Re: Shaving
@ Reliant:
1 - IDK if this was the issue, but make sure you use relatively fresh blades. I know that modern multi-blade refills are ridiculously expensive (I just paid over $4 per blade) but you tend to get cuts from old blades, not new ones.
2 - Not a lot of drug stores ("chemists") carry them over here anymore, but find yourself a styptic pencil. One of the greatest inventions known to man.

Yeah, those are really handy.

Twas brand new head. Well, used once, but effectively brand new.

Re: Shaving
I use soap for when I shave, its much easier to see where the blade is then so you don't run across the underside of your nose or cut your lips with it.

Re: Shaving
I decided to grow my 'stach and goatee back. It brings a whole new complication to shaving in the morning, when your barely awake. It's alot like coloring with crayons....you've got to stay in the lines.

I find mine to be a time-saver, not to mention keeping me from having to do the hardest contour on my face.Mark wrote:I decided to grow my 'stach and goatee back.

Re: Shaving
I shave in the shower. Saves me time. The problem though is I go through the razors (Fusion) faster because the shower has a tendency to wash off the lubricant off of the razor head.

Re: Shaving
True, but it also keeps your beard set up really nicely.

Re: Shaving
That is true. Though you do need a mirror or at least a half way decent system of shaving in a shower so you don't make your sideburns uneven or totally miss a spot.

Re: Shaving
That's why i stopped shaving in the shower - I couldn't find a "fogless" mirror that would stay fogless for more than a month or so.McAvoy wrote:That is true.
