    Question Your preferred shaving instrument

    So wondering what everyone else uses to clear your morning stubble?

    Me I use either a Merkur 38C Safety Razor (Double Edge) or a Dovo Shavette if i feel frisky.

    God knows, I hate shaving! Grew a beard once for a few months but that had to go. It seems to get thicker as I grow older and the hair on top gets thinner. It's as if your hair follicles are rerouted to your ears eyebrows and nose as you get older.

    I answered but I guess my post crossed the line by saying I used three options...

    or the forum ate it.

    Oh well.

    I have two lengths of hair annoying and not(annoying). when it gets to the annoying length I buz it with some clippers. If I have something to look presentable for I will shave my neck. My father always said "if you keep a beard shave your neck."

    I buy Tantalum Capacitors and offer other services. Check out my thread for more info.

    I've been a member of dollar shave club for about a year and a half and love it. 9 bucks a month a pack of razors sent and they last me a lot longer than I need since I only shave once every week or so.

    Cheap disposable to touch up around my beard that I've had for probably 30 years. A pair of scissors clips the stragglers and a battery powered nose hair clipper. I wish I knew how to use fire to form my beard like the old west cowboys did. I cut my own hair except the wife has to do my neck once in awhile.

    winter is Grizzly Adams style, no shaving, no trimming. Except the darn mustache hairs that like to get caught in my teeth...lol, I won't shave till the first dandelions open.
    summer I have a Mach-3 razor and some cheapo clippers does the job well enough.
    One day I would like to go to the barber for a straight blade shave and a nice haircut.

    My dad is a barber, and the straight razor is the men's equivalent of a spa day. It's awesome. Most good barber's don't even charge that much to do it. I think my dad charges 8 bucks extra if you get a haircut.

    Not the cheapest but a cheap disposable once a week on the cheeks and around the goatee.

    My barber uses a straight razor on the neck and around the ears when done with the flat top.

    I just started using a saftey razor. I have gotten tired of paying the high prices for dispozable razors and the quality seems to be going down hill. The saftey razor is easy to clean out rather than the multi blade type razors which seem to neeed to be beaten on the sink. Mike

    Beardo is this you...





    Sidenote was just reading some dude shaved off his beard he'd been growing since the 70s. Raised $16,000 bucks for his local YMCA(I think that was the group).

    I was in the same boat. 40 bucks will buy enough blades for a year and some. But me switching from disposables to safety has opened a whole other can of worms. What shaving cream or soap to use, which aftershave, what am I going to shave with today safety or shavette.

    Your preferred shaving instrument

    Sir I don't think I am in that guys league yet. My beard length is hampered by zippers, torches, mean babies and general mayhem. The major benefit is I not only save money on razors but also on ski masks.

    Quit shaving at Thanksgiving. Will start again when the first robin is seen. Need the warmth in the cold Dakota's winter. The other reason is the fact that there is more hair in the Southern Hemisphere than on top of the head. From spring until fall use a disposable razor and soak it in alcohol after shaving. Still using the same razor from two years ago. Bought a 10 pack and at this rate the package will last until age 70.
