A few years ago I would have completely agreed with you. However, I have sensitive skin and I found that wet shaving greatly reduced any rash or inflammation that I normally got with my Mach3 and Goo-Can.
I went back to the ol' Mach3 about two months after I started wet shaving due to time constraints and sure enough - rash, razor burn and bleeding galore. Not all the time mind you, but I did get it very often.
Now, I am back into wet shaving and doing it right. I'm surprised if I even bleed now and no more rash or razor burn. Sure it takes longer (~30 min for me) but the results are worth it for me.
However, in all honesty, I wish I could use an electric as you do. Consider yourself lucky.

I would have thought common the reaction to this thread would have been, "Get real, dude. Whatever whiskers you miss in your shave one morning will be there the next morning. You'll get another chance to cut them before they grow too much." But no, instead, everyone jumped in with pics of their own man makeup and a long discussion ensued about how best to make the bubbles and froth, what brand names of brushes they use, etc. Get real. It's just facial hair. I take maybe 3-4 minutes to deal with it each morning with my electric razor and a dry face. No "products" of any kind required. Anything more than that is simply self adoration in my view. To me, shaving is and will always be one of the 3 s's: sh!t, shower and shave. What's next? A thread about the morning dump and how best to protect your butt hair from the unwelcome invasion of Mr. Toilet Paper? Or do you shave that too? I give up... |
