Nalis Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 Whats your shaving routine? Mine is a lazy clean shave every 4 days or so but anyone got any reccomendations on razors (electric / non electric) to maintain a 1-2 day stubble for a lazy bastard like me? And before anyone makes the joke, I am talking about face shaving.
Innovindil Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 Phillips one blade. Got one for Christmas a couple of years ago and it's ace. Leaves a shave like day old stubble. But I get massively lazy when it comes to shaving so sometimes it has to smash off a massive beard and it has no problem. Blades are expensive but they last ages.
Buce Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 I hate shaving and only do so when it starts to itch, so about once every ten days. I shave my head daily though.

I use one of these both for a 'clean' shave and for a beard set at level 3.

I'm looking to change up my shaving as I've just been buying Gillette cartridges my whole life and they're just ludicrously expensive. I shave every other day. Have been considering a foil shaver but have also glanced at the one blade. How long does yours last and how often do you use it?
RoboFox Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 Last time I was clean shaven was about 5 years ago. I'm not that pubic for someone in their 30s. Beard doesn't grow quickly or particularly long, so I'll take a beard trimmer to it every 2-3 weeks. Proper scruff, me.

Tbh I think I've only bought one new blade since I got it a couple of years ago. But I only shave probably once every couple of weeks.
Soar Fox Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 About every 4 weeks I’ll have a clean wet shave, in between that though I’ll use a Phillips electric shaver. Quite lazy when it comes to shaving and my mrs always moans about the mess I leave in the sink. The longer I leave it I start getting ingrowing hairs which are painful.
pSinatra Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 I shave about once a week. By then it's usually getting into beard territory, so have to run over with some clippers first & then shave. I've used all the different razors with all different number of blades. For Christmas, my missus subscribed me to that Harry's thing, but I don't get on with 5 blades, so I don't use them. I've gone back to 2-blade disposables. I think it's more about what cream you use. I use shit blades but Taylors Shaving cream & a badger brush. It costs about £12 a tub but it's quality stuff, it lasts forever & blades definitely last longer.

They're terrible for either purpose. For an oriental guy, I'd say my hair isn't even thick, but this razor is not even nearly strong enough to cut my facial hair. As for the pubes, it's not difficult to catch some of the very delicate skin in that general area in the business end of the razor. For me it's absolutely useless. This should be clearly stated in the product description: FOR WHITE FOLK ONLY, NOT FOR YOUR BALLS."
Beliall Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 beard trimmers once every 1 or 2 weeks. about 3 times a year ill shave it all off and start again in the hope it might encourage some proper growth. but mainly, just trim it down for that permanent homeless guy look

TheUltimateWinner Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 Maintain a short beard/stubble look using beard trimmers. Last time I shaved was for a job interview a few years ago and I ended up looking pre-pubescent!
Strokes Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 I haven’t regularly had a wet shave for well over a decade, I just maintain a pathetic beard every 2 weeks or so.
Guest Kopfkino Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 Use the Babyliss Istubble every couple of days to maintain my 1.6mm stubble . Wouldn't use anything else tbh cos it's so convenient Its pretty good for stubble, various settings between 0.4mm and 5mm put it on you're face, move it around for a couple of minutes, and voila minimal effort tidy stubble. Has lasted me a couple of years so far, probably should change the blade idk. Might upgrade to the Super Stubble now actually.
Guest MattP Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 Wet shave every other day. I'm a right gorilla and it's really annoying as I can't be bothered half the time, I have the Homer Simpson thing where I've got a shadow soon as I've done it, if I didn't shave for two weeks I'd look like I'm off to Syria.
urban.spaceman Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 Shaved for about 3 years when I was in my teens because I felt like I had to, though I hated every second of it. Then just sort of gave up on it out of boredom or laziness and have had a full beard for about 15 years. I stopped using a trimmer a few years ago as I have absolutely no perception of depth in a mirror so now I just let it grow and get it trimmed when I go to the barbers every 5 months or so. I couldn’t image ever shaving ever again, mainly because I’ve earned my beard and love it, but also because it covers up all my chins.
Babylon Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 Now wet shaving once a week and using the beard trimmer a couple of times in between. Not keen on wet shaving as it leaves me looking about 12 years old, but it stops me getting a load of in grown hairs.
Izzy Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 A timely thread for me Just got rid of the beard I'd had for 5 years so no more trimming required! Used to wet shave my neck about twice a week and use the basic Gillette Fusion blades but will now probably now have to full wet shave every other day so it could become expensive I always get my blades of e-bay and I'd never pay supermarket/chemist prices as they're a total rip off.
purpleronnie Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 Despise shaving but if I don't I just feel really scruffy. I have quite sensitive skin too so its a real process. Maybe when I get older I'll stop caring about my appearance and grow a beard. I am slightly envious when I see a nicely trimmed beard...those awful trendy ones these days look awful though.
lifted*fox Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 haven't wet shaved face for millions of years because I look like I'm about 11 when I do. maintain a general stubble using Philips beard-trimmer. also keep armpits at sensible length and trim chest stomach hair down to a #5. I shave my pubes down from a #2 at the top of my dick to a #5 towards the bottom of my stomach hair. I clean wet shave my dick, balls and the bit underneath. I also like to keep the hair around my arsehole tidy too because shitting through lots of arse-hair - nah. happy to help. edit: use a fancy Gillette twisty head thing b2b king of shaves unless you want all your junk cut up. I left my decent razor and shave gel in a hotel room in Mandalay and then attempted to use the razor at the next hotel to shave my dick. not good. not good at all.
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 Wet shave head and chest every 2 days (or every day on holiday). Balls every four days. Beard trimmed every 3/4 days. Great thread
