I was wondering if I am the only person left that still shave useing a shaving brush and the jar of shaving cream, and the other stuff like pre shave oil? Just wondering if Im the only old fashion person left.

i use to but instead of shaving cream in a jar i would put soap in a mug idk why but i guess thats how i was taught and it's cheaper, but now i upgraded to those futuristic cans of shaving creame there faster

I don't use the shaving cream in a jar but I do have a barber style shaver, you know the long blade. I don't use it though, you haveto be real careful with that

mach 3. I would injure myself if I were to use a shaving brush. I injur myself from time to time with the mach 3 even. I'm usually not fully awake until after lunch.

Mach 3 Turbo Champion thingy and some Gillete Series Sensitive Skin Gel. I just shave to clean up my beard and then maybe once every two weeks I trim my beard with an electric trimmer.

I hate shaving, but we're not allowed facial hair at school so it leaves me no choice.

Not allowed facial hair? Damn, what do they do if they catch you with some? If you get enough solid information about facial hair being necessary for good hygeine then I am sure you could change that rule quickly.

wow, man that really sucks. I might just die at that school. i should be shavin every day, but i just hate shaving so much that i let it go for about a week, until it starts lookin pretty bad. then it takes me 15 minutes to get it all off... all while i cut myself once or twice because it's so hard to shave once it starts gettin long. some times, i just wish i could be part native american. haha.

by old fashion i guess you mean straight razors?
i love those when i am awake. Actually the barber showed me how to shave w/ a buck knive, after he showed me the straight razor. Its usally just mach 3 bc i am half asleep sometimes in the shower.
Plummer
01-25-2005, 05:35 PM
Damn, what do they do if they catch you with some?
well i also have to shave for my school and if they catch you with facial hair you get a detention then after 3 detentions for shaving you get a saturday, then enough saturday's probation then you get kicked out how much would that suck to get kicked out of a school for not shaving
we also have to buy a razor for 1 buck as well as get a detention, the razor's they provide are the one blade Bic razors (bic the pencil company really bad razor's) that you buy in a big bag like 50 for 10 bucks and we have to go shave with that

Aveeno Shave Gel & Mach 3 Turbo
edit: Im usin the Mach3 POWER. I was shaving today and realized i typed the wrong thing
the wister
01-25-2005, 06:26 PM
Rockin' the Mach 3 Power, also got the Schick quattro, though. The quattro was cool cause it's the only one with four blades, but the m3 power, ooooh, gets so close. I don't really buy into the whole micropulse bs, but the thing vibrates when you use it and you don't even have to press hard, it saves a lot of time. I use gel beause it doesn't have air bubbles in it like foam (not good) and if I skip after-shave, my face itches for hours.
My school doesn't have a shave rule, but our rival school does and if you don't shave it, they take you out of class and give you a community razor.

For all you Mac 3 users, I use a Shick Quatro, 4 blades! EAT IT! i also use Old spice pre-shave exfoliant, and post shave balm, with cheepo canned shaving cream.

I'm surprised that I'm the only one that's going electric. Or I just didn't read carefully enough.

i got the mach 3 power , ihave never tried to shave with a strait razor, but like once a month i go to the barber and get it done, its so nice. I have to shave every day, i just use neutrogena daily moisturizer with spf 15 after, if you have never shaved with a brush i recommend it its very relaxing.
the shicks suck caus the blades are too close so hair gets all stuck in them and cloged up.

Mach 3 Turbo.
I don't really trust barbers enough to go get shaved by them. Since my dad knows a guy who got a cut from a barber, got hepatitis from it. No way he could prove it.
And just wondering, are these private schools that make you shave?

01-26-2005, 03:34 PM
Yeah, private schools. My school is private but we don't have that rule, just our rival (private, all boys).

Umm i dont know shaving your legs is easier than your face, I used to do it when i mountain biked alot more, caus getting mud stuck and dried in your leg hair hurts alot. I have to shave my feet during season caus i have to get them taped every day caus of turf toe on both feet

the girls swimming team doesn't shave their legs for like months to get faster or something when they shave it off for sectionals.
thats pretty gross

01-26-2005, 07:19 PM
I shave almost everymorning while I'm half asleep so after cutting myself a few times I just got an electric razor, so much easier.

01-26-2005, 07:30 PM
Haha, praise the winter, I can usually make it from sunday to saturday, but then I have to shave, it get soo annoying. Plus I have lacrosse on sunday, monday and wednesday so I can't have hair, looks wierd. But anyways, shaving legs isnt too hard, takes a while, but when you get cut it bleeds for ever.
On a side note, my dad shaves his legs, he races bikes, and the girls swimming team doesn't shave their legs for like months to get faster or something when they shave it off for sectionals.
When we cut our faces, they bleeds forever. Girls ain't special.
My girlfriend is a swimmer. I should tell her not to shave her legs.

01-26-2005, 08:20 PM
I'm rockin the electric. I love it. It gets just as close as a blade and I don't rip half my face off shaving in the morning. Sometimes I will get my barber to do it with the warm lather and the straight razor, I used to let him do my whole head. But I haven been to the barber in 3 or 4 months...

why dont you girls just wax your legs? is it the pain or the money? cause shaving seems like a waste
and when i say try to shave ur legs im not serisous, cuz thatd be weeird if a guy shaved his legs
not if you are a cyclist, a sports guy who gets regular massages, or you lose a bet and cant pay the money.
senor_k
01-28-2005, 12:43 AM
Or maybe that was the bet and you're trying to get money. But here's a helpful hint: Do not shave off your eyebrows for any less than $150. It's not worth it.

Shaving sucks. I stopped this whole week becuse I didnt have to work this week-I am forced to shave by my manager, lame. But I digress. I have a wonderful beard coming in though, nice and red. I look like a lumberjack of sorts. Only in emo clothes.

I had to shave my knee and half my left leg once for an operation. Not fun when that grows back...
I played lacrosse at the U of Miami in a men's league for a little while. It was a helments and gloves only league, so we'd practice with only a helmet, gloves, and board shorts, and it was a lacrosse/frat thing to shave your chest on occasion, because damn, that hair builds up fast once you start drinking hard liquor.

I had to shave from my calves down so I could tape up my ankle last weekend. Shaving your leg is a *****, the hair is way longer. I thought shaving was wicked when I was a little kid, but now that I have to I hate doing it.

I used to shave like 3 times a week.. to keep it down.. but now I like to shave everything... grow a thin beard like deal... then shave it after 2 or so weeks.. and then let it grow out again.. and repeat.. except I shave my lip every other night.. because with long hair a mustache doesnt look good. O and I jus use a shick quatro and shavin cream... pain in the ***

does anybody else use an electric shaver with shaving cream. I know your not supposed to because it messes up your razor but it gives me the closeness of a real razor but with an electric so i dont get cut up. does anybody else try to keep their chest hair down cuz im not down with having long *** chest hairs hanging out your shirt.
