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.

'So does this involve shaving before showering....unless you want to shower with cold water '


Shouldn't matter. Splashing with cold water would be enough to contract the pores anyway.
ive gone 2 months without shaving and still cant grow anything on my chin.
keep my dirty mo and shave everything else off..
with a cartridge shaver ofc

I know about it.

I intend to get the brush from the shaveshed, and I had considered getting the sample blades from there.

If you spent $75 you might as well pay a extra few dollars and get a brush :P.

Not worth buying a cheap brush. better off buying a better one from teh interwebz

A problem with some shavettes is that they aren't rigid enough, but this one is very rigid. The actual blade holder and tang are steel, and the blade isn't going anywhere.

Also, 23 hours after my straight razor shave, and still no stubble. :O
I'm tempted to try that. That's the one that uses razors yeah? I'm not to worried about cutting myself, I seem to need to have a limb amputated before I scar :P I dunno why but I rarely scar so I could probably safely learn to use a straight razor. I imagine if you got pro enough at that you could do it quickish.

Yup, half a DE blade. It takes me one or two minutes longer than using a safety razor because I actually have to think about where to put the blade. But I enjoy it a lot more than using safety razors.
about 24 hours after slant and im almost still bbs :P

Congrats man :P

Your journey starts soon. to make a lather just pick up any decently sized bowl from teh kitchen

What blades do you have btw?

hamzie said: What blades do you have btw?


I hope 7 O'Clocks. [Shifty]

Derby blades are easy to find, so they may be Derbys. PROTIP: Derby blades can be rough on the first shave. To fix this, grab a little cube of styrofoam, or a wine cork, and lightly run each side of the blade through it once.
derby SUCKS!

hamzie said: derby SUCKS!


Yeah, Derbys are highly variable in quality, even within the same pack.

UPDATE: So I tried cold shaving this morning. I ran into two problems:

1) Not enough lubrication (I was rushing and decided to face-lather).
2) Possibly dull blade (using a shavette)
3) Cold water made skin a bit tougher.

All of these meant that I nicked myself once, underneath the chin. I also missed a spot. The shave overall is quite nice, though: my face doesn't feel puffy or loose, it feels tight and fresh (that's what she said [monkey]).
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :( you shouldve followed the exact same routine as your regular shave.
DO IT AGAIN :@




but seriously.........do it again :P

Of course I shall try again tomorrow. It didn't really help that I had no stubble. :P

I'd cut my head off with one of those, I rush through shaving everyday.
Shaved this morning. Oh yeah. [MOG]
