I'm really just curious about what men shave with since I'm one, and I dont need a product that's good for leg shaving. I just wanted to see what products you all think are good.

I know some won't work as well for me as they do for you but whatever.

Also, I just stumbled upon an add for this thing and I'm wondering if anyone has tried one. It's called the rolling razor or at least that's the company. Not a huge advancement IMO but it's something different and if it's not radically expensive I think I'll give it a try. I never quite liked holding the stick on a normal razor.

so yeah, what do ya use?

favorite shaving cream/gel?
aftershave?
electric shaver?
razor?
double/single/triple/QUAD blade? :biglaugh:
vibrating razor? - one reason for this thread...does the vibration actually help?
straight blade? :aigo:
blah blah blah...

As for me I have a norelco quadra action and cheap gilette two-blade throw aways for those overgrown days. I use whatever shaving lubricant i have around... my favorite is good ol' fashoned colgate that foams right out of the bottle. my gillete gel is weird but works i guess. I've used American Crew shave cream too, which is allright.

I haven't figured out any favorites yet.

I have a water proof norelco electric I usually use. It can dispense gel or lotion while you shave which helps alot I think. Some times Ill break out the mach3 I think it is and use that. Either way I hate shaving and do it less than once a month these days. Gotta use hair clippers just to get to a point that the shavers can work.

sounds fancy. mine just has a trimmer. haha. I agree though I always consider shaving a chore. I'll say to myself; shave with the razor then keep it clean by hitting it with the dry electric every day. ...that never happens. To add to the disappointment my beard isn't really thick so it doesn't look to great unshaven... :(


Tissimo - LOL good grief...i almost choked on my water when i saw that.

I've used pretty much everything by now. Not really a surprise, considering that I've been shaving for well over two decades.

It really depends on what your beard is like. Mine is freaking tough as hell and grows fast. Regular disposables don't work worth a tinker's damn, I can literally dull one on half of my face.

Microscreen electrics cut nice and close, but I blow through the screens in a few months.

So, I'm left with the rotary electrics. I'm currently using one of the waterproof models that has triple circles on each cutting head - doesn't shave as close as a disposable or the microscreens, but at least it lasts.

Fusion with Fusion gel...

Anyone ever tried an epilator? I think I'd scream using it on my face...

I can't shave against the grain either or my face breaks out bad or it gets ripped to shreds. Damn sensitive skin...

your poll is seriously lacking. real men only shave with a straight razor. slightly less than real men shave with a dual-edge safety razor. and all the pansies shave with that plastic crap with the hundred and five blades marketing ploys that you find at safeway.

but seriously, the best shaves come from the old school straight edge or the dual-edge.

I have pretty sensitive skin too. i'm still not sure if any method keeps me from breaking out a bit unless i'm SUPER careful and keep my face very clean after shaving (i.e. don't touch my face at all after cleansing and using cold water...it sucks)

and an epilator? holy shit! i didn't know they existed but they look damned painful!

Real men shave with a knife.... cuz they've got balls... the poll says so!

Seriously, Mach3 here for me. I'm with Grim - a disposable will fucking dull on my face quick!
