I don't think we've EVER, in the history of NS, had a thread about shaving.

This mainly is directed toward men shaving their faces, but if women have facial hair coming out of their cheeks everyday, they can throw in their two cents as well. :D

Anyway, what do you guys use to shave, mostly? A razor or an electric razor? Any kind of aftershave?

Basically let's all try and help each other make shaving as painless and as quick as possible. Especially for me. :)

Don't shave. It's the Man who wants you to buy razors, and shaving cream, and then scrape the hair and top layers of skin off various parts of your body. Just say no.

I tend to opt for wax...

You know, your thread needn't be inherently sexist. Throe the doors wide open to all forms of follicle-abuse, and you'll get an interesting discussion, no doubt.

What scares me is that you may be right. It's hard to imagine a topic not talked about on here.

Anyways, I use an electric. I hate razors. I don't like most colognes, and thus, not fond of aftershaves.

I shave..oh..anywhere from once a week to every day. Depending on how much time I have and how tired I am (since I tend to shave at night).

I have very little facial hair. :)

What, our legs don't count? I feel fairly confident we have to shave a larger area than you guys do... :p

Well yeah but I knew that's the direction this thread was headed for anyway so I figured I might as well send it in this direction first and let it evolve on its own.

I haven't shaved in four days and I'm already feeling very furry right now. I think in this scenario, the Man is my friend.

lol, I used to be on a swim team, so I did that. I didn't mind it, so much as the fact that it was time consuming.

What, our legs don't count? I feel fairly confident we have to shave a larger area than you guys do... :p
Which reminds me I should shave MY legs for waterpolo soon.

And women have never brought up that shaving their legs is so much better than not shaving them and that men should do it. Noooo...I had to figure that out on my own accord!

What, our legs don't count? I feel fairly confident we have to shave a larger area than you guys do... :pYou do not have to shave your legs. Just say no.

I have a thing for legs on a woman, I have to shut anyone up that tells women to NOT shave their legs. Sorry pal. *takes out bat*

Why on earth would you shave?

I use a blade but I don't do any straight guy speed shaving. Follow the fab 5 please. :)

i use several moisturizers (SP).. never soap and not that blue aftershave stuff in a bottle..

I also wax my legs.. but i'm sure you didn't me below the neck lol.

I have a thing for legs on a woman, I have to shut anyone up that tells women to NOT shave their legs. Sorry pal. *takes out bat*Pal?
I am most definitly a chick.

Put down the crack pipe.

It feels better, and you swim a lot smoother shaven.

Pal?

*puts away bat and takes out a razor*

Wax...trust me, its better.Ouch.
I'll pass.

You do not have to shave your legs. Just say no.

Well, I frequently do just say no during the winter. :) I don't care too much about the aesthetic aspect, really - I mostly just hate that tickly feeling when my legs rub against each other. It's all....tickly.

Wax...trust me, its better.

Tried that once. Spent the next several minutes writhing on the floor saying, "Owwwwwww!" Shaving may be a pain in the ass, but it doesn't feel like ripping my skin off. :p

I use a non-electric razor and regular liquid soap to shave.

Shick Quatro as a razor
I don't use any cream.. i shave in the shower so the heat opens the pores and makes it easier to shave the hair follicles without pain.
No need for aftershave. Only wimps use that! (jk.. never needed it)

O.o Y'know, when I used my razor, I never used any sort of shaving lube. and..wow. This is this person's first post..ever..and they've been here since Feb '04. ...Lurkers are scary.

Ordinary razor for the face, and electric clippers for sideburns, chin-accessorizing and everything else that needs to be kept neat and tidy. Meaning pretty much everything from the throat down.

I'm most definitely a lurker... and I still post.... sometimes...

And I shave... legs in the summer/sunny days... When you're wearing pants.. it's just not worth it... unless you plan on taking the pants off in front of someone.

It's actually shocking how many guys don't notice. I suppose they are focusing on other parts of my anatomy...
Just say no. Don't let the Man dictate how you look.

I shave. Occasionally.

Electric razor; no after shave.....

I've got a beard, but I occasionally shave the edges to even it out with a manual razor.

