Kurren	Posted - 2006.02.07 18:53:00 - [31] I thought the commercial was a joke at first. I thought it was gonna be a beer commercial. Sadly, I still couldn't stop laughing at the razor with 6 blades on it! 5 razors to skin your victims body 1 razor on top to take care of yourself if the cops catch on! -Devs, please don't destroy my ENTIRE signature next time!-

I can shave in about 10 seconds without worrying about cutting myself sorry but for those of us who have hit puberty an electric razor rarely is enough... Maybe your electric razor just sucks? Mine shaves far closer than my 3-blade razor. Yes, but does it shave closer than a 5 blade razor? HMMM?! -Devs, please don't destroy my ENTIRE signature next time!-
Admiral Pieg	Posted - 2006.02.08 02:05:00 - [33] Edited by: Admiral Pieg on 08/02/2006 02:08:49 ive been shaving with an electric phillips since i hit puberty about 6 years ago, but my skin is rather sensitive nowadays and like you guys say, it simply doesnt shave close enough. I was hoping maybe you could give me some advice on shaving with a razor. For instance, do you use the shaving cream that comes with the mach3 razors (that blue jelly-stuff)? Also, after you have shaved do you wash your face before applying aftershave or are you supposed to just wipe the remaining shaving cream off before applying aftershave? Edit: Another thing, could you give me some pointers on how to shave my chin, what direction and such. The razor always gets "stuck" and i get afraid of cutting myself. And the upperlip(moustache area), do you shave upwards towards the nose or downwards? I cant get a close enough shave if i shave downwards but when i shave upwards i cut myself pretty bad. ______________ Pod from above.

I've got skin you can peal thumbnail sized chunks off of on a regular basis. What I use is the Bic sensitive skin disposables, and shave in the shower with soap. I tend to use Ivory, because its abut the only soap my skin doesn't react (badly) with. Soak you face in the shower, lather it up, shave, then wash it off again. I find it works quite well. Just be sure to check in the mirror for missed spots. It's easy to miss a little when you're shaving by feel. Harry Voyager ____________________ I'm not an idiot; I just play one on the forums.
Pwyle Kenobi	Posted - 2006.02.08 05:19:00 - [36] Some sensible shaving advice for Admiral Pieg? I'll see what I can offer. I have tough bristle and relatively sensitive skin. I use dual blade disposables with a fixed (non-swivel) blade-head. I've tried all sorts of fancy manual and electric shavers but the simple two blade disposables offer me the closest shave. I use each blade for 1 week and then throw it out. The swivel head blades reduce the amount of control I have over the blade and don't shave close enough for me. This is the important bit I do not use shaving cream or gel (neither has ever given me a close shave). I use shaving oil (the brand I use is Somersets Shaving Oil but there are other brands out there). Wet your hands and face with warm to hot water, then apply 3 drops into one palm and rub your hands briefly together before rubbing the oil into your face. Let it soak into the bristle for 30 seconds before shaving. This is the ONLY way I can get a close shave (and it works very well for me). My answers to Admiral Pieg's questions: "... do you use the shaving cream that comes with the mach3 razors (that blue jelly-stuff)?" Try the shaving oil (but make sure you let it soak in for 30 seconds). If you use gel or cream, you should also let that sit for a bit before shaving. "Also, after you have shaved do you wash your face before applying aftershave or are you supposed to just wipe the remaining shaving cream off before applying aftershave?" Rinse off the cream, gel or oil with COLD water then apply after-shave. If you wait a little while and let your skin cool (helped along with cold water) the pores tighten and then it won't hurt as much to apply after-shave. (Avoid soap on your face right after shaving as that hurts too.) "... could you give me some pointers on how to shave my chin, what direction and such ... etc" Shave with the grain (the same direction in which the bristle grows) on first pass and then, if it isn't close enough, shave against the gain lightly. Change the angle and direction of the razor rather than pressing the razor harder into your face! eg on your upperlip, shave downward first pass, then shave horizontally and, if needed, shave upward last. Same principle for your chin. "The razor always gets "stuck"" Yeah, I used to have this problem. A few things to stop this. (1) Use a sharp blade. This means throwing out your old blades. Mine last about 1 week. (2) Try the shaving oil (make sure you let it soak into the bristle to soften it). (3) Try shaving after your morning shower. The hot water and steam also helps to soften the bristle. Well that works for me. I hope some of that helps someone. I think of all the pain and cuts I could have avoided down the years if my dad had shown me what the heck to do rather than my trusting to dumb luck and blundering along!
Saeris Tal'Urduar	Posted - 2006.02.08 08:03:00 - [37] Me, I still prefer the bag of 20 Bic single blade razors for $4.99. Someone do a test for me, one of the Triple Blade guys. Go buy the 5 pack (yellow) Bic single blade. And then tell me how it shaves. I have to say you guys have bought into the gimmic. And yes I was the first to go out and buy the double blades and then the triples (Mach3). (Or for some reason get them as presents.) They all went into the garbage after about 2 weeks. Nothing shaves smoother or closer than a single blade..not even that razor that shoots goo. There's a reason they still* make single blade razors...its for those of us that took a bite out of that big BS sandwich and decided we didnt like it.*
Dak Hakin	Posted - 2006.02.08 09:06:00 - [38] This shaves me quite close. Very happy with it. _______________________________________________ Proudly serving Electus Matari Mr. Grumpy-sour-pus /me spreads teh lub in this sig - Imaran

bUBbLeS	Posted - 2006.02.08 23:05:00 - [40] The 5 Blade razor was originally developed for Chuck Norris the first design was using diamond-carbide tipped blades for Chuck to hack through that hard as nails stubble

Admiral Pieg	Posted - 2006.02.09 01:09:00 - [41] Thanks a ton for the advice guys. Ill try those bic sensitive skin disposables you mentioned harry and ill see if i cant find some of that shaving oil pwyle. My main problem is shaving my upperlip but ill try shaving horisontally like you said beause shaving upwards isnt very pleasant. Pwyle you mentioned i should throw out my old razors, is this the case with the mach3 razors aswell? I figured they were supposed to last a while but my mach 3 started to get "stuck" after just a week and a half. ______________ Pod from above.

Shaving upwards on your upperlip...ouch Rule of thumb, shave with the flow and not against. If you go against the grain you'll get a super smooth shave but it's not too good for your skin. ________________________________________________________ WE get EVERRYYWHHHEERREEEE!!1 - Imaran <Narcissus> I read Meridius is always correct on Wikipedia once
Mr Floppyknickers	Posted - 2006.02.09 02:33:00 - [43] Meh, I use whatever is cheapest. Just shave in the shower and you don't need any of that oil / creeme / gel at all. When I want it close I just press really hard, with a face as ugly as mine it's not like I got anything to lose. Hell a good scar might make me look more "dashing" or some such nonsense to the ladies.
Rudolfus	Posted - 2006.02.10 18:44:00 - [44] All this talk of shaving reminds me of a world record I read a few weeks ago. Most Faces Shaved In One Hour Tom Rodden of Chatham, Kent, England, shaved 278 brave volunteers in 60 minutes with a cutthroat razor on November 10, 1993, for the BBC Record Breakers program, averaging 12.9 seconds per face. He drew blood seven times. Tom worked as a hairdresser since the age of 18. I wonder how much blood he drew? http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/content_pages/record.asp?recordid=48797
