keep enough so it doesn't start looking feminine but trimming the excess goes a long way towards limiting pit stains.

[resistanze]

I shave once every two weeks, tbh. lol genetics.

[InRareForm]

Why don't people use electric shavers? Much easier. I know it gives some people razor burn, but your skin adjusts to the shaver after a few weeks and all is well

Son you can always get that waxed,that's what I do.

My question remains,has anyone used a straight razor regularly?? How hard is it at the beginning until you get used to it?

[The Gemini Method]

Right now I've got a beard that is pretty long, so I don't need much razoring...however, I will use a cheapy Bic one and the DoK denim thing is something I didn't know and will have to try when I decide to shave. The gf likes the beard as it satisfies some underlying hipsteress in the broad. Didn't know I signed up for that when I started dating her...

btw, I shave my balls and anus with a RaZon.

Cheaper to just shave it all in the shower tbh. If I was Greek and had a back that was hairy as then I definitely would get it waxed

I get alot of in-grown hairs using a electric razor. Convenient, but not for me.

[CuckingFunt]

I love really nice shaving kits with pretty straight razors or safety razors. Always think it's a good sign when guys have them. I've frequently given them as gifts, too.

I wish there were fancy shaving accessories for ladies, but there ain't. Boo.
