use king of shaves shaving oil or gel better than foam :y

They do a disposable razor to go with the oil, gets my vote about once a week, any mor ethan that & I'm late(r) for work  :-[

I use a blowtorch or, if it's only a light stubble, sandpaper. :y

I haven't shaved for well over ten years. I now have a beard that also acts as pubic hair :y

Just use ordinary liquid soap in a pump dispenser from your local Supermarket & a double blade razor from a fair to middling manufacturer Jimbob! No need to spend a fortune on Gillette or shaving foams, balms etc! But steer clear of the 10 for a £1 jobbies unless you're after a remake of Sweeney Todd! ;D :y

I've been wet shaving for 30 years, i've tried dry shaving with electric razors but just don't feel like i've had a good close shave. I've been using one of those Gillette wet razors with the single AA battery and Gel for the last 3 years or so and it works well for me

Power cut this morning. Wet shave or 5 o'clock shadow? Have a guess...

Couldn't iron a shirt either so looks like it's dress down day. ;D

I also hate shaving with a passion. Before I retired it was every evening or morning depending on whether or not I had an early start, always a wet shave, can't get on with electric shavers never a close shave and they tend to pull the hair. If I shaved every day with sensitive foam and a good razor using an aftershave soothing balm my skin was fine. Leave it a day or two and I used to get an awful neck rash.

Nowadays I wet shave once or twice a week, once when my beard starts to itch or twice if I'm going out, using Nivea Sensative Gel, a Gillette Pro Glide razor, and Clinique Happy After Shave Balm. Nice clean smooth shave. :y :y

I have a mate who shaves two three times a day and still has a five o'clock shadow  ;D ;D ;D

cant use electric shavers , my skin dont like them ..  using latest gilette razors but only after a hot shower so my skin becomes softer.. and 3 times a week not more  ;D
 
ps: hair creams makes a better surface for shaving than foams imo.. :P

Much as I prefer wet shaving - One of those electric Gilette Fusion things and sensitive shaving gel - I have had to get a decent electric razor for convenience. I do tend to have a wet shave when going out as the electric just doesn't feel close enough

Bar of soap, brush, lukewarm water. Any old multiblade razor. Best combo I've used, and I can grow my sideburns in twenty minutes if I put my mind to it ;)

You can't beat the turkish barbers,cut throat razors,facial waxing,singe the hairin your earholes,you will never get a better shave than this,and all for about ten quid.
The only downside is,Marmaris is four and a half hours flying time away.

Electric razors give me one hell of a rash, so wet shave every day.

I've been using Asda's own triple blade razors with gillette gel for some years now and does the job :y
