Shaving

[mbillie1]

Brag: I have a steady girlfriend for 2+ years and no real job so I don't have to shave... I shave only when I get itchy. It pretty much rules and I recommend it whole-heartedly.

I find that I can never get a close shave without going against the grain.

I have the gillete fusion, a waste of money. The sales pitch got me i guess because ive actually had better shavers than this. The single blade is actually a waste. It isnt good at all and really not neccessary. Theres better out there, dont fall for the sales pitch

I've got sensitive skin, and always used a Mach 3 before I switched. It was still really irritating, and I never thought I got a good shave. Part of that was because it just plain hurt way too much to go against the grain.

Using a real razor ( THIS is the one I have), along with good shaving cream (I like THIS stuff, the fresh lime scent is awesome), and applying with a real brush (I have THIS one), I get such better results I'd never dream of going back. It cost about $80 to get the stuff I needed. But, once you get the stuff, it's much cheaper than buying Mach 3 cartridges (platinum razor blades are not expensive, the shaving cream lasts FOREVER). It takes longer, but the shave is so much closer, and much less irritating. I can even shave against the grain now, no problem. It takes longer, but it's worth it to me.

If you're interested, read THIS article, or Google "wet-shaving" to learn more. This article got me started, and has good info. There are lots of good websites out there too.

Bookmarked.

How bad are the cuts from those things? The only cut I've had from mach 3 was 3-4 years ago and it was a tiny line. Now worst I get is nicks (usually after 3 consecutive days of close shaving)
