currently using a wilkinson with the same brand shaving cream, seems to work well though i want to try out a tenpack like echoepidemic posted

the importance of beard prep and post shave clean up can't be stressed enough. it really helped me get better/cleaner shaves and less irritated skin

[lak]

+ scrub beforehand to get the hairs up and you'll get a really clean shave.

You guys should really consider getting into shaving! Over the last 3 years it's become one of the best parts of my day. I normally use a straight razor, but my college doesn't allow them. This is a Gillette Tech previously owed by my grandfather. I only use Feather blades. They're made in Japan and they're the best. I brought 2 shaving creams with me (Truefitt and Hill and Trumpers) and 1 shaving soap (The Art of Shaving). I also love the Taylor of Old Bond Street line of products. They're cheaper and come in a nice variety of fragrances. My brush is a fairly cheap Vulfix Old Original. I'll probably get a nicer brush eventually, but I do really like it. Anyway, that's all I have to say.

couple days i got my first cut with my safety razor. directly on my lip, man that was bleeding like a motherfucker

that's what you get for not paying attention

[gruntle]

Ordered the Merkur future and some Proraso shaving cream a few days ago. Need to pick up some blades before they arrive.

[cord13]

I was going to revive this thread a few weeks ago when I got my DE razor, but completely forgot.

anyway...

still using the canned gilette crap. am planning to get a brush and decent soap eventually.

I dont know what it is but shaving is a painful thing for me. My beard hairs grow out in all different directions. I feel like the only non-painful way for me to shave is in the shower with steaming hot water. I use a mach 3 and just some regular gillete shaving cream. Any suggestions for a fucked up beard?

If you're not interested in upgrading your razor or shaving cream I would recommend making sure you have hot water on your face for at least 5 minutes before you start shaving. This takes the hair from something like a wire to something more like a piece of spaghetti. You can slice instead of tug the hair that way.

You might also try using your regular conditioner instead of shaving cream. I put conditioner on my face in the shower before a shave even though I also use cream/brush. A lot of girls also use conditioner on their legs instead of shaving cream and they're legs have always been soft in my experiences.

I always use witch hazel and an after shave lotion with little to no alcohol post shave. Gets rid of irritation and keeps your face moisturized.

Just today I inherited my grandfather's Pre-Gillette takeover 7 O'Clock open-comb DE razor with a pack of vintage Wilkinson blades. Apparently this thing is from the 1940's. Currently soaking it to remove any residual soapscum. Will post pictures in the near future.

[jyoni]

What do you use?

My wife, my "pokemon," wants to get me a new wet-dry electric.

I keep telling that fucker that I already have a nice one. It's a Remington Sport that is bright yellow, from bitd. Same replacement blades as you can go to Walgreen's and buy right now. You can lather up in the shower and buzz that thing right under the spray. It is second only to another man wrapping your face with towels and then shaving you.

What is your technique.

[Magsåvningsreserven]

clipper every other month. #idgaf.

[Hallock]

DE w/ brush. Everything else hurts like fuck.

[conqueror]

if i wanted to be clean shaven, i would have to shave everyday but i usually do it every every second:

schick hydro 3 + nivea sensitive shaving gel.

[baconzilla]

^yeah I use that nivea stuff as well. Got a can for free from my gym and haven't stopped using it since then.

plus this:

With a Gillette Fusion. Wash that shit down with a Rock Star fruit punch. I've got a really thick, coarse beard that grows in diff directions, so anything else leaves me with irritated skin.

[joelz]

where are you guys getting the straight razors and blades? how much should you be paying?

[jyoni]

clipper every other month. #idgaf.

I'd love to do this but my cheek hairs grow in patches. Looks horrible.
