Shaving

[neo0.]

As of late, I've become pretty dissatisfied with my remington electric shaver. Im thinking of switching to the gillete fusion and im wondering if somone here could give me some advice on the pros and cons of manual vs electric.

Here is what I currently don't like about going the electric route
1) It doesn't make me feel like a real man.. More like a 7th grader who just learned about growing a beard in sex ed class and immediately became alarmed at the idea.

2) It doesn't give you a close shave, more like the "Im bored of my job" look..

3) You have to charge it and if you don't, it causes well.. undesirable side effects..

4) I causes friction, resulting in razor burn



On the other hand, I've heard that straight razors take time to learn and i wonder what my girlfriend will think when she sees me with random cuts..

deleted the other post. hope it was the right one

Manual ones work just fine i think
I have had mine for a year or so and has not yet cut myself.... at least not more than once.

real men shave with these:

So not true -.-
REAL men shave with these.

youre all wrong!

Real men dont shave at all!
(at some point they cut it down a bit)

edit: on topic - i dont use any electric shaver, doing it manually with a mach3. if youre good at it you will be a lot faster than with any electric shaver
plus its a lot more precise and and far more efficient! one stroke and all stubbles are gone. what i remember from back when i used an electric shaver is basically this:

*shaves*
oh there are some more hairs!
*shaves again*
*thinks is ready*
going out of the bathroom
girlfriend says:
"hey there are a lot hairs you missed!"
*shaves again*

and then... i miss the bus.

mach3 ftw!

LOL fused, exactly!

A real man doesn't just shave.....he grates....

I love my fusion though lately I shave so infrequently that i need to use a trimmer before the razor.

Haha - no, lets be serious though. When a real man does have to shave, you cant do better then one of these

Once I used the sister of a friend's to shave me, and that was so nice that she shaved my whole head. Good trip

people without eyebrows are a worry

but its kind of kinky to have a shaved guy...was that for a thong?

wtf is up with that knock off chainsaw? My dad had a stihl - it was fucking elite. That swool is some kind of POS knockoff i guess.

Well, my minds made up... Im going into work with a beard.
