Who hates shaving?

Post Reply New Topic

There's a lotta decent new razors out now. While I enjoy DE shaving and have it as a hobby (I own two brushes and soap) I usually just treat my DE like any other razor. Put Barbasol on, 2 pass, done.

For some really cheap razors...
Dorco PL-602, like $4, all plastic, feels a bit like a disposable, might be good as an intro razor. Little aggressive blade angle for my taste.

Rimei, Chinese razor, like $5, built quite nice, all metal. Pretty mild.

Weishi 9306, heavier razor (not extremely, though), about $15. Very mild smooth shaver. I believe a mild razor is the easiest transition from cartridges.

For a bit more money for a mild razor, the Feather Popular. Like $15-25. Japanese razor, supposedly very mild.

The Lord L6 is Egyptian, about $10. Gillette Tech clone. Very highly regarded.

Even an older Gillette Superspeed or Tech doesn't really run much more than 10-20 for a user grade one (not shiny, but works.) A good place to find one is on badgerandblade.com classifieds.

Most people with double edge shaving turn it into some giant expensive hobby, but there's no need to. The reason the razors are still being made is because people in third world countries can't afford the new cartridge razors. Blades for most brands run about 10-15c per blade. I've had good luck with Astra blades, Gillette manufactured in Russia. So generally you buy a box of a hundred blades for like $13 shipped, and you got enough to last a year of shaving. You can get away with using your normal cream and whatnot, or you can try soap. Walmart sells decent shave soap for like 1.50 a puck.

Ugh I hate shaving. The feeling of a razor across my face is terrible, and daily maintenance? No thank you. I just take the clippers to my whole face/head once a week or so and call it good.

I do! I do! Ugh!

The only thing I hate more than shaving is not shaving for a while and having hairy legs itching me all the time.

I've never liked shaving, it's such a pain when your school forbids what they considered an "overgrowth" of facial hair and you don't have a religious purpose for being able to grow a beard. But looking up on some possible styles of facial hair, I found this one style that I liked since it doesn't look too dirty but at the same time, it's kind of scruffy. Grown my scruffy beard for almost a week now and it's not looking half bad, especially since it's not actually a beard but it looks like I have a permanent 5 o' clock shadow. :p

Sadly, I'll have to probably shave it on Wednesday so that I don't have too much facial hair next Tuesday for my second day of class. College is gonna strange indeed. :3

Hehe.

I don't like shaving, primarily because it's a waste of time. I only shave when I see my boyfriend (every 2 months or so).

I hate shaving! We girls are expected to shave EVERYTHING, it takes up so much time! And I'm so clumsy, I always miss a spot, which I will then continue to obsessively pick and touch. I don't really get cut all that often, and when I do I don't mind it much - often I don't even notice. I just don't shave my legs unless I have to (in summer I usually shave them every other day), and when I have to I often also shave my arms because I'm hairy, I just shave under my arms and in the bikini area, both for hygiene. I really don't see why I would shave my legs in winter, leg hair isn't unhygienic, and if nobody is going to see it, why bother.

On different note, I think old fashion mens razors are really pretty, especially the straight razors. I also like the look of old fashioned double edge blades, and at some point started considering shaving my legs with those, because I was SHOCKED to find out one could buy about 10 double edge blades for the price of one fancy ladies cardridge (I don't use fancy ones any more, who needs fancy *razors*?)

I hate shaving, and when I shave, I do it so thoroughly it usually takes 15 minutes. I normally shave only my face and neck, sometimes armpits and bottom parts rear and front (I'm a male).

I hate shaving but i hate having facial hair even more.

Talk about a no win situation.

Yes. I can't stand shaving. The main reason why I hate it so much is because I have really think mustache hair and it usually pulls the hair and hurts when I try and it's really painful. On a side note, I also can't stand stumpy mustache hair that starts to grow back right after you shave. It's so irritating that I end up picking and playing with it.

I haven't learned to shave. I use the sort of trimmer used to cut hair to cut my facial hair (which is a little bit of fluff on my chin and a barely-noticeable moustache). I suppose I'd prefer to be clean shaven.
