The Shaving Thread

[WOXOF]

I've been shaving my head for about 10 years now and have used everything from the Mach III to a ladies' bic to a really nice Norelco electric my wife got me for Christmas last year.
The best way to go, imho, is the Mach 3 in the shower with some good quality shaving gel. I keep my head under the hot water for a few minutes, apply gel, and get to it.
As far as dry head, I use a scentless lotion and I'm good to go.

Thanks Aaron. I haven't shaved it with a razor yet. I'm keeping it as short as I can with the trimmers and no guard. I'm finally getting used to the sensation of no hair. The mach 3 scares the hell out of me. I'm scared to put one of those on my face, much less my noggin. I saw a razor at the drugstore called a Headblade. I might start off with that. It has wheels on it that keep the blades aligned right.

Nature is doing a damn fine job of keeping my hair short.

For the love of God, do not, I repeat DO NOT waste your money on this little Freddy Kreuger. It has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Playing with the camera in sepia. I didn't want any comments about the pink shirt I was wearing.

Thanks for saving me the money. I'm still afraid of the mach 3 though. I'll just use my two blade bic for starters.

I recently started using the Gillette Fusion, Nice, but too expensive. The Mach III is the best disposable razor ever made. I know they LOOK dangerous, but I never cut myself even once!

Well, just had my first shave with the Merkur HD razor.

Got my new C&E Badger brush on the way, too.

Got on the badgerandblade.com board ... there's someone already named chefchris on there!!! wtf !!!!

Oh and if you see a dude on there that goes by the name of neilxvx , that's one of my buds. he's a silly little bitch though.

You see, being 20 years old creates a chasm between my friends and other people my age, because no one can fathom why I talk about shaving and dedicate time out of my day to go shave instead of hanging out. Part of it is because not many people my age have a full beard like I do.

Ok, this dude lives in an apartment with our lead singer, who has a full beard and is 19. There is another 19 year old and a 20 year old in the apartment as well, both capable of growing full beards. If only you knew this guy. I love em to death, but there's no point in being ridiculous.

He's also Vegan, but recommends the badger brush. He's straight edge but loves Partagas Spanish Rosadas. This is what I was talking about, JFellows.
Me and Sarah had a good laugh last night reading his posts.

Shave went fine, no irritation at all. I was surprised, I was expecting the worst. It was scary holding that heavy razor on my face, ecspecially since I haven't shaved with a razor in probably 2 years. I use an electric razor. Skin feels good today. I think I'm gonna like this, I know Sarah will.
