Thanks.
shaving oil so the razor glides on the face better, its cheap and lasts for ages. Dont know where youd get it from in the USA - a pharmacy, supermarket etc should stock it. Ebay also has loads if you search “shaving oil”. You jusy put a couple drops in a wet palm and smear it on the face, then lather on top of that. I swear by it.

i was just about to describe my stroke technique too.
If you saw me, metro wouldnt be the first phrase that come to mind.

Dude, if they were discussing mascara and wrinkle firming lotion, THAT would be metro. I shave my head. I personally think the act itself puts you outside of the “metro” category because there goes half of the shit they use from hair gels to glitter. I like my head smooth. I like it when women touch my head and say, “wow, your head feels so good”. It makes me feel so good. Therefore, to keep women touching my head, I may sure my dome is shiny and smooth. I shave pretty much everyday. My hair grows quickly and I want a smooth head. If this is metro, then so be it.
I use a Mach3 Turbo and soap. I have never gotten a better shave from anything else. I then use after shave (Curve seems to get more attention), lotion and very often Lavendar baby oil on my head. It takes all of 5 minutes to do this or less.
Wilkinson Quatro is the stupidest invention ever, and a pathetic attempt to get one up on Gilette as well. Anything more than three blades is stupid. I use Mach3, would like the vibrating one, i guess, but what I would really like is to become a master with the Barber’s Blade.
All in all, shaving is for pussies, real men sear their face with irons.

This is the ultimate in shaving truths, to which I was enlightened over a year ago. Shaving oil is the way of the future imo. I’m using King Of Shaves!

Yeah, but I’m with George Carlin on this one - black guys look great with shaved heads, but us white guys look like idiots.

Who shaves their nutsack?
I do and it feels great when ladies touch it!!![/quote]
Dude, this is a legit thread. Don’t screw it up with that stuff.
Also, have to agree with Prof X. Nothing metro about shaving.
No one has mentioned the real secret - shaving in the shower. Get your beard really wet, soapy and steamy so the stubble is softened up, then all you need is a bar of soap and a twin-blade disposable with a lubricating strip. I’ve been doing it this way for almost two decades.
I tried shaving the ole’ sack once with a Mach 3 Turbo and some high-tech shave gel. For one thing, even though I took my time and probably spent a solid twenty minutes on it, I couldn’t get rid of every little hair, because the nutsack is shaped like a raisin, with nooks and crannies. Even when you pull sections of it taught, it’s just . . . impossible. Secondly, towards the top, next to the shaft, I ended up with some mad razor irritation. It felt fine right afterwards, but the irritation kicked in hours later. Nice in theory, but in reality? Noooooo thank you.
For shaving the boys, Mach 3 and edge gel works nicely.
The Gillette Fusion actually disgusts me… almost as much as the price of Mach 3 blades disgust me. The perfect shaving article has tons of good info and I’m definitely going to the old double edged razor shaving ('cept for the family jewels).
I have my GREAT grandfathers shaving mirror that he had hanging in his Blacksmith shop/General Store. Also, I have several of my grandpa’s straight razors (intimidating) and one old DE razor. Using a razor that is 50-75 years old and the 100+ year old mirror would sorta make me feel a litte closer to my past.

Tried to upload earlier but didnt work, a lovely razor and probably too awkward and manly looking for the missus to borrow.

Merkur Futur Safty razor, thats a nice razor. I use it with a badger hair brush and shave oil and love it. Never get any ingrown hairs or razor burn. Or, if i’m in a hurry, i use a Shick Extreme 3. I like that to because i don’t have to take as much time with it.
www.menessentials.ca for everything you need for a great shave, and more.
I found that the electric Razors broke down too often and didn’t hold a charge worth a crap.
My boy tears ass around the neighborhood on his regular, push type Razor.
I’m not really sure how one could use a scooter to trim one’s nut hair, but to each his own.
Someone asked about the Gillete Fusion, so here’s what I thnk about it:
The 5 blades is nice in a way because it definitely does relieve some of the pressure from my old razor (Mach 3). However, because there’s less space between the blades, they tend to get “clogged” up with shaving cream and facial hair a lot. So pretty much after every stroke i’m rinsing the thing out.
I also got the vibrating one because I figured if I didn’t notice a difference I just wouldn’t turn it on…
It feels really weird. I shaved half of my face with the vibration on and have without the vibration and asked my Wife if she could tell a difference, and she could. So could I. It wasn’t in appearance, though, it was just in the feel… When you felt it you could tell it was closer.
It also seems to relieve some irritation for me. Not sure why, but it does…
The one blade on the back is VERY nice for the area just below my nose and those little patches underneath my jaw line that are a pain in the ass to get my 5 or 3 blades into.
I’d say the biggest thing that saves it is the one blade on the back, otherwise I could live without it.
im still gunning for the murkur razor. When a 3 bladed razor came out i thought - this is silly. Now 5? daft. Stick with 1 and learn to use it. Cheaper too. Mach 3 blades are a total con and they seem to have an almost monopoly type grip on the market.
Bring back the safety razor.

It really depends. Yes, white guys are much more likely to look like a giant penis, but it depends on who you are. Woody Harrelson, for instance, looks fine with a shaved head.
There is the problem of looking like a skinhead though. If you don’t look goofy, you look like you hate jews. Ah well.
