in Texas - old trustworthy remington
in Bangkok - german boker straight razor. for some reason the electrics give me a rash if i shave with them in thailand. it's damned near as hot and humid in houston so i don't know what the difference is.

the straight razor ( 7" blade ) also works wonders at deterring would-be attackers, who probably would not be equally intimidated by my remington shaver.

Weakid: Euh, yeah. Isn't that what I wrote?

Mach 3 have work for me so far

Ummmm...you would be shocked at how many men *don't* know that!  I can also guess that there are quite a few men on this board that use regular soap or just water to shave with and never think about their pores until they get some nasty razor burn or rash.....

#24 by ChasUGC - 8/15/2003 12:43:29 PM I guess I'm young too, because I use a Remington every other day. lol. But for some reason, I like it better when a lady talks about shaving her legs. Tell me more, Karmagirl. hehehe.

Who said I was talking about legs?  (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more.....)

Norelco, for about 30 years. Once a week now because I don't care.

KarmaGirl,

Are there after shaves for women???? I haven't used one because I really, really don't want to smell like a man after I shaved myself (and I do not shave my face ).
I have seen saving gels for women but nothing to "close the pores".

aufisch: anything that's alcohol based will work. But it's not really recommended because it can also block the pores (alcohol).  Just really cold water works just as well and is better for you skin.

Thanks paxx, in that case I just will freeze myself to death

straight razor when needed
otherwise i sport a beard all winter

Paxx, sorry man.. I mis-read it.

No electrics for me.....haven't found one that shaves as close as a razor. I don't like the mach 3 - or any other 3 blade razor. I'll stick with the comfortable shave of the gilette sensor - with shaving gel, not shaving cream.

Karma is always right...

I use 3 different types

First I usually wash my face, but not always.

The I use:
Norelco
Reminton wet/dry
Shycik razor (2 blades)

Beweetn all of those (or 2 and switching up) hot water and shaving cream I am cool.

I also exfoliate (spell?) once a week and use Noxema every 2 days to wash my face. Plus I use coca butter to try to get rid of those dark areas from shaving all the time...

That reminds me, i need to go to the skin doctor....

errr i have a very old electric shaver that has been serving me well for the last year or so,

Besides having it rip the whiskers out by the root, I always have to shave multiple times with an electric because it never works just once or twice for that matter... eck, wish one would though....

No, that is why I mentioned an astringent.  There are also some lotions that are made to apply after shaving.

I'm no guy but that never stops me from jumping in guy threads... hehe

/me no like hair on legs so me shaves but on guys the more they look like sasquatch the betterrrr

stay away from 99 cent razors and you guys will be fine, it has to do w/ buying a decent razor whether or not you'll burn later after you shave and lotion after is the key...

lets this topic here, and save it for the next person who want to know why is walls aint comming online

what the?

hehe China you know what I mean right, not talking about their legs talking about their chest, head and face girl! hehe
like Big Foots aka: Sasquatch, Yetti, or just hairy beast! guys are not suppose to be pretty boys (my opinion)

/me runs from all the pretty boys carrying sticks, tomatoes and razors to beat me up!

Dor, Yes I knew what you ment.

/me likes dor's theory on guys....

TasT begrudgingly uses a Gilette Sensor with the generic womans blades; for some reason they don't cause razor burn; Beats me as to why they look just like the mens blades but are blue instead of black????
