Guys blade or electric what do you use?
Just wanted to find out what guys here use. Do you shave with a blade shaver or an electric and how often? Just wondering because after a couple of months the nice shiny electric shaver I bought is now back in the cupboard. I am getting a much nicer shave from my blades which I used to use, coupled with a cheap $20 battery shaver..... And both of those give me a nicer shave then the nice expensive paperweight I bought. For interest it was a Panasonic ES RT81 wet/dry shaver. Maybe Panasonic should stick to making ovens and TV sets. Also left a less then favourable review on their website.

Nov 12 12 09:28 pm Link both. Blade is neater but electric is quicker. Nov 12 12 09:31 pm Link Wildcat Photography wrote: No sharp instruments go near my little buddies!

Trimmer: http://www.sallybeauty.com/wahl-detaile … =Hair13-02 Nov 12 12 09:35 pm Link I have to use both. Blade. When hair is shorter and I need a really clean or close shave I use the blade. Electric. When I am just styling or trimming down the hair. Both. When the hair gets too long its too thick for the blade alone, so first I have to trim it down til its short enough for the blade to handle. I still have that five o'clock shadow look even after I shave, but its not that big a problem unless I have to do a shoot or something in which case I know a few makeup tricks to hide it and get that super clean fresh face look. Nov 12 12 09:37 pm Link Blade with a shaving soap and brush. Nov 12 12 09:37 pm Link super-cheap norelco beard trimmer to shave my head down when it just needs to be closely shaved, or a razor from a $2 4-pack walgreens brand disposable razors for the times I need to be 100% bald. I've tried a whole bunch of other things, but in general 2 or 3 blade razors work best and that cheapo beard trimmer works well enough. I'd love to get talented enough to use a blade or really sharp knife. /answer from a girl Nov 12 12 09:38 pm Link Blade here - have a fierce beard of apparently - wire - Tried an electric - after a little while - it just quit - and stopped with my face hair hung in the screen. Had to yank it out to get the damned thing off my face. Cheepo disposable Bic sensitive skin ones - Literally work the best for me Nov 12 12 09:40 pm Link  Nov 12 12 09:43 pm Link Blade. Bics. I get lazy and don't shave every day. I occasionally let it go to near-beard, then I use electric clippers to cut it down to where I can use the blade and shaving cream. Back when I worked regular hours in IT, I used to use a Braun electric and shaved on the way to work, while stopped at red lights. Nov 12 12 09:48 pm Link I love shavers, but my last one died, and I don't have the cash to buy another good one. Good ones are really great. Now, I use a blade with regular soap. I use it again and again and again till it cuts me, then I change the blade. Three months every day, or six months every other day.

Nov 13 12 01:09 am Link Beard trimmer and a razor. Electrics I've used tend to throw little hair bits around and don't get as close as a blade. With a beard, trimming the cheeks and neck doesn't need foam. I do it after a shower when it's softer. Haven't bought foam for years. Nov 13 12 01:10 am Link Blade - Bic Sensitive Skin disposables. Before the Bics, I tried just about every blade and electric shaver on the market, but never found the ideal shaver. Like most black men who go for a clean shave, I had to deal with pseudofolliculitis barbae ("razor bumps") for years. Since switching to the disposables, and softening my beard thoroughly with hot soapy water, no problem. Nov 13 12 01:53 am Link dry shave....No Problem. I do appreciate the multiblades tho....

But Recent Events have me back in hasmat removal so I must be clean shaven. Everyday I use a twinblade Gelette using my wife's shave gell. Nov 13 12 08:17 am Link AdelaideJohn1967 wrote: Blade. I've tried several electric shavers but I always end up with the same results: either a half assed shave, irritation, or a mix of the two. Nov 13 12 08:49 am Link Blade too...Electric is good if you get a good one and are in a rush. Nov 13 12 08:58 am Link I use the blades that are like $2.50 for a dozen. They cut the hair, it's all I need them to do. Nov 13 12 05:32 pm Link Blade. Stop using regular shaving cream with alchohol in it, it kills your skin. Get some good mug soap and a fine badger hair brush. You can also get some good cream to use as a base if you want. Best shave ever. Nov 13 12 05:37 pm Link Ho Ho Ho! Nov 13 12 05:39 pm Link Feather double edge razor in a 1950's Gillette holder. I use shave secret shave oil and then Proraso shave soap applied with a badger brush.
