My wife got me a Braun Activator (http://www.braun.com/na/products/shavinggrooming/dryshaving/dryshaving/activator.html) for Christmas. Up until now, I've never used an electric shaver. So far, I'm getting used to it, but I think I like it. It seems to take longer but there's no mess.
What do you use?
-
I use a razor, Mach 3. For my legs I use a lady bic.
-
barbasol creme and a good ol fashioned dull as anything sorry excuse for a razor. chicks dig the brett favre look as well as the funky white boy look.
-
'Walking in to Bathroom......'
'coming back.....
Ok , it looks to be a Schick "Xtreme 3" Razor.
-
Had one of those Remington things for years, one day it malfunctioned and literaly sanding my chin..ouch! Went to a Sensor after that....now Im using those disposable Gillete 3 things.
Someday, someone will invent a 3 blade razer with that plastic insert piece, so you can push it to shove the debris out rinse it out.
I havent gone back to electric since, although some of the self-cleaning Brauns look good. Just cant see spending $100-$179 for one.
-
The only problem I had with electrics was that the shaving cream seemed to clog it up pretty quicky.
-
You guys shave your wussy?lol!!!
I shave my beard with a knife.
-
Epi-lady. Ain't nothin' like the hum of a coiled spring to get the blood pumpin'!
-
Mach 3 Turbo, in the shower, no shaving cream.

Don't have this problem with the Braun. It's a dry shaver.
-
I was kidding anyway :)
How do you like that new shaver?
-
It's closer than a blade. When I first started using it, I bled a bit. First couple of days it really seemed to irritate my face, but I'm getting used to it.
-
wow, if you bled it sounds like the thing gives a close shave. I've heard when you start to use an electric, you get some irritation at first.
I wouldn't mind trying one.
-
It's left some welts on my face, and I've managed to nick a few places on my neck. Doesn't bleed like a razor when it bites you, but it gets your attention. :)
-
All I've ever used is an electric shaver. Works great. Never used blades.
-
Ra-sor .... Ra-sor

I stopped using an electric when I was in boot camp. Could'nt pass inspection.

Shaver.. just for the fact I've never had to use a razor yet.
I wouldn't like to commit a suicide by slicing myself with a razor, get those things away from me :D
-
Mach 3. But I have my Swiss Army knife so sharp that I've had to use it on 3 occasions.
-
Razor only nothing else but edge gel and in the shower. On occasion my SOG Pentagon Elite fills in when the razors (Mach 3 or Schick Xtreme 3) costs too much.
-
I use a "sensor" razor, mug shaving soap and brush. Electrics never could do the job as well as a razor in my experiance
-
I have to admit... I don't have much of a beard. Takes me a good month or so to grow one.
-
both

LMFAO. I've done this since I started shaving at the tender age of 14, of course, I had to use the "new fangled" Gilette at the time.
Cool to see someone else do that though. <> Saw, now get back into the MA sometime, I miss Ecke and yourself.

Thanks for this post, you reminded me I need to pick up some Mach 3 blades at lunch. Oh and in the shower no foam.
-
I use a lighter and zippo gasoline, its quick and refreshing.
And it all get off my face. :D

You're joking, right ?
Mach3 here as well, but i leave my legs alone :D
-
I gave up on either, takes too much time
-
I got one of the Brauns with the automatic cleaner...suffered with it for a couple of months, then sold it. It never stopped irritating the hell out of my face and giving me nasty razor burn. Ouch. When I do shave now, I think it's a Mach 3.
-
Mach 3 and cheap shave cream.
Didn't Nash start a thread on this a while back?
-
electric
-
I'm with Karaya and Saintaw on this one, in the shower, no shaving cream.
As far as the razor?....whatever-the-hell my wife uses. Gave up trying to have my own razor a few years ago.
-
Mach 3 and put water on my face from the faucet.

Add to poll:
do you shave daily?
it takes me at least 2-3 days to grow enough facial hair to shave properly. even then there are parts of my face no hair grows at all no matter what.
this at 31 years old.
i am 1/8 cherokee indian, so i assume that's where the patchy light facial hair comes in.

Razor - Mach 3

Hurry up and decide you fools, I need to shave bad!

I could almost do with shaving twice a day.
As for razor, depends on how tired I am. If I'm in a hurry, electric shaver. Don't particularly like it though. Feels like it's tearing the hair off my cheeks. As long as I've got the time, Mach3 Power for the face & a braun electric trimmer for the goatee & sideburns.
My entire morning routine at this point needs to be charged. Shaver, trimmer, toothbrush, dryer, etc, etc..
-
I just take off all the attachments of the beard/mustache trimmer and use that. I have a beard so there isn't a whole lot I have to shave.
-
razor user, right now with Gillette Sensor3.
but i plan to get an electric shaver, just for the quickys.
