Lost art of manly-ness?

[VonMessa]

I'm not quite 36 years old, and I just can't seem to find too many people in my age group that still shave with a cutthroat.   

I've destroyed 2 electric razors.

Disposable/changeable blades last 2 shaves, tops.

There is only one way I've found that gives a clean, close shave every time without wasting a lot of money.





So...   Show of hands....

How many of you guys use an electric razor ?

How many slather brand X shaving cream out of a can on their face and attack it with a disposable style?

How many make a ritual of a hot towel, foaming up your own lather then strop and drag a naked blade of cold, hard, razor sharp steel across your throat?

[gyrene81]

Used to use my K-Bar for shaving but...a Norelco with titanium blades works now. Can't use disposables.

[Blooz]

No razor at all here. Haven't shaved since 1997.

Just trim the beard up a bit every now and then with clippers.

So you like your men clean shaven Von?

Dude! Be careful, that thing will slice your back up with a quickness 

[ozrocker]

Does good work for me.

I recently upgraded from the mach3 to the fusion as well.  Love it.

[Jayhawk]

Fusion as well, I've always wanted to use a straight razor but don't go through blades fast enough to justify the initial cost of a good straight edge and accessories.

[Gaidin]

Fusion for me most times too, because I really don't have the time to do it with the old straight razor.  On occasion when I do have the time, I break out the strap/razor/lather/hot towel and give myself a good close shave with it.

Just really don't have that much time on a normal basis.

[phatzo]

I have a beard but shave my head with clippers.

[Dragon]

Mach 3.  Son uses Fusion.

[JunkyII]

When Im in garrison I use my Fusion.



When Im in the field I get my manliness level up there a bit.

I use barbasol shaving cream, a disposable razor, and fill my canteen cup up with water from the water buffalo. After Im done shaving I dump the canteen cup out and make my moring coffee if I was lucky enough to get a coffe pack the day before in my MRE.
