Re: Shaving
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.

Re: Shaving
I've had a beard now for about 24 years but I use a razor and plain old water to clean up around the edges. A sissors is the weapon of choice to keep the beard under control. I do the edging every 3-5 days and beard pruning every 3-4 weeks.

Re: Shaving
Stopped when I ran out of blades, as is usually the case for a few weeks or so
here and there. Will probably sort it out soon enough, especially as someone
likes to constantly point out how it supposedly happens to grow ginger. [Lies.]
it's the **** that happens while you're waiting for moments that never come

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
Re: Shaving
Razor and daily use.
Quckly looks unshaved otherwise.
We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

Re: Shaving
I like old-fashioned ones (with a handle, and a long blade), not the pre-packaged fancy teeny little things they sell you at x-mart (i.e., not the ones with disposable blades).
I've always wanted one, but it was always either
a) I couldn't afford a nice one
OR
b) when I could afford one, I couldn't easily find one, and consent to spend a good chunk of money just to feed my vanity...
So, in the meantime, I use the ones with disposable blades too...
Therapy helps, but screaming obscenities is cheaper.
Re: Shaving
If you need to trim it anyway and spend time on it, why have a beard?
Abandon all hope.
Re: Shaving
Because if you don't spend time on it through intervals, it looks like a jungle of pubic hair.
Re: Shaving
Two to three times a week with a razor in the shower to really soften up my cast-iron bristles. I used to shave less when I could but I must admit to a vain abhorrence of the rapidly increasing amount of grey hair! Damn ageing! I don't mind the grey in my hair but a grey beard is too much.

Re: Shaving
My beard must be older than most furumites - it was started in 1969, and has been with me continuously ever since!
I use the same maintainance method as Gregoshi, except for the use of some shaving get to go along with the water...sensitive skin with a tough beard needs all the help it can get.
