i'm sick of cutting my face with blades.
I actually use a straight razor with brush and bar soap. I feel it gives me a much better shave then a mach3 with gel cream.

It is another one of the quirks i have along with drinking dark beer.

It definantly takes time but once you get the hang of it its the best, cleanest, and closest shave you will get. Im a quality over quantity guy. The reason why your razor sucks is because the blade is wearing out. With a straight razor you only need to sharpen it once or twice a year. You take good care of the razor and you will get good shaves. It is also cheaper in the long run as the mach 3 blades can run 10-20 dollars depending how many you buy and they wear out rather quickly.

stop shaving. its gay

and what about ELECTRIC RAZORS, i'm looking for a safe way to shave quickly in the morning, even if it's not as efficient as with a straight razors, i dont care, just want the job done quick .
i never gave em a try; i'm really looking forward smthg that would limit the risks of cutting myself or irritating my skin ; id also like not to use any lubrication and be able to do it dry everyday > i got an office job and i need to shave everysingle day, hence the thread.
"The primary disadvantage to electric shaving is that it is not as close as wet shaving. The advantages are as follows: fewer cuts in the skin, no ingrown hairs (also called razor bumps or pseudofolliculitis barbae), less pain and redness.
Many pre- and post-electric lotions are sold but electric shaving does not usually require the application of any lubrication to be effective and can be done dry."

This is what I would look for:
- single razor plane, not those three rotating thingies (e.g. Philips).
- cleanable under water
- accu powered
- preferably with blade array, not just a razor foil
Panasonic has some good ones. If you have never shaved electric, you will probably get a rash the first few times until the skin gets used to it (same as switching from electric to normal razor). Shaving takes a little longer but you can skip the shaving cream.

electric razors are shit...they're not precise
i use gillette fusion...works for me

Yes, before taking the horse drawn carriage to the Gentleman's Club for an aperitif and a fine luncheon of pheasant, boar, venison, and other local game.
Whatever makes you feel cultured leafy. ;)

Fusion from Gillette by far the best razor. V close shave.
I just use a plain old bar of soap to shave with though. No foam or gel

why is a single razor plane better than the ones with rotatings thingies??
tks everyone.

I tried both and with the three rotators, you end up using just the top one most of the time and it takes a lot longer in the end.

Andis T liner/trimmer.. you can dry shave with it as close as you would with a razor blade, every hair salon/barber shop in the world has at least a couple of these,.

It'll come in handy to slit your own throat once you come to terms with what you really are - a gaytroll liar living in shame and denial
How do you live with yourself thus far?
:D

I use the philip electric shaver for everyday purposes. It works pretty good, as other have mentioned you can't get a close as a razor, but for just going to work or things of that sort it is great. I use the quattro for special events.

It's a good razor if you shave regularly.
shaving a 5-day or more beard with it is pain. It worked wonderfully with the old 2 blade or 3 blade versions though.

I'm a pussy with sensitive skin :P
I only shave every day if I have to.
most of the time it's every 3 or 4 days and the fusion works great for me.

I don't shave every day as well, if i'm not with clients on a trip.
every 3 days is maximum for the fusion for me.
