    You ever gotten a shave from that place? Expensive but totally worth it. I've used their products too and I agree with what you're saying as far as how smooth it can be

    I use the bic single blade disposables with some Brut shaving foam. Then I slap on some shave secret as my after shave lotion. That works for me.

    I used a Braun electric razor for about 15 years. Just recently I switched to a double-edge safety razor and I love it. It's turned shaving from a chore to a morning ritual. Shaving time becomes 'me' time.

    Just wanna say Braun is the shiznit.

    However due to some equipment constantly getting lost and/or broken, I use a razor :(

    You really have to just try out a lot of different things. Different razors, gels, soaps, etc. Trial and error. Eventually you'll find what works for you. Don't copy others.

    I shave most days, but can get by with every other day. Work gives me a hard time if I don't shave by the third day, and by the 4th day it drives me nuts.

    Best electric shaver I ever had was a Panasonic. Better still I got it for a huge discount at Frys. It had a thin foil head and really fast motor. I later switched to a Braun that is OK but isn't as close or comfortable as the panasonic.

    I will make the move to a safety razor and soap/brush approach. The idea of putting a warm lather seems to make sense and the blade shaving seems to cut closer and leaves a smaller stubble. Did some research and will try the Edwin Jagger DE89L (seems a good compromise of weight, length, and cost). When I shave with a the Fusion and canned creme it seems to take the same amount of time and I get a closer shave. Looking forward to spending more me time...

    anyone using dollar shave club? I don't like their most expensive blade. It's hard as hell to get the hairs out of the blades. The second most expensive is the best IMO

    Best thing I've ever done for my face. Proraso pre and post shave potion also is key.

    Same here...done in 1-2 mins tops. Not sure why I used to shave outside the shower, it's such a waste of time and it's messy as hell. I have a shower mirror and I cup my hand below my chest to use as a water basin to rinse the razor off ever so often.

    I have to shave everyday, and I still get some scruff. It's ridiculous.

    Reviving this thread, as I have been shaving with a DE (double edge or safety razor) for a little over a month now. I have started collecting razors: I started with a cheap Weishi, then a 1965 Gillette Slim adjustable, then bought two 1958 Gillette SuperSpeed TV Specials, then a Cadet Open Comb, and for Father's day I will get a Edwin Jagger DE89L. I use CO Bigelow shaving creme (same stuff as Poraso) and alternate between Aqua Velva and Old Spice after shave (brings back memories of my dad and shaving). and I usually take 20-30 minutes, the shaves are really close and comfortable, and I look forward to shaving every day.

    Definitely recommend it.

    I've always hated using disposable razors because they carve up my face like a jack o'lantern. I also hate using non-disposable razors because they are so overpriced.

    I recently started using these:

    I buy them in bulk from Amazon and it comes out to about $1/razor. Combined with this:

    and I think I've finally found the perfect combination for the perfect shave.

    Morning, every 3-4 days I shave my neck and above my cheeks. I trim my beard every 2-4 weeks to keep it "clean" and "work friendly" I use shaving cream.

    Right there with you, Homie!

    I joined about 3 weeks ago, and my first blade still feels brand new! Gonna dial it down to every other month now, which would mean I will only be paying 3 bucks a month for top quality blades sent to my house.

    Best deal ever?
