Your Razor Choice (for the partially or fully bald-faced)

[J_Mimbs]

I use a brush and shaving soap along with a safety razor. I'd love to use a straight razor but haven't had the time or money. Not too many guys my age shave with a safety razor (heck my dad doesn't) but I wouldn't go back to my electric shaver for anything.

I used to use the old twin blade straight razor and shaving soap, but gave that up when I started growing a beard on a regular basis. i do miss it though I admit.

Now I use a gillette mach 3 with changeable razor heads. You can get a good deal on them at costco. Since I only shave my neck and shape my beard now, they last for weeks.

I also don't use shaving cream, or worse yet shaving gel... I use Cromwell and Gruthers shaving oil. It's fantastic stuff, rub a nickel size dab into your damp beard and your good to go. It also works great in the field using cold water too. It also allows for a very close shave.

A shovel.

A shovel.

I keep my shovels sharp, but that's crazy...

Still using what's listed here daily: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...37/#post293650

Robert - Blades are still readily available but grocery and drug stores are much more expensive than online (eBay or sites such as West Coast Shaving.)

I can't use any form of electric because the grain of my facial hair is too close to the skin, but the Mach 3 works reasonably well. Whenever I have gone searching for better alternatives, the advice I always get is "try a straight razor."

I haven't got up the nerve yet, but when a pack of Mach 3 cartridges costs $28.00, my curiousity is given a bit of incentive.

I've been using the same Norelco electric shaver since 2001. I think it cost $100 or so, which seemed pretty steep at the time. Looking back...my shaving costs are about $10 per year. No complaints here. I kept clean shaven while I was in the Marines, but since 2008 I've experimented a bit with the whiskers. I'm in goatee mode today...

Here is my 1860's Wade & Butcher refurbished with desert ironwood scales.
I've got a few other straight razors but this one is easy to hone and handle and shaves like a hot knife through butter.



I find Straight Razor Place to be the best place on the net for wet shaving info.

I shave about once a week, usually Friday nights.

I am partial to the pink ones with the Daisies on the handle, I think Gilette makes them.

Really.

Mostly I dont shave and have the grizzly adams look most of the time, however I have an electric beard trimmer for when it gets too long, occaisionally I do trim around the neckline with a twin bladed safety disposable razor.
