I Am So Tired Of Shaving

[dj415]

Well there you have it. You are a bigger/greater lurker than I.

Back to topic....

I gave up shaving my beard completely. I can shave it (I have to do an electric/wet combo, though) but it'll grow back the next day putting me through the agony of repeating the process again.

Nowadays I just trim my beard and shave it clean on the edges.

I've used an electric shaver for years, but it is quite slow, and doesn't quite give the smooth effect of a blade, so I usually finish off with a blade. Just over the last few months though, I've gone back to using a blade exclusively. This has given me the fun of experimenting with different shaving creams and gels. It is a bit of pain though. On the other hand, I much prefer to look clean-shaven - the beard I grow is ratty and salt-and-peppery, giving me the look of somebody who'd try to pick up young children in parks.

I shave every four or five days, unless I have some sort of event to look nice for. I get into a hot bathtub, grab a Tracer, and just friggin' go to town on my face. I may have had sensitive, delicate skin when I first started shaving, but after twent y years of aggressive shaving techniques, I can pretty much hack it off any which way I choose.

I also got extremely bored with shaving not to mention the expense of good blades that I can only use once, sometimes twice; my beard is very coarse.

Well, one day I stumbled on an article about shaving with a straight edge, I became intrigued. I did some research and made the plunge!

I bought a straight edge, leather strop (to replace the edge after each shave) , brush, & shaving soap. That was about $280.00 US. I sent the blade out to be professionally honed for another $60.00 US. This is best, not something you want to trust your own hand at first time out.

The first time I tried it I was little nervous but closely followed the instructions from the person who honed the blade for me.

WOW! Best shave ever, NO discomfort, NOTHING left behind. Well, I became good at it and my bf became intrigued & got himself one. After he realized I didn't want to shave his body which is totally covered in fur, including the back.

A lot of the time we shave each other now, (faces). We have a huge clawfoot tub big enough for the both of us and a shower with bench & four shower heads. In either one we'll sit, lock our legs around each other and shave each other or we'll stand pressed against each other face to face at the sink and shave.

We love shaving now and even wake up earlier so we can take our time with it and start our day that way.

No doubt! I grew tired of the blade and tried switching to an electric, but wasn't happy with the results or the irritation... so now I'm back to the blade.

It can take your face up to four weeks to adjust to shaving with an electric razor when you switch from a blade. Just hang in there, it's worth the wait. I use a Norelco/Phillips wet and dry shaver in the shower and (I swear this is the truth) I now get a shave that is just a close as a blade without any of the nicks, scratches and burning sensations that I used to have with a blade.

Fuck me! How could I have ever forgotten to mention the fact that you are fat? Thank you for pointing out the errors of my ways!

NEWBIES beware. The_Pianist is OLD AND FAT!

Never forget!

Hugs and kisses!

Forget about shaving, just lay upon your back and open up, I would like to follow your first instruction. I am old, but not fat, well not around my waist. Just my ........

Legs up, please,

Somebody, please invent a hair-b-gone pill.

i have to take enough pills now as it is - go have major health problems.but i would be willing to take another pill to get rid of shaving = any day.

let me know when it comes on the market. my guess is that the shaving industry alreay knows of such a pill right now but are not about to release the information to profect their greedy profits on razor blades.

scrape, bleed, continue shaving and on and on it goes.​

eM.
