Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
I’m never shaving with a standard razor again. Having pale and dry skin makes my skin look like it’s been massacred. Only electric clipper from here on out.

I've gone back and forth, but am back on the blade. Body Shop shaving gel and aftershave gel has helped mediate skin irritation a great.

Electric just doesn't get anywhere near as close as real razor.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

It also seems to take longer than a blade. I imagine it's not actually true, but one of my aversions to shaving is that it seems to take for fucking ever, worse with an electric.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
I get these gross ass looking razor bumps though. I also don’t take hot showers anymore. My skin is that fucking pale that any sort of heat or abrasion just makes it look super fucked up.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Apr 2021, 1:49pmIt also seems to take longer than a blade.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
Exactly. Had a Braun with a cleaning base, but in the end, blades just do a better job.

One big advantage of electric is shaving while driving which probably isn't that safe, but whatever.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Apr 2021, 1:49pmIt also seems to take longer than a blade.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
It might a case of conditioning your skin before and after. I dunno. I have a couple isolated dry patches that shaving with a blade aggravates (which leads me back to an electric). But since going with the Body Shop stuff, which is loaded in aloe and natural balms and shit, I haven't had the problem, plus my face is smooth as Hoy's ass.RockNRollWhore wrote: ↑26 Apr 2021, 1:52pmI get these gross ass looking razor bumps though.

Take it from the voice of experience, don't use Nair hair remover on your face! When I was much younger, GF at time used it, I hated shaving with a passion (still do) and being the deep thinker I am, I applied that stuff to my face. Talk about a painful and red rash, took about a week for my skin to get back to where I could shave again.RockNRollWhore wrote: ↑26 Apr 2021, 1:32pmI’m never shaving with a standard razor again.

My fantasy product would be some kind of stubble eradication cream. Slather that shit on, wipe it off, and it's Hoy's ass for a week.Sparky wrote: ↑26 Apr 2021, 2:19pmTake it from the voice of experience, don't use Nair hair remover on your face!
