Am I the only one who utterly despises shaving?

I can't stand it most of the time, up until the day before yesterday I'd shave maybe 0.75 times a week.

 

At the risk of sounding girly I've got fairly sensitive skin and shaving really does a number on it, so I let the hair grow, which is fine as I don't really care about how my face looks.

 

However, the wife likes me shaven and I do like the fresh feeling you get /after/ you've had a shave, but I hate the itchiness you get when the beard comes in after a week or two being allowed to grow. :C

 

So, I shave every so often out of necessity. Except the last two days.

 

I have tried something different though - going at my face with the electric razor to keep the stubble down, but as that never gets into all the nooks and crannies (usually just behind and under the jaw bone) I have to finish it off using a Mach 3. I've also found that just using water as a lubricant works as well as shaving foam. :-/

Nope, I hate it.

I have really, really sensitive skin so shaving (wet or electric) absolutely obliterates it and often leaves me with a rash (especially on the bottom of my jaw / top of my neck (even though I don't shave my neck!) that can get really irritating, and this is regardless of the soap-free / sensitive (and expensive!) stuff I smear all over my face before and / or after the event.

Glad it's just not me. Wish I could afford electrolysis on my face!

I don't despise shaving, but I despise the effect it has on my skin. If I electric shave it leaves me with a rash and doesn't remove all of the growth as it's very fine. If I wet shave every day, my skin gets very bumpy, sore and bleeds everywhere. At the moment I (wet) shave once a week but I can handle twice if I have an interview or somewhere else I need to look nice. I much prefer me all clean shaven, it feels like "me" but it just doesn't happen that often.

I used to hate shaving. Now I use a shaving brush, traditional DE razor and a nice shave cream. Feel like a GENTLEMAN :-{

also it's a super close shave and skin feels nice afterward and the blades cost about twopence each.

http://www.edwinjagger.com/ make my stuff apart from the blades which I think I'm mostly using Gillette Bleue at present. http://www.royalshave.com/p/409-024-01/gillette-bleue-double-edge-razor-blades.html you can get hundreds a go for not much on ebay.

Have you tried Ultra Shave? It's used to be about £15 a bottle but you can get multiple bottles on ebay for v cheap. It's my current shaving cream/after shave balm of choice.

I haven't had a clean shave in over 5 years now.

 

The hair left on my head gets the shortest my hair clippers can do, no guard, face gets the shortest my beard trimmer can do, once a week usually.

A few years ago 'Tomorrow's World' asked people for ideas of inventions they would like to see in the future.

My idea - which was read out - was for some kind of depilliation cream, similar to the stuff women use on their legs, to be produced strong enough to tackle beard stubble but not in a skin damaging way.

So far, no-one has taken up the idea :(

No, I'll give it a look thanks. At the moment I think I'm using something by "The Real Shaving Company" whatever they are.

Well I have to be careful because I'm married, but all the ladies at work were ogling me. At least in my mind they were!
