You sir suck at shaving. I'd advise some liquid Vitamin E for your cuts though, it really reduces scarring. My manager took a spill on his motor cycle, treated his road rash with Vitamin E and no scars at all from it.

Well, I've just started (I'm 16), so I think I have an excuse :D.

Thanks for the tip, though :thumbsup:

don't slide it on your face...

I just don't understand how people cut themselves shaving. I can use a month old blade that's half rusted and I still don't get how people do it. They should teach this stuff in schools or something.

sames, I just use water...

No wonder why you have a high post count...you just made four posts in a row in the same thread...

Well how it works is I read a post quote it and reply.. I then continue down and find another post I want to respond to and so on..

wtf... laser removel? no fvckin way... i am a hairy bastard but its understandable, i am turkish. there's no way i would get my facial hair permanently removed though, its there to stay cause i sometimes like to grow it a little (like 2-3 days, trust me, my 2-3 days is like your 1.5 - 2 weeks)... and Loke, are you nuts? getting hair removed off your ass with laser? two things: 1. i'd never open my ass wide open infront of nobody, 2. i'd never let a laser beam get anywhere close to my nuts... no way!

yeah shaving makes it feel funny to walk a few days after.

I don't mind shaving now with these power razor mach III whatever, I used to get some razor burn on my neck (coarse beard), but now it's never happened, use the same gel and routine...just the razor vibrates. I went from mach III to Mach III power. I have used those throw away bics a couple years ago on a trip and I was in HELL!.

However, I'd never lazer my face...it'd be like getting a permanent hair style to last you through life.

Currently I wear a goatee, 10 years ago it didn't look good, now it fits.

If anyone knows a cheap parrot for sale let me know, needs to be able to sit on a shoulder in high winds and rain.


HAR!

Mach III Turbo or M3Power are good. I tried using the top of the line Braun and it just irritated my face - gave that to my younger bro who loves it.

Different face = different shaving solutions.

BTW, i just use warm/hot water. No bull like shaving cream or soap :p

The trick to shaving, is not doing it.
The beard keeps the face warm in the winter, it also keeps the sun from burning your face in the summer. It's a win-win situation!

Thats why you should leave a landing strip in a 'V' pattern.

The only time i ever cut myself shaving is on spots (yes at 21 i am still plagued). Don't quite understand how you could cut yourself otherwise. I tend to do it only at times when it is really unfortunate as well. Last time I cut myself I was in a DJ on the way to a formal, blood dripped right onto my dress shirt... yes i know, Noob mistake.

:thumbsup:

I hate shaving as well. So I've stopped. I just use a beard/moustache trimmer and keep a short beard all the time. But I will probably have to do something else when I graduate in a year and a half since FOR SOME REASON FACIAL HAIR IS EVIL when you're young and applying for jobs.

seriously, i am 1/2 german and grow a decent amount in 2-3 days.

it doesn't really even hurt if it is done correctly, but it is nice for areas that you would not want hair.

personally i wouldn't do the ass stuff unless my wife did it, but quite a few men do get the whole package done, even up the shaft :Q

as i said there's no way i am gonna leave my ass open infront of the doctor and his team for grabs... and no way i am gonna let a laser beam get closer than 10 inches to my manhood :)
