Do you wet shave?

[spence]

Always wet shave

Electric stubble trimmer on shortest length on Sunday evening. Grows back over the week. Repeat.

I wet shave every weekday, but not weekends. I use a brush and fancy shaving cream, just to try to keep things interesting and slightly pretentious. Problem is, a tub of shaving cream lasts so long that it soon gets boring again. However, I like the ritual and it's better for your skin than the stuff out of the aerosols.

Years a go I switched to sensitive skin shaving foam, which is the same cost, and it stopped that reaction.

Oh? Well, I'll have to give that a go then. Thanks...

Yes. Once a week. I'm a 31 year old with the facial hair of a young teen.

i once had my bollocks shaved by a korean prostitute ......bloody fantastic......

Always wet shaved until 3 months ago and gave the Philips One Blade a try.
It doesn't absolutely give a pristine smooth clean shave, but it's damn good, and bloody quick too.

I do wet shave, and I think it's ridiculous the price they charge for replacement razor blades (those Gillette style ones).... I think there is definitely scope for new players to enter the market and thrive.

I think the same, but having used the 'Cornerstone' alternative I am staying with Gillette, unfortunately for my wallet.

I use a Gillette Fusion but did once use a disposable while on holiday, never again. Does any body still use the old fashioned screw top razors that you put the blade in.?

Tried wet once at 15/16 and cut myself a few times - dry electric now for over 40 years ...

I too once had my bo11ocks shaved - was prep for a vasectomy and the missus did it - she joked: "would you like me to do he vasectomy too?" - so true "your families future is in their hands" ....

Yes, every day, have used a electric a few times but only cheap end of the market and never get a close enough shave. Used to use exclusively Gillette razors but have switched over to Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 which seems to do a pretty decent job. Always use King of Shaves gel, rather than foam or foaming gel.

Oddly, I use Gillette but forgot to take it on Holiday so got a couple of single blade cheap Bics, they are just as good.

[MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] is a big fan of wet shaving - particularly going against the hair

 

[AmexRuislip]

Wet shave, better than dry shave.
Anyway I'd end up looking like Brian Blesseds stunt double, in beard terms

 

[Bald Gull]

Used to use Gillette but now use Men Rock - excellent shave cream and razor and replacement blades cost about 5p...

 

[Brok]

Gillette Blue II and a really nice creamy shower gel - job done. Got so fed up of those ridiculous prices for Fusion and all that crap.

Yup, Gillette Blue II every morning.
Ran out of them a couple of weeks ago and foolishly bought something from Aldi that looked similar. Bad mistake.

I've had a beard for years because the girlfriend likes it but she's not the girlfriend any more so am thinking about making a change.

Is she your wife now?
It doesn't sound like it!

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

No. It's a complete and total waste of time. I've got better things to do in the morning.

I get mine clipped every few weeks either by myself or at the hairdressers.

Yes, I do - they give a great close shave. I'm toying with the idea of getting one of the old-fashioned cut-throat blades.

I tried an electric razor when I was about 18 and it was a total waste of money, had to go over it with a proper razor.

It'll be wet shaving until I die now.

Do it !
There's a bit of a learning curve but it's very satisfying.
Avoid anything made in Pakistan though, terrible steel.
