I hate shaving. More than almost anything else . . . my face hurts for a day after I shave. I use a Mach 3. Often, I don't shave for a week or so (you can't tell for the first 4 days). Finally, I've decided to say "SCREW THIS" and go with an electric razor. I had <a href="http://www.epinions.com/well-Personal-Electric_Razors-All-Panasonic_Sonic_1_Head_ES365H">one at one point</a>, but it was really crappy. I recently tried my friend's Norelco, and I liked it, but I'm not too certain as to what I want. All I know is that I'm tired of shaving with blades. Anyone have any suggestions? I realize I won't have as close of a shave, but I don't care. I'm looking at: <a href="http://www.epinions.com/well-Personal-Electric_Razors-All-Norelco_Advantage_5615X">The lotion-dispensing Norelco Advantage</a>. It seems okay, but the lotion is expensive. What about the razor design? Do you like the 3 rotating blades, or the long blade thing better? <a href="http://www.panasonic.com/pppc/model.asp?CatId=342&ModelId=9953">This one looks cool</a>. It's from Panasonic, and is the fastest razon in the world. I'd love to try it out. Anyone know somewhere where I could try these things out before buying? Thanks! ------------------ "Up and down, inside out, outside in, some you lose some you win" -- DMB -> "Sweet Up and Down"
Aw man! Try using this stuff called, "The Ultimate Shaving Solution" (or something thereof).Its this herbal shaving liquid, they sell at Whole Foods. I'm very weary of anything herbal. Whatever it is I've found herbal, its a weaker version of what you really want(cleaners, shampoos etc...). Three drops in your palm, rub it into your wet face and thats it! This stuff ROCKS! I used to have a really bad problem with those red sploches after I shaved big time. It really didn't matter what kinda razor I used, till I found this stuff. It smells kind of mentholish but not overbearing. A small bottle will run you about ten bucks but a little goes a long way depending how often you shave. One bottle lasted me for over a year. ------------------ "Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick once and you suck forever."
I hate shaving too. Tough beard--wimpy face. I learned to shave in the shower (without a mirror), and it's saved me from considerable agony. I also use a Mach 3. The problem with good razors is the same problem with TV's. Once you move up to a big screen--or a better blade--you can't go back down. I'm definitely going to check out that ultimate shaving solution though. ------------------ stop posting my damn signature
Best shaving tip ever: Wash your face clean with water right after you shave. I used to just wipe off with a towel when I finished, but that little water scrub makes all the difference in the world. ------------------ My dream job is to be a Houston Rockets towel boy.

I too use the Mach 3. I have to shave daily, or I'll look like Homer Simpson by quitting time. I bought one of those mirrors that attaches to your shower water line to keep it from fogging up, and I shave in the shower. I never use any shave cream, just soap and water. And I hate having to do it. I had a beard for a couple of years, but I am not allowed to have one on my current job. Bummer. I thought it looked pretty cool, and so did my wife. ------------------ I always thought "With my talent, it's only a matter of time before I'm discovered".

Shave in the shower, get one of those mirrors that hang from the shower head, and then use a nice sensitive skin lotion/lather. The steam and cream will get rid of your soreness after shaving.

Currently I do the shower thing, but I don't use a mirror -- I just feel my face to see what's shaven and what isn't. But I don't like it . . . maybe it's just because I hate shaving in general. Maybe I could wax hahaha ------------------ "Up and down, inside out, outside in, some you lose some you win" -- DMB -> "Sweet Up and Down"
Don't buy any of that Panasonic "world's fastest razor" BS. That stuff doesn't work it just takes a bit off the top and leaves uneven patches of hair. ------------------ ------------------ Hakeem: "Exit Suugar Lan"
I feel your pain Vengeance. I'm 25 and I HATE shaving. I only have to shave every 2-3 days. I use a Mach 3 with Noxema Sensitive Skin shaving cream. I will never change shaving creams: -After I shave, I wait for a few minutes and brush my teeth, fix my hair, whatever. The I rub a small amount of the shaving cream into my skin. Thats it. No more razor burn. ------------------ "I have no regrets except that I wasn't up to keep Randy from getting on that plane." --Ozzy Osbourne on guitarist Randy Rhodes

I often leave my Mach 3 at home so I have to use disposable razors at school. Now that's pain ------------------
You guys make me feel old. I use the same razor (not the same blade, obviously, ha ha ha) that Gillette sent me when I was 18. I'm the old-fashioned type: shave after shower, Colgate shaving cream, Old Spice after-shave. And weirdly enough, I like shaving (good thing since I end up doing it five times a week). Two tips, one of which fadeaway hit on: one, rinse with warm water, then with cold water. Just splash some on. Two, and I read this in a men's magazine so I took it to heart, make sure to really rub the shaving cream on well before shaving. That's what makes the stubble stand up so it can be cut more easily. I mean you're talking about a microscopic improvement in how much the stubble stands up, BUT it makes a noticeable difference in terms of how the shave feels.
Wow what good timing on this thread. I just tried a Mach3 for the first time this morning. It works great. I also shave in the shower using no mirror. I use the feel your face method to see where I missed. Occasionally I use shaving cream if I want an ultra smooth shave but that usually leaves my neck scraped up.

I'm jealous of you guys who only have to shave every 3 or 4 days! My 5 o'clock shadow starts coming in around 10 in the morning. Ditto to those who suggested the Mach 3. Its a fine razor. ------------------ We used to laugh at Grandpa when he'd head off and go fishing. But we wouldn't be laughing that evening when he'd come back with some w**** he picked up in town.
I hate shaving more than anything in this world. Well maybe not, but I really really hate it. I always shave right before taking a shower, I imagine it has nearly the same effect as shaving in the shower. ------------------ www.swirve.com "Pre-born, you're fine, pre-school, you're f*****."-George Carlin