But... I just like that feeling. I'm using wax on my legs and razors for all other hair that doesn't grow on my head. :D

Don't let the Man dictate how you look.
"The Man" is doing no such thing.

I dictate how I look. I could give a rats ass what a guy thinks of my unshaved legs. Bad breath is SO much worse that unshaven legs, so is a bad personality. I, however, like to shave them occasionally.

Well maybe dirty hippies can feel fine about their stinky, hairy balls but that's soo not cool. :p

Have any of you tries to chemicly shave? I just wondered if it really worked.

Nope, still no balls.

I will kick any man out of my bed if I discover little boy balls down there, just fyi. It really freaks me out.

This is a "Free Will" discussion just waiting to happen. (I, for one, believe that there is no such thing as free will, and act only how I know how to act from the influences around me, such as "the man". Even rebellion is influenced by the powers around you)

Good question. I've been wondering the same thing. Anyone?

Have any of you tries to chemicly shave? I just wondered if it really worked.My sister did. It smelled like burning hair and gave her a hella bad rash that looked like a freaky STI.
She has really sensitive skin, obviously that doesn't happen to everyone, but I think it's funny. It did remove most of her hair.

SHAVE....SHAVE.....SHAVE if u have a problem shave it off, the esy way to live, im a guy and i have next to no hair, only on my head does it grow.
The rest is afraid of appearing.lol

I recently got an electric, but I think I'm going to be going back to my mach 3.

I use a Mach 3 Xtreme (or whatever Gillette calls the little disposable "electric" razor they make) First I I wipe/wet my face with an insanely hot towel, then I use a brush to lather up my old school shaving cream (I swear to God I get a closer shave this way) I don't bother with Aftershave, never needed it. I DO use Nivea Daily Protective lotion, but thats becauuse my day job requires me to be rather close to industrial type blow torches and molten bronze, which at a temperature of 1400 C. can really do any exposed skin some damage.

I WISH I could grow a beard without looking like a cad. The hair on my head is blonde but my beard is much darker, as well as multi-coloured. When I grow a beard it makes it look like:
A) have a foreign growth on my face
B) I am wearing a toupee
C) I bleach my hair
D) dye my beard with random liquids
or
E) all of the above

It just plain looks wrong. Which sucks, because if my beard were closer in colour to my head hair, I'd be dead ringer for a young Auguste Renoir, which is kinda neat.

*is afraid of the rats nest Oxwana must have between her legs.*
Any girl who wants me to 'eat @ the Y' better do some trimming. I don't like flossing when I'm going down.

I used to shave my legs for cycling, but gave it up because it was a major pain in the ass. Women who don't shave their legs are making a good decision, albeit one that I find less aestheticly pleasing...but its their body, therefore none of business to tell them what to do. Except in the quid pro quo scenario I mentioned earlier.

I'd prefer not to shave, but I and my college disagree on matters of aesthetics, as such I use a Philips electric razor and Cerruti 1881 aftershave (but generally only if I'm seeing my girlfriend).

On the female front: I don't really mind if my girlfriend doesn't shave her legs or whatever. It's her choice. It's just a pity I don't have the same amount of freedom vis-a-vis my face.

Those damn fascists!!! *shakes fists at the air while shouting angrily*

Those damn fascists!!! *shakes fists at the air while shouting angrily*
quite so. :p

Shaving sucks monkey balls.

Getting a really good shave is hard, with the average disposable razor, and anything else, including better disposable razors, are very exspensive.

And even if you do get a nice shave....it lasts for a few hours.

not to mentoin the burning...the bleeding...the general irritation to the face...

WE HATES IT, PRECIOUS!!

I would find it interesting to know what people actually shave or wax or epilate?

My facial hair, and the bit between my eyebrows whenever it's bordering on a unibrow. :p

WELL THAts easy....(why was I yelling?)

Thier whoo-whoo dilly's.

What else?

almost everything :rolleyes:

I'm female... I shave my legs

* nods*

Yer Pappy never learned ya how to shave, did he?

Yer Pappy never learned ya how to shave, did he?


Uhh..no..he didnt...

But its not a task that requires skill..just practice.

