Title: Poll: Razor or Shaver?
Post by: Sandman on January 12, 2005, 11:03:16 PM
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?

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.

Don't have this problem with the Braun. It's a dry shaver.

I was kidding anyway :)

How do you like that new shaver?
Title: Poll: Razor or Shaver?
Post by: Sandman on January 12, 2005, 11:54:25 PM
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.

Post by: NUKE on January 13, 2005, 12:04:35 AM
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.
Title: Poll: Razor or Shaver?
Post by: Sandman on January 13, 2005, 12:08:50 AM
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Had an electric and it was ok tell it got dull.
