Shaving

[Divine Wind]

For the first time in a long while, i went out clean shaven with my friends last night, after having a tash and beard for around two maybe three years.

Ive always kept it trimmed down with an Electric shaver, but ive always found that it really pulverizes your skin, so i decided to go for a nice wet razor shave, and boy did i benefit from those results. Not only did the girls in my group love it, i managed to get it on so to speak, with a lovely young french girl. Oh la la!

So anyway, what do the fellow chaps at the .org go for? I like a beard, i think it makes me look a lot older, but those ladies really go for the smooth, clean cut look.

What do we think...to beard or not to beard?

[Dooz]

Shaving is a special occasion around here. Maybe once every few weeks or months. Maybe. Even then, it's only a trim and the chin area stays.

I got a electric razor for my birthday so I will shave off my moustasche

[Kralizec]

I use razors and shave 2 or 3 times per week. I suppose I could try growing a beard but I expect it would look like ****.

[ZombieFriedNuts]

I’m lazy electric for me

[The Wizard]

Real men use a razor.

[Somebody Else]

Razor, no soap. Occasionally water.

[King Henry V]

I guess I had better start shaving relatively soon, as I have quite a bit of what is called bumfluff (has nothing to do with hair down there). I just heard that once you start shaving, the hair grows thicker so you have to shave more often....I'm just lazy. It's a good job that I have fair hair, if not I really would need to shave.

[LeftEyeNine]

I have a beard like of that Wolverine guy of the X-Men. I did not go that far to shape it with some hair gel but I think I'll try that some time.

[Kralizec]

That definitely wouldn't work for me, but do share it when you do it

It's the same for me.

Razor with a basin of water. Always wet my face first. Always shave every 2-3 days.

[IrishArmenian]

I voted Gah! I have grown a great big before but that was because no time to shave for about three months, and I kept it for an extra 2. I use a tap (for water) and a straightblade. It hurt a lot to learn when I was young, but other stuff hurts more and as soon as I became good, nothing was cleaner.

Real men don't look like boys.

I've had a beard for years. I usually just use an electric to take off the moustache and trim down the thinner areas, but have recently decided to not bother trying to look like a nancy-boy in any respect, and am currently rocking the moustache.

[Red Peasant]

Real men don't look like boys.

Real men don't need a beard in order to look like a man.

[GoreBag]

Real men don't need a beard in order to look like a man.

Nonsense. Men grow hair out of their faces and that's all there is to it.

[BDC]

I have really dark facial hair and blond hair on my head. So I either look like a twat who dyes hi shair or look baby-faced and have to bring along a driving licence to buy a drink. Fun times.

[Red Peasant]

Nonsense. Men grow hair out of their faces and that's all there is to it.

If you say so.

However, the few friends I have who do cultivate face fungus spend far more time preening themselves than I do. I shave, simple. I don't even use a mirror, but my beardy mates wear their mirrors out with their constant trimming, plucking, cutting, combing, adjusting, etc. etc. Being a beardy (unless you go for the unwashed homeless look) is usually for the vain, and all that effort just to look like some 70s gay porn star.

[Justiciar]

Haven't shaved in a while, simply because I can't be ****. Hopefully if I leave it long enough it will look half decent. For the time being it's just a fuzzy mess.

electric

[Reverend Joe]

I like my beard, thank you. But there are some patchy spots, so I usually just shave them with a razor and cold water. I would use a straight razor, too (since none of the spots are on my neck) but I don't know where to find them.

So anyway, what do the fellow chaps at the .org go for? I like a beard, i think it makes me look a lot older, but those ladies really go for the smooth, clean cut look.

Girls have the worst tastes. Besides, despite what any of them might think, I need my beard. Not that it makes me look much older, but it makes me look more like... well... me. I don't look right without a moustache and beard anymore.

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

I've almost always used a razor, I tried an electric for a couple of months but I found it just wouldn't take the hair off, I have a very thick beard. If I leave it more than two days it becomes a pain to scrape it off again.

[Aenlic]

Screw that! Go beard. I haven't shaved since I got permission to grow a beard while in the US Navy. That was 27 years ago. I keep it trimmed; but I don't even shave my throat. Now it's all grey and it scares little kids and small animals.

If the ladies say they prefer the look and feel of smooth cheeks, simply reply that you prefer the look and feel of shaved pudenda and offer to share a razor. See what happens. Double standard? Nah.

[Taurus]

Electric for the win.

[Moros]

damn now I pressed the wrong button! It's telectric I am lazy. I haven't shaved me yet this week it's realy getting time.

[Lemur]

I was cursed with my father's thick beard, so shaving is a must. If I grew it out, it would be an impenetrable afro on my face.

Because it's so wiry and thick, I've experimented with every method of shaving known to man. Best results come from shaving in the shower by touch. What I've found is that it's all about how wet you can get and keep your face while you're doing the deed.

Obviously, the only drawback is I can't see what I'm doing. So I avoid the final trims by the sideburns and such until I'm out of the shower. But trust me, if you've got a problem beard, this is the way to do it.

[edit]

Lovely come-back about asking the ladies to shave in turn, BTW. But then, a lot of women would take you up on that one ...

[macsen rufus]

I vary from the long-haired-beardy to the crew-cut and clean shaven looks. Keeps my friends on their toes, and keeps the stereotypes at bay

When I do shave it's wet electric (rechargeable, not mains!) and to keep it clean shaven I should do it 2ce daily, as I have a serious 5pm shadow. It always comes down to 'does it itch more with a beard or with razor burn?' IMHO I look 10 years younger when I'm in crew-cut and clean face mode, and that's the way I'll stay, at least til the winter when I go all grizzly and hibernate with MTW.

[Kaiser of Arabia]

I'm too lazy to shave, so I got a (slightly thinner) president-of-iran-who'se-name-I-can-neither-spell-nor-pronounce beard going on.

[Ayachuco]

I don't shave, 'cause I don't grow mustache's. It's an inherited trait in my family.
