If you cut yourself regularly (>50% of the time), you should switch something. Honestly.

I read somewhere that two blades (ie, the standard Bic disposable razors) are optimal - anything more shaves too and leads to razor burn and ingrown hairs.

killy in my hippy arts students days i had a phase of not shaving my legs. but they seriously looked like boys' legs after a few days. i used to work in a pub at the time and a punter once said he hoped my 'box wasn't as hairy as your rugby-player legs'. that was embarrassing. so after that i decided to forgo my not-caring for hair removal. i wish the hair was finer and blonder - then i probably wouldn't shave at all!

Oh and it's always hope out of shower, mach 3, gillette gel (used to use nivea, loada shite) and then back in shower. Splash on cold, aqueous cream on face, sudocream on neck. Splash on some stink and hello ladies...

1. Washing face beforehand is a good way to remove dead skin cells and to soften the hairs up.2. I use two shaving products at the same time - first, Aveda shaving cream from a tube, topped with Aveeno shaving cream from a jar. Let that sit on the face for at least a minute or two to continue the softening process.3. Shave with Mach 3 standard (as opposed to Turbo). Go with grain, washing after every three strokes or so. Right cheek, right jaw line, left cheek, left jaw line. Neck with the grain - then RE-APPLY Aveeno shaving cream to neck area. Mouth/chin area, followed by neck accross the grain.4. Rinse in shower, pat dry with towel, apply Aveeda Apres Rasage skin balm, with really nice botanical smells.
All told, 5 minutes, rarely nick or irritate skin, and very close and neat shave - which my wife likes, so that's good.

I just started shaving with a razor (as opposed to an electric) for the first time in, oh, 13 years. And I can't believe there's a thread about this to guide me in my journey.

I have one of those three-razor Gilette dealys. How do I get the goop and hair out from between the blades before I go up for more? I was banging it against the sink for a while, but it flew off and went down the drain.
Also, should I call a plumber?
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Thursday, 9 August 2007 02:01 (seventeen years ago) link
Whiney, you know what I do? I puse my lips on the blades and blow! It works! I have not cut my lips once, so it's perfectly safe to do so, if you are careful.
― moley, Thursday, 9 August 2007 02:13 (seventeen years ago) link
Won't that blow hair and shave goop all over my walls?
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Thursday, 9 August 2007 04:17 (seventeen years ago) link
Not if you aim at the sink.

okay, anyone still use aftershave?
i only ask because for years -- at least 10 -- i've used this stuff:
http://www.escentual.com/isroot/Escentual/SiteImages/ProductImages/CalvinKlein/EscapeForMen/aftershave100ml.jpg
can't remember why i started using it, but i did. i liked it; it became my signature scent.
problem is, it's nigh-on impossible to get hold of these days in aftershave form (though not as eau de toilette). i can't be arsed trogging round 10 different shops just to find a bottle, so i figure it's time to find something else.
but what?
and do i need aftershave anyway? hellfire, i've got a fucking beard at the moment. it seems a bit excessive to spend 20 or 30 quid on something just to splash on a bit of my neck. and nobody else seems to use the stuff any more. i always thought it was good for your skin in some way, but i've no idea how or why.
anyway. recommendations etc appreciated.

― electricsound, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 22:57 (sixteen years ago) link

pre-beard, I need the aftershave otherwise I'd get too irritated. Even still I use it when I shave my neck, parts of my cheeks, and the back of my neck. I'm a big fan of the Nivea line of products. I've used more expensive stuff and enjoyed them, but this stuff is soothing, smooth and has no scent:
