Also, if you shave your head with any consistency, every other to 3 days, you should be done in under 5 minutes EASILY.
Once I switched to a razor, from an electric one, my shave time has dropped to nil.
It takes me under 10 minutes to shave head and face and trim my goatee. Adding in buzzing my nether region adds an hour.

That’s imperative. You would think a Mach III would last longer than 4 shaves but they don’t.

Store your blades in rubbing alcohol. Now, bear in mind I don’t really grow facial hair, but I store my mach III blades in a little plastic cup of rubbing alcohol and I can go a month or more for the blades I use on my face.
When I was shaving my head I did the same thing, and I changed them every second week or so. I also marked them so I always used the “head” ones on my head and the “face” ones on my face.
It’s the corrosion that gets 'em, not the wear.

I just bought a box of 40 Bic Comfort3 disposables on a gamble, trying to save some money. Believe it or not, after a bit of getting used to they work, for me at least, as well as my Mach III which I never thought would be possible.
You can’t, but also don’t need to press as hard though.

God I fucking HATE those people. I have class with a girl that just won’t shut her fucking mouth up. She is I guess a half asian half white fat bitch who thinks she is the smartest one in class.
God damn it I hate her so much. She sits behind me, close enough to where I could just turn around and backhand her ugly fat face every time she opens it. I sit there and imagine it in slow motion, the back of my hand smacking her fat cheek, and the ripples it would make. Then the whole class cheers me and lifts me up and parades me around the room as their champion.

I find that keeping them in a vault locked away from my wife also keeps the wear-and-tear to a minimum.

What does that do to the lubricating strip?
Personally, I can’t imagine using a disposable blade that does not have a functioning lubricating strip attached. Lube is your friend.
as a baldy I can vouch for the under 2 mins with the mach 3 in the shower.
You need to do it every day…once it is routine you don’t even notice. I can carry on a conversation while shaving my head.
Not that any of this matters, the only thing this thread accomplished was making me hate the punk texas guy even more.

Been there. Done that. Got the scars to prove it.
A nice little revenge is to shave your ass with the lady-whatever-brand she uses, and then don’t rinse the razor afterwards.

Check your wife’s panty drawer. In the back, at the bottom. See that little toy? That’s where your AA’s are going, pal.

C’mon…you think I’m THAT DENSE???
Damn, any of you ever think about just finding a nice looking beautician to do it (shave your head…the top one) for you? Find the best looking one you can, tell her to take her time and tip her well. Problem solved and who cares if its under two minutes?

Who the hell has the time to go find a beautician just to shave their head when it takes two minutes to do it yourself? Of course, simply finding a good looking woman who happens to be a beautician does sound rather delicious, considering you want a smooth shiny head EVERYDAY, are you recommending regular 10-20 dollar visits or more several days a week?
I grew my hair back for a short time last year and experienced waiting in line for hair cuts on a Saturday morning for the first time since college (even though in college we usually found some guy on campus who could cut hair for a couple of bucks in between classes). I got the pleasure of not only paying for the haircut, but tipping the guy as well. You may not know what a “fade” is, but most brother’s want their’s looking fresh on a regular basis which equals quite a few trips every month just to keep looking crispy.
Long story short, it costs too much just to get a hair cut today when you can do it yourself for free.

hahaha, this really cracked me up. My brother has ears like him so we always joke about it. Anyway, gave me a good laugh.
I like this thread except for the texasguy hijack and that damn avatar.

Word. Gotta rock the fresh fade and keep it crispy.
