Don't shave and become a hair covered Siberian Yogi bear.
in seriousness: non friction shaving gel and electric shavers seem quite efficient, apparently :creep:
I already use non friction gel...
And electric shavers are to :daisy: expensive... AND they tend to not work well in humid places (like where I live). :wall:
if i didnt shave my girl would hate me.....
but for about 3 weeks in late july/august, judaism bans shaving b/c we were mourning for the destruction of the temples, so during that time im like a wolly bear.
:beam:

I hate shaving too and therefore I never do. I occasionally trim.
.
a) Go to a barbershop and get a blade shave.
b) Shave more carefully, you wont cut yourself this way. It takes time. Singing while shaving helps.
c) Grow a beard (and optionally become an orthodox priest)
You gotta get over it. Unless you change sex you ll have facial hair growing on your face forever...
One way to stop facial hair growth (or any hair growth) is to apply acid or fire to the area in question.
Shaving? Don't really mind it. I don't like it when the it gets thick.
Edit: What razor are you using? The newer types are pretty damn safe.
You will get the hang of it. Just let the razor do it's work don't put too much pressure on it.
Practice, Grasshopper.
I personally dislike electric shavers- I don't think they're handy at all and the result is never as good.
Shaving is an art which needs to be mastered. Only through intense training and finally reaching enlightenment can you reach the point where you wont cut yourself.
:bow:
Shaving is annoying, and especially after you shave your face is all red and you look really stupid.
You look like a baby, instead of looking like a real man like before.
I had a recipe to greatly inhibit hairgrowth, but it was disgusting for some... it was traditional recipe after all.
1. First, shave your beard and moustache cleanly. May it hurt you, but after that, you'll need to shave once every year or even more...
2. Second, buy some crabs... whole crabs.
3. Cut open those crab's stomach with a knife, and you'll see its intestine, gills, and some crab's poo... it was all you need... (safe the crabmeat for delicious eating afterall) don't wash them (the intestine, gills, and poo)
4. Mix them in a bowl, mix evenly, and made them as a homogen paste with a spoon.
5. Apply that crab-intestine-gill-poo paste all over your chin... and leave it for half a day...
6. Until it dries.... Then wash them with hot water (rather warm, not too hot, but not too warm)
7. And you won't need any shaving for a long - long time........
CAUTION: NEVER APPLY THAT PASTE ONTO YOUR HEAD!!! except you want to bald forever, it will inhibit hair growth (inhibit, not stop), but if you try to grow a new set of hair, it will make them very coarse and fragile!!!

Are you trying to scare him into shaving without complaining ? :inquisitive:Quote:

I only ever use an electric razor. It cuts fairly close and it doesn't bother/irritate your skin much. I like using it quite a bit...except for the fact that within the last month or so it has gotten to the point where it comes back so fast I have to shave everyday.
I think the worst part is when you play a sport or sweat a lot on your face and it starts to burn like you've dipped your face in hell itself. I try to shave at night because of this reason, instead of the morning, but like I said; by the time practice comes around the next day I already have some ugly looking scruff coming in. :wall:
Nothing can be done for it...
It's all about charisma, man. Behave like the alpha-male and women won't mind your hair any more, so that you only need to shave it once it grows too bushy. :2thumbsup:
There's nothing quite like gutting a pimple with my razor :beam:
Of course, use a razor with multiple blades, otherwise it takes forever to get it silky smooth. And don't listen to the electric gang, real men use real razors, none of that vibrator nonsense.
Though, for "other shaving", I recommend getting a ladyshaver...
@rasoforos
yupz, its work on any type of hair... and ironically, javanesse has much facial hair, a bit less than you maybe, but I got a very good proof about that... Look on the photo of Hambali, Ali Gufron, Amrozi, ... etc:laugh4:
But seriously, is there not any chemicals that will cease hair growth in the are they are applied on? I guess not if so many people are doing waxing & shaving... Oh, and from what I have read, the supposed fact that Native American and Asian people have less facial hair is nothing more than a myth/stereotype.
I've been shaving for more than 3 years from now =P... guess I never learn.
I use a 3 blade razor. :shrug:
Thanks for the suggestion on "the other shaver" :inquisitive:
try to extract that chemicals inside my traditional recipe....
Jaysus, children, get a proper razor. None of this multiple blade crap.
I have a single-blade Merkur, old school-badger-hair brush, and cream. Just like polishing your shoes, shaving like your granddad - or Clint Eastwood or John Wayne - is what separates men from boys.
And just as any other thing in life it needs to be done carefully and requires skill, which is why you get cut if you do it in a rush. Just relax, focus, and think about what you're doing. And don't move the razor along the blade!
Or you can go for the Chuck Norris look...
I started sporting a beard 2 months ago. It's already like 2cm long and it contains light brown, dark brown, blond, red (lots) and gray. Quite interesting mixture. Never gets boring to look at and it doesn't scratch anymore once you get over a certain length.
Before that I shaved wet with standard equipment, i.e. some of this gilette or wilkinson stuff (triple blades in some sort of cage for protection). Have never had a cut using these.
Well, I did a quick search but as it seems, this is untoppable, so:
LOLZ! you win!
As you age the skin on your face will eventually toughen up and you'll be able to light a match on your cheek. For now try shaving while taking a hot-shower using one of those fog-free mirrors.
+1 I shave in the shower. Triple blade razor, never used shaving cream. To my fathers horror or something. He finally decided to teach me how to shave a month ago, (im 18 in 2 weeks) even though ive been shaving for nearly 2 years. Tried to put the shaving cream on himself to demonstrate, but managed to spray it over the walls, ceiling and in the carpet. Nice.Quote:

I once shaved my legs for carnaval (yup, that year I went as woman and in my hometown, carnaval is serious business :brood:).
Shaving off hair that had been growing freely for 28 years was alot of work.Unfortunately, no pictures from the legs.
:yes:Quote:

Hmm I just got given an electric one and nobody needed to show me how to use it, couldn't be simpler - no need for cream or other nonsense. :shrug:
The person that said you should have a normal shaver if your a real man also said to use a lady shaver in...urrr. moving on there all just being hypocritical :yes:Quote:

Lesson: whatever kind of cutting instument you use, it takes about 3 weeks of daily use for your skin (and whiskers) to get accustomed to it. This is true even when you switch from, for example, a safety razor to an electric shaver, or vice-versa. Be patient, anticipate some irritation, and practice, practice, practice, even when you don't "need" to shave today. Do it anyway, to toughen up your skin.
