Default Wet shaving

I was looking for a new "hobby" and came up with the good old art of shaving. I purchased a safety razor, brush, pre shave, shave cream,after shave,brush etc.....

Anyone else into this?

I did my first shave last night.....only minor hacking of skin

and for the records, yes i am always OT.

No straight razor for me. I use a razor and shaving cream when I shave though. I don't think an electric gets close enough. Of course I use an electric trimmer for my beard and sideburns.

I don't always shave, but when I do, I use women's razors. They're more gentle on my dainty boyish skin.

I just use an electric razor because I'm a pussy lazy.

when I'm lazy - Electric
When I want to look super smooth - razor and shaving cream
When I'm in a hurry and the f@#king electric is dead because I haven't charged it in a week - dry shave

I can only shave with a razor & shaving cream, my face would turn to blood if I tried to dry shave.


Never tried the fancy shaving stuff, perhaps I should, although my skin is uber sensitive.

Wait a sec... where are we talking about shaving now...




Another question: Do you shave before, after, or in the shower?
