I hate shaving.. I shave my head and all i use is hot water and a sharp fusion blade.. for my face, i use hair clippers because if i use a blade, i get razor bumps from hell..

i use a gillete 2 blade. it gets the job done.... but then again the job really isn't too hard. one of the many advantages of being irish.

sativa fan, like that other bloke said - damn you make shaving sound euphoric haha :smile:
If you get that much pleasure out of it then all the more power to you buddy :smile:
For me, shaving is just one of those things that has to be done - it doesn't really rock my boat, so I'm happy saving time by using the multi-blade razors, and time is money!
 
If I had the money, I would get a shave every morning. Do they still do that? at barber shops? shave and a haircut, 2 bits? Whats the going rate to have someone do the shaving for you?

Heres a problem I have with saving maybe somone can reccomend a solution for.

I have a hell of a time shaving the sides of my throat where it gets concave, I just cant get it like I can the rest of my face.. well I can but it requires many passes and I always cut myself a little if I get it down to the skin on both sides.

Is there a razor that will get in those concave areas and not cut me?

I'm only here to make a product recommendation for the gentlemen of ICMag.... (because I'm an organic product junkie and this is a great line, they have everything)

but this is the men's stuff.. not TOO expensive, maybe a dollar or 2 more than your average drugstore crap... and I do mean CRAP.

They don't have any harsh chemicals that burn your face or anything. All natural, the way it should be..


Also, if you don't mind spending a little more, this one is supposedly awesome (I bought it for my other half and he loved it)

I have an old shick injector which is probably over 25 years old. It has sort of a bakelite handle. Maybe i will hunt up some blades for it today.. It does shave better than disposables but this is the only concession I will make. I dont think i would buy a double edged razor. If i had one I would use it probably.

Schick Injectors are great razors, as well.

As much as I like some of the modern "conveniences", I make time to do some things the right way, no matter what. Shaving is one of those things. My father was a barber, so between his own personal stuff, and auctions/flea markets, we have a large collection of razors and accessories. I have my leather strop on the side of the vanity, and I sharpen/tune my own razors. We used to buy them for a couple bucks each, now they're "collectible", so every yuppie cocksucker thinks they're gonna finance their kids' education with "collectibles", and they're 40 bucks each.

There is no better shave, period. They should teach this stuff in high school gym class or something. I use a badger brush and soap made by Burt's Bees. My wife broke my mug at one point, she found a really nice one online to replace it.

If you insist that you still need a cartridge razor, check for Personna razors online, they're usually much cheaper, and a good product. I carry one when I travel, since our "security" retards won't let you board a plane with a real razor.
