Venti Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Cheers, will give this a shot. Sure there was a similar thread on here a while back, and someone recommended applying some conditioner prior to using the shaving foam. I just usually put the shaving foam/gel on & leave it for about 2/3mins & then shave dipping the razor in hot water. Like I said using cold water to rinse. Also resist the temptation to use a moisturiser. Works a treat for people with irritable skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I shave once a week if I'm going out, in the week it gets pretty long so I put a trimmer over it and then do a clean/wet shave after it. The best way. Doesn't f**k your skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I much prefer a wet shave. Get a much closer cut and probably takes me less time than my Philips. That said, I've discovered that the neglected electric razor which I got last Christmas is exceptionally handy for the wee 2x2cm bit between my bottom lip and chin. I nicked it years back (my chin, not the razor) and after that I had the Catch 22 situation of catching the healed bump, only for it to bleed (seemingly) forever and then become a bigger one which will burst with the slightest of blade contact. No longer an issue so in summary: Wet shave / electric razor combo FTW. Eta: El cheapo Co-op shaving gel is probably my favourite. I genuinely prefer it to any of the Gillette stuff which is 3x the price. ...additionally (because it was always just a matter of time until this was mentioned), I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturiser, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturising protective lotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavin_3110 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I usually wet shave every 2 or 3 days, but it's a right hassle. I've got two electric shavers, one is an expensive thing which was about £80 and is shite, the other is a Braun pocket shaver which cost a tenner and is actually better, not as close as a wet shave but fine if in a hurry.

JogaBonito Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Used to have one of those Philip electric shavers with the three circular bits, but cleaning it was a hassle. And it was an absolute bitch when it catches one or two loose hairs. Quick wet shave every other day now. Still to move on to a double-edge razor: apparently they're the dog's bollocks.

Is that the one you have to flip the bit of plastic round to get the batteries/turn it on, and slide the button thing up to turn it on? If so, I have that and it doesn't seem to actually shave anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullywee Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 See when people say they shave because they don't want to look like a terrorist; are they not basically saying that they don't want to look like a Muslim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a beard in my passport photo. At Amsterdam Schiphol last year I was asked if I was a member of al-Qaeda. I said no and got away with it.

CLANCY2KTID Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Phillips AquaTouch is the future, best of both worlds. Took me ages to find a decent leccy shaving machine thingy. Edit to say, that's an electric razor that you still "wet shave" with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 The recent trend of beard growing has been an absolute godsend for ugly folk. They try to make out that they are manly when everyone knows that they are just covering up their horrific coupon with face pubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