Its also a tedious task.

i am male but shave my legs too.....

Razor, then Issey Miyake

I've grown a beard over the summer and unfortunately it will have to go before uni starts. Ah, the joys of having to think about not intimidating patients... :(

Anyway, I'm really going to miss it. It looks good on me and having had a break from shaving, I really am going to hate that first shave. Imagining the razor (I usually use a regular razor, but I have an electric one for when I'm in a hurry or it isn't as important to have a really close shave) sliding around on skin that isn't used to being shaved any more just makes me shudder. Not to mention having to rediscover the different methods I have to use on trouble spots where the hair just refuses to go...

It's funny how, as a kid, I couldn't wait to start shaving, because of the general longing to be older that one has at that age (not to mention a misdirected sense of coolness). Then, the time finally came and the task grew really old within a week.

"Goddammit, I have to do this almost every morning? Sonofabitch!"

"Goddammit, I have to do this almost every morning? Sonofabitch!"
almost? lucky. :p

almost? lucky. :p

Well, I've weekends off sometimes...

I use shaving cream, a brush and a razor with those old-fashioned screw-in blades, i never liked that fancy new stuff like quadruple blades, electric blades like Mach 3 and whatnot. I get a good shave from it for a fraction of the price. For my head and sideburns i use a clipper, 1 mm for the head, 15 mm for the sideburns. My goatee gets cut with scissors once in a while.

Well, I frequently do just say no during the winter. :) I don't care too much about the aesthetic aspect, really - I mostly just hate that tickly feeling when my legs rub against each other. It's all....tickly.
heh...unshaved legs in tights...at that point I DO care about the aesthetic aspect :)

I have shaved now for almost 30 years. I don't like it, never have.

I've had a full beard. A handlebar mustache and everything in between.

Currently my wife prefers me clean shaven. So for her sake, I do it.

I use a triple blade razor, shave gel and cheap after shave because I'm just masochistic enough to enjoy the burn.

I take my pants off in front of people all the time, and I still don't shave... Just say no. Don't let the man dictate how you look.
It's actually shocking how many guys don't notice. I suppose they are focusing on other parts of my anatomy...


If I could chosse, I'd go commando... But then I would have no excuse to buy myself pretty thongs... And besides, there'd be nothing to take off in the ladies' and hand to your date so he knows that you're not wearing underwear if you weren't wearing any to start.

No wonder.... :D

me i use a double blade razor and shaving cream, no aftershave

True story. If you are in fact trying to rebel. I'm not. I'd rather not spend all the time and effort (and money) that shaving requires to alter my body in a way that IMO is neither positive or negative; has no benefits whatsoever. I do resent that I have been hasseled so much because of my decision to not shave my leg, but my resentment played no part in said decision.
Do you wear make up?

I often wonder what knothead decided women should shave any part of their bodies. Was it a man or a woman? I personally don't think it's really neccesary for a woman to be totally lacking body hair to be attractive.

Ancient Roman men (rich ones anyway) used to have their body hair plucked. Ouch.

Good thinking Colodia.
I was going to make a thread about the hardest place to shave.eh
Too late.

I use an Electric shaver.-its just not the same. :(

For my head and sideburns i use a clipper, 1 mm for the head, 15 mm for the sideburns. My goatee gets cut with scissors once in a while.

That must look interesting, having your sideburns be 15 times longer than your head hair. *imagines*

Cool.

i shave about once every two weeks with a razor, because my girlfreind likes me having a beard. she shaves her legs and...other places...

I would find it interesting to know what people actually shave or wax or epilate?

Everything but my headhair :)

And waxing hurst too much, i found a nice chemical hair remover for the sensitive parts

I'm just unlucky I guess. My beard never grows out too well (it stops at the very prickly whisker stage), but I always manage to look like I have a 5 o'clock shadow 2 hours after I've shaved, and this is with a razor.

Now I just use an electric as my fiancee demands no beard for quickness and a razor for special occasions and just accept that I will always look scruffy.

On another note, a friend persuaded me to try a chemical hair remover (reason being that I scare people when I swim as they think there is a bear in the pool). Damn stuff BURNED, it was like the worse sunburn I had ever had and I had to be in the shower with cold water for a half an hour before the burning stopped. I couldn't let anything touch my back for 2 weeks.

