General Shaving discussion

wii.mmgn.com/... Well the old Shick add thread got converted into a general discussion about shaving so lets start fresh with a new discussion. For some reason the discussion of shaving got a lot of people involved.
Shaving is such a chore for me, I hate it. I do it every second day because if I don't I end up trying to tear my face off.
I never see myself turning shaving into so much of an experience as you do.

Well the last time I bought shaving soap was December 2009 for $6, and the last time I bought blades was the middle of last year for $7. The other stuff will last a literal lifetime.


The soap really goes that far?

Either you dont shave enough or you bought 3kg of it :P

You;re either shaving once a year or using blunt blades desi.

The tearing your face off thing could be related to how old and dull your cartridges are. Just saying. :P

Eh? Wha? $7 gets you twelve DE blades, and I got some as a gift from overseas too. Using only half of one in a shavette basically doubles the number of shaves, as the unused half of the blade isn't exposed to moisture, and therefore its fine edge isn't rusting off.

It goes very far. You only need a tiny amount to make lather, especially if you face-lather.
To be honest I buy some cheap looking disposables from Sam's Warehouse And they work very very well for me unlike all the popular brands.
This thread has shown that you either love shaving or you hate it. Hamzie and Desi are the only two that seem to love it. :P
Soap lasts longer than cream. but the cream i bought in december .. a tube... is just about half used now. should last me till october or such :D
I sat down and read this whole thread the other day. I feel enlightened.

Do you feel the need to shave properly

I would enjoy it if I had time to sit in the bathroom and shave properly.

When I was at school I spent quality time shaving to the point where my folks thought I was getting up to something suspicious in the bathroom [WTF].

Now I feel it to be a chore and seem to just fit it in with my busy schedule.

I'm guessing you don't go through a lot of soap... how can a block of soap last that long :/

So you spend around $26 less than me a year on shaving. I'm toooootally fine with that :P

@ShaveShed hey dude, completely unrelated to basically anything, but this logo:

Should be a .gif not a .jpg. You can see some compression noise around it which is hard to get rid of with a Jpeg because its not designed for hard lines (text, illustrations), which is where a GIF should be used. It would reduce your filesize and look DEAD SHARP :)

Yeah I care about that kinda stuff [Shifty] Do that and I will buy a Razor ;)

Soap is also susceptible to spreading germs. My soap has started cracking and will probably start harbouring dirt/germs - not good for those with sensitive skin.

If it wasn't for the price/usage I would swap to cream. You only need to look at some peoples dirty habits in the bathroom to turn you off.

If you ask nicely I'll give you some pics of our newly renovated bathroom. Can't wait till I get my apartment :'@.
Show me yours and ill show you mine

It shouldn't do so. Even if the soap isn't antibacterial, the cake dries out between uses, thus stopping bacterial growth. Germs can't grow without moisture, which is why the toilet seat is so clean.
I dare you to eat off of it. :P

Usually I wouldn't shave, but my 'lack of razors' look has been usurped by hipsters. (evil)

Maybe it's just this place then. The bathroom is usually wet after people have their shows, it's as if they shake themselves dry like a dog. Mind you it's very cool in the summer so there's no risk of humidity.

I'll post my bathroom is hamzie posts his real one ;).
Gone back to the Gillette turbo now didn't like the Shick.
