Thread: Method of shaving

  1. #1

    Default Method of shaving

    For guys(or some girls) who shave their face and for girls(or some guys) who shave their legs...electric or manual? Shaving cream or not?

    I use a manual razor, the Schick Quattro. Very nice, four blades, and everything. It does a better job than the Gilette Mach 3, but not much better. I'm thinking of getting the new Mach3 Power(since I'm obsessed with the color green)...but the use of batteries for a manual razor might be a bit odd.

    I use the Mach3. Since the strip has moisturizer on it sometimes I won't use shaving cream. If I don't shave for few days I'll use shaving cream, though.

    I manually shave with a gillette sensor excell. I have to use shaving cream or it feels like I'm ripping my skin off. I shaved my legs once, lets not go there...

    I'm allergic to shaving cream; so I always shave with hot water only.

    I shave with both. Hit it with Electric then do touch ups with razor. As for shaving cream...why? it just gets in the way. Water rulez.

    I've been using a Phillishave electric razor, but I really only use it to tidy up my beard...it creeps up a little further than I like.

    I've stopped shaving my neck, it's too much of a pain to keep it neat. It now takes me about 15 seconds to shave, including spraying oil into the razor

    I only shave my legs (thanks) so when I do...it's manually, with...venus, or gilette. Although I'm allergic to practically everything I use. No matter what I do/use, I always end up with lots of little red bumps that itch really badly.

    I used an electric one for awhile, but it's complete crap, in my opinion.

    I shave my legs and underarms manually, and use either the Gilette SensorExcel for Women or the whatever brand the Venus razor is, along with Skintimate (or comparable knock off depending on my poorness at the time) shave gel with vitamin E and aloe. Sometimes I wax, but only places I'm not talking about here and now.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    The only difference is, I always wait a few days.

    I shave manually, with a Venus razor (that thing is a God-send, I rarely, if ever, cut myself with it) and shaving cream. My legs are too sensitive to do otherwise.

    Gillette, Mach 3. Edge shaving cream. Gets the job done, you understand.

    Some crappy no-name manual two-bladed razor with a bunch of equally inexpensive replacement blades that don't even have gel on them and no shaving cream, just water. I'm lazy and cheap like that.

    gillette mach.. 3 I guess. It's the newer one with the battery in it that makes it do stuff? It works.

    That's the Mach 3 Power.

    To the extreme.