But it DID get rid of my back hair... for about a month and a half. :p

Have any of you tries to chemicly shave? I just wondered if it really worked.

Delipi-Delipo.. Creamythingy?

That works. My friend tried it.

I've waxed my legs. I don't think it hurts, but it's too bothersome, so I shave.

I used a Mach 3 turbo for ages, but now I'm onto the 'electric manual' razor (which I've forgotten the name of, its the gillette one), which I'm not convinced is any better.

The question is, do I really need to upgrade to a 4 blader? Is 4 blades really enough :eek:

Shaved head off and on for 5 years or so. Had a moustache for 11 years, shaved it about 18 months ago, but grew it back in May. Beard off and on same time as the moustache.

Currently currentlly pretty shaggy... hair to the bottom of the collar, moustache, and beard.

Usally a bic disposable, soap, and water...

Shaving can be a nuisance.
I use a two-disced electric razor personally.
No pain whatsoever, and works just as well.

My view on shaving is this. You hold a sharp blade capable of slicing skin to someone else's neck:it's attempted murder. To yourself: it's shaving.

Mach3 is my instrument of suicide.

I shave every morning when I wake up, unless of course I wake up late like today so I don't get a chance to shave. :p

I used to use a wilkinson sword protector, but got an electric shaver recently. I have to say it is much better on the sides of my face - no irritation, cuts at all - but I can't work it on my neck and under my chin yet without it irritating me.

At some stage 5 blades will arrive. :(

First I take a hot shower. Afterwards I use gel and Mach3. I used to use barberscumm but gel works better for me.

To what I shave and how often:
* Face: every second day
* Breast, back and axles: once per week (usually at the weekend when I like to
go out)

Did anybody ever wondered why people shave there legs but nobody shaves his arms for aestetic reasons? :confused:

I hate shaving, the hair grows back faster and thicker.
Never use cheap crappy shavers.

* Breast, back and axles

*giggles*

I think you mean "chest" and "shoulders". And you shouldn't shave your chest - chest hair is hot!

I have absolutely no facial hair on my cheeks, but thick facial hair on my chin/upper lip. Therefore, if I don't shave for a few days, I grow a perfectly formed goatee/moustache combo without any additional trimming. I also have hairy legs, which I trim using a 2mm ... trimmerthingy. I'm not a fan of shaving my legs, since when I do it's fairly obvious since I have very dark hair. I've tried waxing them before, but the ingrown hairs as it started to come back were a nightmare.

ok, wax legs, bikini line and under arms, have shaved, no good (woke up like a hedgehog, never again!!!) have epilated, not worth the time, wax is more efficent, used to use tweasers under my arms, it takes to long dont bother, altho i still pluck my eyebrows, have also used a chemical hair remover, worked fine, made the mistake of getting some of in on my jumper (didnt realise at the time) threw the jumper in the laundry bag, then after the wash had been though i discovered that three jumpers had holes burnt in them!!!! threw the chemical shit out and never touched it again, wax it is, i dont see why men dont wax their faces once a month, 12times a year abit of ouch and thats it, i know guys that wax their legs (i used to swim) and they were fine with that so boys can cope with the pain, (altho im having hell trying to convince my bf to wax his eyebrows). but yeah, Wax!

Personally I can not stand bodily hair on women or men. It really depends on the part of the body but I wax eybrows, legs and so on use cream or moose for arms sometimes legs and b/l and shave underarms.... I'm F by the way and I can not belove that any f would not shave/wax or so on - just to leave it eeekkk thats disgusting!

I used to use a mach3,but then i switched to an electric razor.its much faster and easier.and i always use aftershave or it stings like a biatch.i've never really considered shaving my legs,or my anywhere else for that matter.there are some places i just wont let a razor near.shudder

My spelling seems to get worse by the day!

Electric, Phillishave 7000quadra or somehting like that


and aftershave afterwards, strangely enuff unlikeone person^ it never stings...not with, not without, never...



^ignore all typos for i am Caesar of typos in typo land!^


Side note: Females SHOULD shave their legs... they dont have to but.....well...yes,.....i think a description of what those who dont look like.....watch the movie "Without a paddle"...fast forward until the part where the guys meet flower and butterfly i think it was...


side note #2: agreed with 77seven77 on this part: " I can not belove that any f would not shave/wax or so on - just to leave it eeekkk thats disgusting"

'so you mean your facial hair grows in all white trashy like that?'

God Bless Joe Dirt :D

I don't think we've EVER, in the history of NS, had a thread about shaving.

This mainly is directed toward men shaving their faces, but if women have facial hair coming out of their cheeks everyday, they can throw in their two cents as well. :D

Anyway, what do you guys use to shave, mostly? A razor or an electric razor? Any kind of aftershave?

Basically let's all try and help each other make shaving as painless and as quick as possible. Especially for me. :)

I have a full beard. I occasionally trim it, but I don't shave to the skin. I have a battery-powered beard trimmer. Braun is the name of the manufacturer.

Body hair is a flaw, same with facial hair.

If I don't chop it all off, I won't feel complete. Oh, and girls that don't shave are, if you ask me, extremely stupid and/or feminazis.

Oh, and girls that don't shave are, if you ask me, extremely stupid and/or feminazis.

Because that comment reflects so well on your intelligence. :rolleyes:

Well maybe dirty hippies can feel fine about their stinky, hairy balls but that's soo not cool. :p

Please tell me you dont have a freshly shorn scrotum....?

first thing that comes to my mind (even though I'm female) is Aqua Velva...campy 70's aftershave;)
I shave my legs, my pits, and the nether region

Mach3 is my instrument of suicide.


Thats what I use, though I hate paying that much for their replacement
blades. A straight razor is out of the question as I have a wife and kids. *L*

I usually only shave every three or four days, unless I have to make an appearance somewhere. That scruffy in a suit I dont care for. But in shorts and a t-shirt its fine till the neck itches.
If I do have to appear at the office/conference, I usually shave the night before and then go over again with the braun the next morning. I have coarse, fast growing hair and dont think nicks or blood on white collars looks cool.
I wash face/neck first with liquid soap, rinse with warm water then apply shaving cream to my still wet skin. I let it sit for a while while I do something else. This makes a big difference.
No after shave for me. I have a very sensitive sense of smell-the most mild colognes or after shaves sicken me.

*giggles*

I think you mean "chest" and "shoulders". And you shouldn't shave your chest - chest hair is hot!

O.K., I meant chest. But I didn't meant shoulders. I meant that long hairs under the arms. My dictionary came up with axles.

Still, nobody told me why people think different about leg and arm hairs.

Electric razors are of the devil. Mach 3 Turbo, Kiehl's shaving lotion and aftershave moisturizer

(Mach3 razors)

Thats what I use, though I hate paying that much for their replacement
blades. A straight razor is out of the question as I have a wife and kids. *L*

Yeah really... they could make those suckers out of pure gold, and the price probably wouldn't go up much. :D

Though I've read that if you can get the Mach3 refills cryo-treated, they'll last a heck of a lot longer before you'll need to change 'em out. I haven't tested this myself, tho. :)

And, IMO, smooth is nice, everywhere... :D

O.K., I meant chest. But I didn't meant shoulders. I meant that long hairs under the arms. My dictionary came up with axles.

Oh, "armpits" is the common term.

I did once, but not about the face..... :eek:

Anyway. For me it's definately razor under the shower. No aftershave.

Do you wear make up?Nope. I have, on occasion, and I use SPF15 lipbalm almost every day, but even if I wore a full face mask every day, it would still be an issue entirely seperate from shaving.
Make-up actually makes people look better, IMO. If it made me look better, I'd wear it (I think I'm so hot naturally that make-up cannot make me significantly hotter :D ). Most people think I wear make-up, even though I don't, so I don't see the point in wasting my money. Shaving and wearing make-up are not on the same level, though. You can wear make-up one day and then not again for a week, whereas if you do that with shaving, your legs feel like cacti. And last I checked, applying make-up rarely causes bleeding, and it is less time consuming, and cheaper (unless you go over board, or buy new mascara ever six months like the Man tells you to).

