Do you shave daily? Weekends too? What do use, blade or electric? What brand? Later

Benjamin Grimm Oct 13 2007 05:08 PM

I shave seven times on Sunday so that I don't have to bother the rest of the week.

Power... POWER! Can't beat it. Every day during the week, sometimes on the weekends.

i use some electric shit, shave every 2 or 3 days. i'm way too lazy to ever use a blade.

TheOldMole Oct 13 2007 06:11 PM

Mach 3 blade half the time, electric half the time. Don't shave every day on weekends. And my bikini lines....

Iubitul Oct 13 2007 06:52 PM

Trac II blade every day - I occasionally give it a rest on saturdays if I'm not going anywhere... In the summer I have the alternate universe Spock look, and grow it into a complete beard between Mets seasons...

Once every two or three weeks with a beard trimmer to remove food particles and dead insects.

="seawolf17"] Power... POWER! Can't beat it. Every day during the week, sometimes on the weekends. Seawolf, what IS the point of a razor with power? Seriously...if I thought it was worth it maybe I'd try it. Yes I shave daily, very old Trac II razor that's probably older than my daughter and still works fine. Or a Daisy. Whatever shave creme is in the closet. My all time favorite was Foamy Surf Spray but alas they stopped making it around 1978. Noxema is nice too

Don't shave. When I did, it was daily, using real old-fashioned shaving soap. I forget the type of razor.

Beard trimmer once a week.

Braun Syncro Electric razor virtually every day.

I had a coupon to get it for free, so I replaced my Quattro with that one. It vibrates a little bit while you shave. Don't know exactly what the benefit is.

Once a week- Braun Syncro for the face... Wahl clippers for the head... Beard trimmer for the goatee... It's quite a ritual, usually performed Sunday evening at the last possible moment.

Same brand razor as Seawolf (and for the same reason, though I like it a lot) , but on a MWF schedule.

I got one of those battery ones for free and used it once and was embarrassed. It was invented not to improve your shave but because Duracell and Gillette were the same company. I use a cheapo schick disposable with King of Shaves menthol shave gel, every weekday in the shower. I mean to try the Italian Proraso cream but I just bought a year's supply of KoS so it'll have to wait.

i feel like i get a worse shave from my fusion power when the battery runs out and hence cannot vibrate than i do when it vibrates. why, i have no idea. but with the vibe on, i get less nicks and cuts and my poor sensitive face emerges more likely to be unscathed.

="seawolf17"] Power... POWER! Can't beat it. Every day during the week, sometimes on the weekends. I use this when I shave too. Someone gave it to me but I like it. I shave about every other day and not on the weekends if I don't have to. My facial hair doesn't grow too fast and its doesn't come in incredibly dark or thick when it does. I'm 43 and still couldn't grow sideburns if you paid me.

Trim my nose and ear hairs, twice monthly. About all the hair maintenance I do nowadays.

Kid Carsey Oct 14 2007 04:06 PM

Wax my knuckles and arms twice a week now for the last two years or so. I find it cuts down on my tendency to only breathe through the mouth and howl when inappropriate in social situations. Shaving? Hate it. Barbasol and nothing fancy for a razor.

="seawolf17"] That razor looks like the bad guy in a science fiction cartoon. I shave about nine times a week on average - every day in the morning, and also in the evening if I'm going out. The girlfriend hates five o'clock shadow. Hates it. I use a Gillette Mach3 (no power, neither in my razor nor in my life in general). I also have a Braun rechargable that I bring with me to work, just in case. It works OK as a touch-up, but not well enough to use as my main everyday razor. Basically, my life is about shaving. In fact, the reason why I'm currently posting as Lute Barnes and not someone like, say, Mookie Wilson, is that I'm too busy shaving to post more often. on edit - Gillette shaving gel, too.

Whatever razors + whatever foam. Daily (or just about daily) during the week since chapping off the beard about 2 years ago. On the other hand it would have to be something pretty fancy to get me to shave on a weekend. Like a wedding ... and even then it might have to be mine ... and even then I'd have to think about it.

Extreme III razors on weekdays. Don't shave on weekends or vacations.

I started growing a beard in November 2000 just because I was tired of shaving. I now trim every three weeks or so, and about twice a week I shave my cheeks and my throat. Before I grew my beard I wouldn't shave every day, although I should have. I would too often go into work looking a bit scraggly.
