somehow this situation is highly ironical... here i am who rarely shaves and mostly i just use a wahl trimmer..and here's Gatto..a girl who uses a Razor.

no offense but i find it fundamentally wrong

 

[monolith]

Highly ironical indeed.

 

[Gatto]

Also the girl who plays video games and spends more money on audio gear any of the men I know

Anything that'd make my morning ritual of agony, to be less agonizing, would be welcome.

Eventually I'm just going to get it all permanently removed and be done with it. Expensive though.

Grats Gatto!

I bought some stuff from someone on Gadger n Blade. Took him over 5 days to ship after paying though

I should have my stuff Tuesday. Really looking forward to it!

Syn, are you talking about electrolysis? I saw a sight that sold a home use device for about $40. Let me go find the link.

Edit: found it. There are 2 actually

Edit2: I wanted to explain why I saw these. I was looking for seamless combs (I have long hair)

Wow, I can't believe I missed this thread. I've been wet shaving for almost a year now and have never looked back or even considered going back.

I've got a Merkur HD and an offname brush. Several good TOBS creams and an assortment of other creams. If anyone wants any suggestions on trying creams, just let me know as I've tried a whole lot of them. While some prefer soaps I find creams easier to use and usually get better lathers, but I do have some soaps. Good call on the west coast sampler pack. I got the $23 (at the time) pack and it's really let me see which blades are for me and which aren't.

Badger and Blade is a great resource. You'll find lots of knowledgeable people there (I'm a member myself) and all of them are helpful and friendly. Pretty similar to what you'll find around these parts.

I recently switched from Mach 3 to Fusion and noticed a huge difference. Am I missing out on even more?

The razor is only part of it. What is your prep routine? Getting the face and whiskers ready to be cut off if one of the most important parts. Do you ever get irritation or ingrown hairs? How smooth do you shave?

 

[Gatto]

I just convinced my boyfriend to shave with my DE, he liked it but said it took too long... pfft

 

[Baines93]

It feels nice, and works better.

Don't know whether I will continue when I have to shave everyday. I guess it would be nicer when you are starting the day with it everyday so maybe i would continue, but does take time.

Currently I like starting my Saturday mornings with a nice shave.

Tell him how much you like it when he does it. Then he'll do it everyday!

 

[Gatto]

I want him to learn to use a straight, that is just sexy.

You are indeed!

Just read this thread and you will find out that most of us think wetshaving (with a DE) is a whole different experience than shaving with a cartridge razor.

Hmm, I've only used a cartridge razor before. So maybe I'll try it if/when I shave my beard off

At the moment I'm getting quite scruffy, I haven't shaved (bar my neck) or had a haircut for around a year... This is quite a long way to go for me too, I used to shave daily and pay for very nice haircuts (most girls though I was crazy spending the amount I did...).

 

[kugino]

don't forget to take the blade out of your razor before you go through check-in at the airport! they made me take out the blade from my merkur in boston...perhaps that sounds obvious, but it's the first time i've had to do that at any airport and i've flown a lot with my toiletry bag in my carry-on. go figure.