Did anybody ever wondered why people shave there legs but nobody shaves his arms for aestetic reasons? :confused:Oh, people do, but we never hear about them because shaving your arms is a sure sign of insanity, and these people are already on the fast-track to being locked up in a rubber room. :p
Seriousl, though, my sister took nair to her arms a few times.

Nope. I have, on occasion, and I use SPF15 lipbalm almost every day, but even if I wore a full face mask every day, it would still be an issue entirely seperate from shaving.
Make-up actually makes people look better, IMO. If it made me look better, I'd wear it (I think I'm so hot naturally that make-up cannot make me significantly hotter :D ). Most people think I wear make-up, even though I don't, so I don't see the point in wasting my money. Shaving and wearing make-up are not on the same level, though. You can wear make-up one day and then not again for a week, whereas if you do that with shaving, your legs feel like cacti. And last I checked, applying make-up rarely causes bleeding, and it is less time consuming, and cheaper (unless you go over board, or buy new mascara ever six months like the Man tells you to).

Tell me I'm not the MAN you're rebelling against,please?

Tell me I'm not the MAN you're rebelling against,please?There is no man. It's the Man, of whom I speak. Society, in other words.

Two question test to determine if you are the Man:
1. Are you trying to "keep me down"?
2. Have I recently "socked it to" you?
If the answer to either of these questions is yes, then you are the Man. :)

Please tell me you dont have a freshly shorn scrotum....?It's breathtaking. (No, I don't really have one.)

I have a full beard, but I shape it with a Schick triple blade disposable, and trim it with a Wahl Beard and Mustache trimmer.

I dont want to keep you down. Maybe just hold you down for a little while-till your pulse returns to normal and your toes stop curling.

I am still waiting for you to sock it to me.

I've had a goatee-I grow one almost once every three days and then shave it off, sometimes shave around it.
I've grown a beard that I kept trimmed close to my jaw line.

I've always tried to keep it off of my neck. I once spent a great deal of time away from modern comforts and could'nt wait to have a full, regular shower with soap and then shave off the itchy neck beard.
My beard seems to come in really coarse and is so uncomfortable on my neck its distracting at times.

Well then, we'll get along famously.

Would you have the nerves to lash me with a bamboo cane?


Hey-wait-this is the shaving thread!!!

Ah, this thread would bring shame upon me, if y'all could see my face. Eighteen and I only have to shave about once a week :( Damn you all and your follicular fantasticness :p

Count your lucky stars! Shaving is such a bitch.

Odd considering I'm 15 and I have to shave once a day in order to stay clean shaven. Anything more than 24 hours and I can feel it all coming back.

Yeah well, I'm never going to take an active interest in it - I'll never buy anything made by Wahl, for example :p I was planning on just leaving it kinda rough when I've actually got half-decent facial hair, just short of the hobo look ;)

Yes, I know plenty of people who were like this at 14 and 15, even earlier sometimes. You have to bear in mind that my voice broke at 16. I've been generally a little...late in the whole process. :(

18 really is nothing. It'll grow in over the next few years. It did for me, at least.

I shave my lowers. And I am a guy. Its not a big deal, hair grows in many places and it needs to be demolished.

Well, my father just have to shave every two weeks and he's 59.
Just don't tell him that I had told you. ;)

Christ, that is infrequent. My dad's about that old and he gets a 10 am shadow. And he shaves when he gets to work :p

Shaving gel in the shower.
Disposable razor with a pivoting head. Trust me. The pivoting head is important. Eliminates all sorts of bleeding and makes the shave closer in a lot of places.

Sometimes aftershave. Sometimes not.

That's the biggest reason I have to keep it off my neck--that and it looks messy as hell--but if you can get past the fifth or sixth day, I've found, the itchiness goes away. I'm keeping a much closer eye on it now because I'm in south Florida and it gets so damn hot here, and sweat collects in it and drips. Yeaaaach.

Razor for me (not disposable) with either shaving oil or shaving cream from a tube. I stand in front of the mirror & when I'm finished I usually put on some aftershave. I don't much like the electric shavers.

Razor and soap, quick, easy, and painless.
