wet or dry shaving?
I was at the grocery store checkout and they had gillette sensor excel replacement razor blade a package of 15 was $56 dollars Canadian plus taxes, that is a absorb amount to pay for razor blades


All my shavers are electric, see names below

philips norelco oneblade moustache and beard trimmer
Panasonic wet dry film type electric razor
Wahl Professional 5 Star Balding Clipper to shave my head mostly, well cut facial hair




my dream electric razor purchase is Braun PRO+ Electric Shaver Series 9, but at $399.99 CAD at amazon.ca that's fragin expensive


So do you use wet replaceable type razor blades or all out electric and battery charged razors??

I use the Gillette Labs razors, wet shave, I like the closeness of a clean shave.
Only electric, my face and blades are not compatible.
I pat my face down with rubbing alcohol, light it and quickly singe it off.

P.S. Don't try this at home.

I would put a disclaimer on that, you never know these days... :lunar2020horrifiedrat:

If you're not going for maximum smoothness, just get an electric razor and use it every 2 or 3 days. You will actually have to replace the blades every year or two because they will get dull after enough uses, but the razor itself is good to keep using so long as the battery works. Generally, that battery will go for at least 5 years.
I just bought a cheap Gillette safety razor and 100 blades for about $80. That was maybe two years ago. I'm not even through half the blades yet.

Always wet shave. My hair is thick so it needs to be softened up a bit first.
With an electric shaver, don't bother – you can just do it dry; it's not the same if you're using a safety/straight razor. It's not advisable to dry shave with a razor unless you want to scar up your face.

Just get a cheap traditional 1-blade safety razor off of eBay or AliExpress/Temu (if you want to have a clean shave). You don't need to buy those expensive pseudoscience multi-blade razors; save your money if you care to because most big box retail stores aren't going to sell them locally due to the monopoly of Gillette.

I figured shaving costs money and time, so i skip it. And it´s not that i would be looking for wimin...

Before that, i went with an electric shaver, to get some three days beard, and razor blade to bring it into some form. I couldn´t shave myself clean anyways, because of my cute skin.
Buy a double edge razor and some blades and you are good to go.

And a shaving brush too.
I don't go clean shaven unless it's needed for something. I always trim my beard every few days.
wet shave with a gillette, electric razors never worked well for me, my skin there is already dry af
Trimmer, then razor.
I haven't used electric shavers since I was a kid- and they were pretty terrible- at least back then.

In the UK I can get a pack of 3 Bic Flex4, for about £4.
They do a better job than Gillette razors for me without spending stupid amounts. And, wet shave all the way! Followed by Blue Jeans Eau de toilette :steamthumbsup:
