Shaving

jester77

Brothers as you know shaving takes some effort, something us brothers are not very noted for. So what's a man to do?

I've tried letting it grow but it gets itchy and I get spots. I've tried the electric razor while lying on the couch with a beer but I get a bothersome rash. I've reached the fine line balance of how long to leave it before it gets bothersome and 4 days seems to be the limit. But even every 4 days is too often for me, especially when you try shaving with a hangover!

Then there is the price of the blades. For the same price as a pack of blades I can get a crate of quality beer (10 liters), a kebab and still have some change left for munchies! Dilemma or what!

The itchiness actually goes away after a short while. So laziness all the way.

But how long? I've managed just over 2 weeks before I caved in!

First time you go without shaving it will itch like crazy. But if you give it, say, two weeks and then shave again (and start with the non-shaving again!) it should be somewhat better.

Might depend on skin type and other wimmins' stuff.

True, but if they're mad at you it could get messy...

Indeed a good point, but I just buy her a new sweeping brush every week to keep her happy..wimmin folk are quite easy to please unless you do something which is ''taboo'' in their eyes, i.e flatulate on them in bed..:rolleyes:

Would immac work or would you end up with stretch marks on your face?

I shave once a week. That means it never gets to the itchy stage, but isn't so much of an effort either.

i find the once a week tough going, there's quite a bit of shaving involved in getting rid of it plus the blade is pretty much useless after it!

Has anyone tried the barber option? If only I was loaded

I generally incorporate all my shaving together, So I start with the head razor and shave all my head apart from goatee, then electric razor on face (having used the head shaver prior this should be alot easier), then wet shave. Then this time next week repeat process

Once, a number of years ago. It was a nice treat and being the lazy b*st*rd I am it was good to let someone else do the work. However, close and all as the shave was, I still felt like I would have needed another swipe of a razor if I'd been going somewhere respectable that evening.

I hate shaving, but I hate facial hair even more so the longest I've ever gone without shaving is a week when I was in hospital last year. I wasn't really inclined to want to shave the first few days, and then successive visitors kept forgetting to bring in my razor. I looked like a feckin' yeti by the end of the week and shaving it all off was a deeply unpleasant experience. The blade had to go straight into the bin after that.

I like to shave with a blunt machete and have some petrol for moisturiser afterwards.

Embrace the beard gentlemen, I used to shave daily, then I stretched it out to weekly then fortnightly and eventualy I just removed teh mirror in the bathroom, Problem solved.
